Question:

To whom should I donate a lot of used toys?

I have a crazy aunt who sends my daughter more random toys than she could ever possibly appreciate. My aunt does this because she has too much time and money and not enough substance in her own life. Even though I have asked her to stop, she persists because she thinks that it is funny. Most recently, she has taken to buying up large lots of Barbie dolls (newer worthless ones), barbie furniture, and barbie clothes and sending them to me by the boxful. While I am appreciative, I am also disturbed because I do not want my child to think that she can just have everything. I would like to donate these things to a charity that would find them useful or enjoyable as I simply do not have the space (or, frankly, the need) to keep them.

I would like some suggestions as to the type of place I might look to give these away without also passing along their not-insignificant annoyance factor.

Thank you for your help.

I WILL choose a best answer.

  1. if the newer barbies are fairytopia/mermaidia then you could sell them on ebay.  i buy those there and they always have lots of bidders.  you could use the money to start or add to a trust or college fund.

    but if you are very well off and don't have any use for extra money then i'll just second the first answer.  

    most toy drives i see are for new toys only.


  2. Try to find a local shelter for abused women and their children. For those who decide to get out of an abusive relationship, alot of times they have to leave everything behind and children are left without their toys.
