I have gained so much from Swap Mamas, I hardly know where to begin! First of all, I have gained a lot of great Mama friends! It can mean so much to see a cheerful "hello!" waiting for me when I check in! I have also gained a lot of great inspiration for the website that I am writing on frugal living -- what better way to be frugal than to trade necessary items from other moms that don't need them anymore?
I think another thing that we all gain is the satisfaction of sharing a beloved but out-grown item with someone that can appreciate it and put it to good use.
I have probably saved at least $700 in the three months that I have been a member of Swap Mamas. I have found some wonderful treasures: a flat iron that my step-daughter wanted (I saved her from having to buy a new one); a wonderful decorative clock for my living room; and some very nice clothes.
I also did probably 75% of my Christmas "shopping" through Swap Mamas, saving me a WHOLE lot! The handmade items are the best! For gifts I have swapped for handmade soaps, scarves, caps, and baby slippers. A sewing mom is now making me some throw pillows for my living room, and a very talented artist mom has done a portrait of my husband's two grandchildren that I plan to give him for Valentine's Day (Shhh - don't tell him!)."
