What Swappers Are Saying
So excited! Went to my first swap last month and loved it! I have three girls and am expecting my fourth next month so this is a much needed, wonderful thing!
“I heard about the event from our local news paper (the Rose Garden Resident) and I’m very excited about the event! Thanks for bringing it over to San Jose.”
“I love it. I get to get my little one’s new stuff and clean out my house at the same time. good bye to the used kid store. this is so much better”
“This was my first swap and let me tell you, I left ready to do it again!!”
“This is an amazing organization and it makes so much sense to have ongoing swaps since kids grow so quickly. Thanks for organizing.”
“LOVED IT!! I can’t believe that I got a jogging stroller!! Thanks so much!! I am going through more clothes for the next one.”
“I had a lot of fun and found some great stuff! Thank you! See you next month.”
“You did an awesome job with the P.L.S. … And had such a great turn out!” ~ Keywest Kiddos
Thanks so much for giving us a chance swapping/recycling items and as well as meeting with other Moms. We really had fun and even made friends at your event. The time spent was really worthwhile. We’re looking forward to your next event. Since I hadn’t had enough time to go through everything we have at home, I did that as soon as I went home from the last event. Now I already have a bag full of stuff, ready for next time already!
“As a pregnant first time mom, I found it to be a great idea! I brought some toys that were too young for my kindergarten students and was able to get a few maternity and baby items in return. I think what you’re doing is fabulous! Friends and family that live in other areas are envious when I tell them about what you’ve done. My mom couldn’t believe the quality of the cute baby clothes I got from the swap.”
“I recently attended a peace.love.swap and LOVED it. I have also been to J.B.F sales and swap online with ThredUp – but I loved p.l.s! It was so easy and fun and I left with some great stuff for my three kiddos!”
“Loved participating, helping, swapping and chatting w/ other Moms. Thanks for all your hard work on this event!”
“I just wanted to say thank you for today’s swap. This was a first ever for me and I completely enjoyed it. :D I can’t wait until the next one.” ~ Amy N.
“This was so fabulous! well organized, great stuff, and a good way to pass along my maternity clothes to someone who will use them.”
“I attended your last swap and it was the coolest thing I’ve seen in years! Bless you for your effort and dedication to humanity. Thanks again”
“What a success. bravo to everyone. I loved the variety of items. love my new books, toys, clothes. what a cool idea. Can’t wait for the next.”
What Swap Organizers, Sponsors & Vendors Are Saying
“As a family, we want to give back to the community. We know how fast kids grow and how precious time is. P.L.S. is sure to be a great resource for families in the area by providing a social, timely, and friendly opportunity for those too small clothes, toys, and everything else kid related to find a new home that isn’t a random closet, the used-to-be-room-for-a-car garage, or your kid’s drawers!”
“I am so excited to be a volunteer and sponsor for raffles!! This is a great thing you have started!! See ya soon!”
“Honestly, one of the things I like a lot is the appreciation that I get from the moms who attend. That’s not something you get a lot of as a stay home mom.”
I enjoy seeing and hearing how proud my 6 year daughter is when she sees me at a swap. It’s my one of my favorite parts – having my children see what I am doing, who it’s for and why. And hearing about the families that this has helped is so rewarding!!!
“Being a part of a team has made the journey that much more enjoyable! …. thanks to Elle & Meg for leading up this great team and for the encouraging words! “
“I wanted to start my own peace. love. swap. because I loved the idea of the swapping. All parents know how quickly their kids grow out of things, and how much money we spend for things to be used for such a short period of time. This awesome organization allows us to save money while also helping out our own community. It is such a fun type of event to do because you can see how happy all of the parents are to be getting “new” items for their kids without spending a ton of money. You won’t regret it if you decide to start your own p.l.s. in your area. :)”
“I was a vendor at one of the PLS and I had a blast, met lots of women and babies, and I found some of the greatest cutest clothes for my baby! So excited for the next one!!”
“Meg – I sent you a note from the site, but I wanted to follow up now that I had a chance to look through it. It’s fantastic! I am so excited to be a part of what you are doing, and you seem to be doing it VERY well! Your website is well thought out and very informative. Thank you for all of the places you listed our name and link.”
