Was thinking about this when I started another thread about wanting to pass on some baby/ toddler books.
Is it just me, or when you give stuff away, do you want to feel sure that it has gone to a 'deserving cause' i.e. someone who really needs it, and will appreciate it?
Sometimes it seems so hard to 'find' that person/ cause though?
When I've put stuff on Freecycle I feel like adding 'tell me who it's for, and how it will be used' !
I've been annoyed a couple of times to see stuff I've given away (for supposed personal use) then sold on eBay.
However I love it when I've freecycled something, and the recipient e-mail afterwards and say 'thank you so much, the kids adore it' etc
Is that wrong? Am I just being horribly smug and wanting to feel good myself about giving stuff away???
