To each his own. Glad my things get used by people who truly need them not a private company making a profit off of me. Shrug.
They sell the clothes to a private company who in turn makes a profit too. These clothes are not being used (even good, usable ones) for the needy (like most people think).
My mom does that too. On top of the money she sends us to buy what we choose, she will send us something for our home. One year it was a Kitchenaid mixer, the next a Kitchenaid food processor, the next a steam mop. This year she got me a cashmere sweater. My dh doesn't really get the extra gift this year though-lol!!

Nah, I do both, give my children a nice Christmas and donate.
We are fortunate and blessed to be able to do both and have been able to do so for many years :)
I did the angel tree this year and bought a bunch of stuff for a child ... and even if that meant I spent $40 less on my own kids, my kids won't know I spent less on them. They just know I gave to someone else.
