A friend of mine goes to fashion swap shops and gets some great clothes. It's invite only but you can probably find other ones via google.
Or try www.freecycle.org

Back in the good old days we had the swap shop to deal with the tricky issue of unwanted presents.
Now we have e-Bay, where we have to pay a middle man.
Is there a modern-day swap shop where we can make swaps for free?
And if not... does anyone want to swap some coffee mugs?
