[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago someone in my neighborhood hosted a stuffie adoption event- sort of like a lemonade stand but for free stuffies.  They all had names and background stories. It was so cute and I’ve wanted to do something similar. Sadly I can’t get it together to do it![/quote]

Our local elementary school does this at their end of year carnival. The PTA takes donations and then washes/dries them as needed, then sets up an adoption booth. They might just be "free" or the kids might spend tickets they win at games, I am not sure. I've also had good luck taking stuffed animals to free swaps around town. Our homeschool group does one at a public park and everyone is welcome to take things. Our town also hosts one once a month after the farmer's market.

If you are wondering about a thrift store, the best thing to do is actually go in the store and see what they are selling. I was hesitant to take any to Goodwill until I looked inside. They had some very sorry ones for sale. Even my free swap rejects were better than what they were currently selling, so I dropped them off.[/quote]
