At a previous employer we had a trunk swap. It was a garage sale out of your car--it was fun. All the participants had their cars in a certain area of the lot and opened their trunk. You walked through just like a neighbor hood garage sale and bought stuff. Old jewelry was popular.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592676 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 12:05:45 +0000 Elizabeth P 1592676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea!

The clothing swap can be a mixed blessing - I always seemed to end up with more than I went in with.&nbsp;I love your idea of focusing it on categories.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592638 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 08:01:45 +0000 Helen11 1592638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! Much better to just have one category of items. &nbsp;I've been part of clothing swaps before, and the amount of clothing can sometimes be overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592631 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 06:49:43 +0000 Golden 1592631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic idea, if I worked with stylish people I would be interested in giving this a whirl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592623 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 05:39:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1592623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea!

Almost makes me wish I worked in an office.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, last night I went to the radio station holiday party, and one of the young women who works in the office has told me a few times that whenever I clean out my closet, I need to let her know! Your story makes me think that she might appreciate some of my unworn jewelry!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592521 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:45:32 +0000 JAileen 1592521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592520 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:44:38 +0000 Anonymous 1592520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have done this with accessories in my PEO women's group and it was fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592519 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 22:43:25 +0000 Peri 1592519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant!

I ended up with a cute necklace -- rose quartz on burgundy (I should break it out now; it would look very current!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592483 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 20:45:58 +0000 Anonymous 1592483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant idea. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592482 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 20:37:56 +0000 Sveta 1592482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a great idea!<br />Too bad my office in predominantly male </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/office-swap#post-1592480 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 20:27:54 +0000 catgirl 1592480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I spontaneously brought to work a bunch of necklaces I'd planned to consign.&nbsp; I put them in a spare room and sent an email, and by the end of the day they were all snatched up.&nbsp; </p> <p>Everyone was so enthusiastic that I've instituted a "free-for-all Friday" for people to bring in their unused items for others to take.&nbsp; At the end of the day I'll haul everything off and donate to charity.&nbsp; This week the theme was "scarves" and it was a big success.&nbsp; People felt inspired to clean Kondo style and focusing on one area helps.&nbsp; Fun and thrifty and a good way to raise spirits during the holidays!&nbsp; I think purses will be next.</p> <p>Has anyone else done something of this sort at work?</p>
