WHAT??? Do you know EXACTLY what they do with the money they get from company that buys the clothes? Do you know where they get the things to sell in their stores? Do you know how much the drivers who work for these companies make?

I think they felt like many of us, he is 3, not 10. This is probably his first "real" Christmas to understand about gifts.

Ii've heard of people having quite the ebay income by buying things cheap at good quality thrift stores - often those run by charities - and reselling on ebay.

I am really happy that there are organizations that do this. We don't tend to buy new clothes unless the old ones are worn out (well, not the kids since they often outgrow them first). It's nice to know that someone can do something with worn out clothes.
