Do you Zwaggle?

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I was just introduced to a cool new website – Zwaggle.com- where you can find gently used children’s clothing, toys, gear and – most importantly – Halloween costumes…

Here is the twist – you don’t pay for the goods – you trade for them (by posting your own clothing/toys/great/costumes,  earning “Zoints” (AKA points) along the way.

Here’s what they have to say about their current “Costume Drive”:

Zwaggle plans to become the ultimate Halloween Headquarters for FREE, recycled costumes online this year. Post your gently-used costumes, accessories and other ghoulish gear on Zwaggle.com to keep these quality items out of landfills so other families can enjoy them. As an added bonus, we`ll automatically enter every member who posts an item and completes a trade in our Halloween category into a drawing for a 200-Zoint spending spree. The more members who post, the more costume options we`ll have for our little ones this year – so help the planet and your wallet by Zwaggling your Halloween gear today!

Have you ever traded on Zwaggle? Let us know how it went! We’d love to hear from you.
