So you're interested in learning more about the hot new trend of "Swapping." It's the newest, best way to dump some of your unwanted stuff in exchange for a few items you will use! Swaps provide an inexpensive (and environmentally friendly) way to update a wardrobe, make over a room or trade in unwanted toys.

A Swap is usually hosted in someone's home or in the yard. It starts with a group of moms who dig out unwanted items from their closets and bring them over to the host's house for display and trade. At the Swap, everyone gets to choose "new" stuff while munching on snacks and chatting away.

If hosting a Swap sounds good to you, you'll need this handy checklist. It shows exactly what you'll need to organize a successful Swap. So, stop waiting to be invited to a Swap, and host one instead! You'll be the hit of the neighborhood.
