Site Find: Do You Zwaggle?
Category: Poll Cool Sites
No two kids may be alike, but the odds are every one of them will: A) get gifts they don’t wear, play with or need; B) Grow out of clothes or grow tired of toys that still have plenty of life in them C) Break or lose something that you’ll have to replace.
That’s where Zwaggle comes in. Zwaggle.com is an on-line community where you can join for free and swap the stuff your kids no longer need or want for stuff you can use. Instead of cash, you earn and spend zoints. You spend less, declutter and share something that might otherwise have ended up in the landfill.
It works like this. I have a barely used baby bathtub. I list it on Zwaggle either for pick-up only, limiting “buyers” to my local area, or I may want to use the Federal Express shipping tool. Zwaggle decides my baby bath is worth 25 zoints. Another Zwaggler “buys” the baby bath giving me zoints for something I need like a baby monitor. Or I can save my zoints for a big ticket item like a stroller. The more stuff I share, and friends I get to join, the more zoints I earn. Zwaggle even has a group feature that allows clubs, schools, kids sports leagues, etc. to create their own trading circle.
Makes Zense doesn’t it?
As far as I’m concerned, there should be a Zwaggle for every age group. I’d Zwaggle my kids’ DVDs and video games, Zwaggle the books they read once and I ended up donating to the library. Heck, I’d Zwaggle all those impulse shoe purchases sitting in my closet.

I very much appreciate the author put such an excellent article down here.Posted by High School Football Rankings on 12/18 at 10:17 PM
The absolute best site to trade buy or sell gently used baby stuff is http://www.swapbabygoods.com. I have been using it for so many years and all these new copy cats websites do not hold up to it. The moms on SBG are wonderful and it is so easy and flexible to trade over there. The categories and the whole system simply makes more sense. The best part is it is free to use and run by a mom too.Posted by Amy on 03/17 at 10:17 AM
This is an excellent idea! It allows a person to un-clutter their house of unused items, while helping out some other families as well. Not only that, but it will help increase savings!Posted by London ON Homes on 05/07 at 08:20 AM
