Contestant's Case to Win

Gumdropswap.com is the eco-friendly, economically sound choice for clothing your growing child. The average family spends an estimated $350-500 a year on clothing (per child) from age 0-11. Children may wear an outfit a few times, then it no longer fits. You may even have new items that still have tags. These items are taking up precious space. Why not de-clutter and swap for clothing that fits in return, without buying more? You won't have to post a classified ad or deal with strangers. We do all the work for you. You send us your gently used items and we send you items you can actually use! When your children outgrow those items, as long as they are still in excellent condition, simply swap them again to continue the cycle. You earn "goodie gumdrops" for items that show obvious signs of wear and those are donated to charity. Any damaged items are repurposed and recycled into baby quilts and other apparel. Less waste, more money in your pocket. It's that simple.
