Unwanted clothes are:
Too big
Too small
Impulse buys that doesn't fit
Those that you don't like anymore
Not worn for the past 3 years
Worn out
Discoloured
And here's what you can help make full use of them.
1. Wear it for holiday periods. You really wouldn't want to worry about soiling or losing your beloved clothes while having fun or relaxing. Total peace of mind.
2. Too small or big at the waist? Perhaps shifting the buttons further in or out may make the pants wearable again. Good for people who have lost/put on weight, bloating problems or are undergoing pregnancy.
3. Use it for special purposes. Painting the house, spring cleaning, moving house, dirty areas, volunteer work, confinement period, hospital stays, exercise/workout, marathon, etc.
4. Use it for local outing. Beach and poolside lounging, swimming, picnic in the park, outdoor activities, etc.
5. Cut out favourite picture or slogan and frame it up. Whether or not it's Marilyn Monroe or Vincent Van Gogh...

6. Pass down to kids. Why not?? It'll be funny.
7. To wipe very dirty mess. From commercial or industrial to residential mess. Or from infant care up to elderly care.
8. Donate to charity organisations or relatives who don't mind second-hand clothes, especially baby, toddler and children's clothing.
9. For messy hobbies and games. Waterplay with water toys, kid's painting sessions or other art and crafts sessions, trampoline and other active play, Play doh, cake-making or other baking /cooking sessions, etc.
10. Keep for second pregnancy- as mommy's post-pregnancy clothes or pass down kids' clothings to your second or third child.
11. Wrap around glass and other fragile, sharp or metallic items in the storeroom.
12. Keep as mementos. Just for the sweet memories. I kept my firstborn's onesies nicely in a ziplock bag.
13. Use it as part of your furniture. For inner pillow cover, chair/car seat cover, massager chair seat cover, stool seat cover, or to wrap around any type of furniture. Bigger socks can be used to house unused gadgets and electronics (wrap unused handphones and chargers in socks). Smaller socks can be used as a chair or table leg protector to reduce dragging.
