Spring is the perfect time to refresh, reset, and make space for what’s next — and what better way to do that than by giving a second life to the things your family no longer needs? Millburn Mamas & Minis is excited to host our first Spring Clothing/Toy Swap, a fun and sustainable way to declutter your home while supporting other local families. Bring gently used children's items, toys, books, baby gear, and maternity clothing — and find new treasures for your growing minis!
📅 Saturday, May 17 (Rain date is Sunday, May 18)
🕒 3–5 PM
📍 37 Richard Drive, Short Hills
Drop-off starts Monday, May 12!
To make sorting easier, please follow these steps:
Fold clothing and bundle it by size (see suggested size categories below).
If you have extra cardboard boxes, feel free to donate them for use at the event.
Drop off items on the front porch of 37 Richard Drive in clearly labeled bags or boxes.
Leftover items will be donated locally after the swap.
