This is where we post what we have to give away at no cost or obligation to the person receiving.....

For our purposes, a Random Act of Kindness (to be referred to as a RAOK) is defined as something nice one PBS member does for another PBS member with NO CREDITS changing hands! The idea is for people to post items they are willing to send another member FREE of charge or credits (including shipping). This is a great way to make someone's day at the same time that you can declutter your house of things you no longer need/use but weren't sure you wanted to discard. NOTE: Some of us don't remember every member's nickname, so it is helpful to write that by your address label, when you send a RAOK, to make it easier for receiving members to thank you. Please REMEMBER to thank members as some items do get lost in mail and we want to know that our USPS is doing their job!

The way to do this, is to list items to this thread that you are willing to send as RAOKs the way we list damaged books/ARCs/etc. in the Book Bazaar, and make them first come, first serve. When an item has been spoken for, please cross it off or delete it from your post. You might want to show who got it but that's up to you. Just make sure you update as frequently as possible so that no one is disappointed. Please everyone just use one post each and keep it updated. NOTE: Before posting a ROAK, please check this month's *** I Wish thread to see if you are able to fill a members' Wish, first. This is especially true for Coke codes, boxtops for education, etc.

If you see something you'd like, PM the member with your address. To post things you are wishing for, see the *** Monthly I WIsh thread.*** And to keep these threads clean and easy to read, please use the ***Monthly Thank you thread*** to thank people for things you have received. Always let the members know, either in a PM or Thank You that you rec'd the item so they know it's not lost.

Obviously since RAOKs are free but cost the sender shipping, if you request a RAOK from someone and they aren't able to ship it for a while, please be patient! Please mark out items as they are taken so other members are not disappointed

If you have questions, please feel free to PM me and ask. We are happy to help our RAOKer friends, old and new!

I've been on a bookmark making binge & have gotten carried away, so I have quite a few extra bookmarks to share. These are handmade, laminated bookmarks made from old card fronts & notecards & other odd-n-end paper items. For now I am able to send 2 bookmarks each to 5 people. Perhaps toward the middle of the month I can send out some more.

I will send to the first 5 people who PM me with their mailing info. If let me know your favorite colors or hobbies or other info about you I will TRY to send bookmarks that fit your personality.

1) Kate H. (dufiedog)

2) Deborah A. (DebKit)

3) Pat V. (Sheeplady)

4) Briana - HI

5) Carol W. (carolceltic)

I had a few more than 5 respond so I will be sending to Holly (bayyore) & jacci-jerri  as well.

That's all I can handle for now. I'll try to come back & offer more mid-month.

Here are the items I can send out this month:

Clearing out some more Comic*Con 2010 swag items, I found these large postcards that might as well be mini posters. They are 7in high and 5in wide. They display the covers of a few titles that, at the time of Comic*Con, were newly released. The postcards depict the following books:

Glee The Beginning

PM me with you requests! :)

I have 2 Victoria's Secret short nightgowns or slips (it looks like a little dress with spaghetti straps). I have black and orange size XS and S. They are used (clean), but 100% silk- so i'm thinking you could use them for scrap pieces or something. Both to one person please. First to PM get's it.

ETA: Ok, maybe I should say very very lightly used, I tried it on, washed, it's just too dang small. Very good condition silk, though.

no international shipping please

Gone! Thanks!

I have these items to offer:

2 pairs of gently worn (but clean!) ankle socks:
(1) white with green shamrocks and (2) white with snowflakes. 
They're cute but too small for my big size 8 1/2 feet. 

A mouse pad; the old spongy soft kind.

A bunch of word-search puzzles.  They're torn loose from a book of brain-teasers, but hopefully someone will enjoy them!

 

Please zing me a pm if you're interested.  Thanks!

Hair Bump Its in brown - never been used / worn

-- Just like what you see on TV. To be honest, it's hard to put on. (A lot of teasing & sprays!) If you master it, it's a great way to create an extra UMPH in your hair style. There are a lot of videos on Youtube that can help you. cheeky

Taken!

I have 1 reward code from Huggies - Enjoy the Ride rewards - PM me and I can send to you

I have a couple (not sure how many, still cleaning out) gently and roughly used boards books that aren't worth posting - may or may not be postable condition, I'd just rather send 1 box to someone that can use them.  For used board books I always just put them in the freezer for a day or so and wiped down with a cloth if worried about cleanliness - never hurt my 2.  ;)  FWIW

Taken, thanks. 

Still cleaning, found more :).  I have a Crib Tent, by Tots in Mind https://www.totsinmind.com/   It was used, and we are definitely NOT a pet-free home.  (dogs, cats, birds) There are a couple small snags in the cover from cats climbing on top, but still useable.  I don't have box or directions anymore, so you'd have to find them online.  I'm afraid it'd just get tossed in the trash if I donate since it's just a pile of fabric and poles without a box.
