Do what your heart moves you to. From our clothes drive thread (I love this!):
My son is over there and I sent him a soft sided pool, beach towel, sunscreen, shorts, thongs (as in wearing on the feet) and a cheap pair of sunglasses. He called and said the prize was great, they used the pool once and then he gave it to some little kids over there. He said the kids could not believe someone would give them such an expensive gift. I look at my neighbors yard and see thousands of dollars in toys laying all over, and say 'THANK GOD' we live in the USA and have an abundance of everything.
Gently used is fine. Y
