Free: tiny "tea" jars in a box (Bloorcourt Village) Gifted - This is the packaging for the Christmas collection from David's tea. These tiny jars have clear lids and screw on very nicely. They could be used for tea, spices, beads ect. Could not through out, but haven't found a purpose for in over a year. They are from LAST Christmas. Hopefully, you have a home for them. Please let me know if you are interested in picking up.

Free: My Spy Birdhouse (Bloorcourt Village) Promised - It's this: We were too afraid to hang it up because we didn't trust the suction cups it came with. We were afraid a bird would make a nest, and then it would fall down, so we didn't use it! I'm sure if you have the time, you could come up with some crafty way of hanging it! or maybe you have another purpose. Let me know if you would like to pick this up.

Free: powdered coffee (Korean style) (Bloorcourt Village) Gifted - box of powdered coffee. Each individual tube is for one cup, so none are open. This was a gift from my student. My mom and I tried it. It's not bad. It has a mild flavour, but has a creamer and sweetener in it. It's kind of a treat drink. I'm a black coffee drinker, so I wasn't in love with it, but the taste is pretty good. The creamer/sweetener are mild and don't taste super artificial. Please contact me if interested.

Free: large plastic jugs. Good handles (Bloorcourt Village) Gifted - These were for kimchi. I use them to get food from the bulk store. They are amazing for shopping (super light weight with convenient handles) and also easy to organize on a shelf, but we eat a lot of kimchi, and don't need an endless supply of large storage containers for buying food from the bulk store. Also good for taking water to a picnic, maybe craft storage purposes ect. The second picture is to reference size (fairly large - 4 litres) and to see the convenient handle. porch pick up

Free: remote monster truck (Bloorcourt Village) Gifted - This was for my nephew when he visited, but I guess he didn't like it, so my mom doesn't want to keep it for the next time. She says it still works, but she lost the charger. It looks like the truck uses a standard usb charger and the remote uses batteries. I didn't have time to match it up, so I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure you could get it going quite easily with a usb charger.

Free: electric kettle, functional (Bloorcourt Village) Gifted - Silver, black & Decker. The latch to the lid on this kettle is broken, so it doesn't pop up and down like it's designed to do, but the electronics still work. My mom's partner bought a new kettle to replace it without asking her. When she told me about it I offered to post it on trash nothing. It's a high quality kettle, currently still functional and the latch part can probably fixed. I already have a kettle, or I would have taken it.

Free: broken kettle (could be repaired) (Bloorcourt Village) Expired - The very bottom of this beautiful kenwood kettle sadly melted. It's a part that we could find online, but no longer could be ordered. Here's a link to the part. If you are more saavy with ordering parts OR electronics, you could find this part or an alternative part that is available and bring this kettle back to life. It's a very solid piece of electronics. porch pick up.

Free: working, but old monitor (Bloorcourt Village) Expired - This is an old but functioning monitor. We have been able to make this work with newer technology without a problem through adapters, but were recently gifted a newer monitor. Porch pick-up.

Free: stuffing, wood, strapping (Bloorcourt Village) Expired - Parts of a large couch. We took apart a large couch because we couldn't find anyone who wanted it. There are a lot of good things inside it that could be picked up from our porch before garbage day on Thursday. There is some solid wood and some particle board. The couch is large so some pieces are quite long. If you want to use it you need to have tools to remove staples. There is one bag of stuffing (could be used for stuffed toys ect.) and three more backs of the full cushions with stuffing and beige material. There's also some wide black strapping, shown on top of the back in the third photo. Please contact me if you want any or all of these things before Thursday, July 6. Hope some of these things can have new life.

Free: old wand mixer (Bloorcourt Village) Expired - Not functioning well. The motor works, but the the little spinner in the second picture keeps coming detached from the rod that spins it. I think it's a fairly easy fix, but I don't have time to fix it myself. It works if you continually shove the little spinner back onto the rod, but I would recommend it to someone who actually wants to fix it because it's really annoying to use like this. Hope to find that someone:)

Request: used paper (Bloorcourt Village) Expired - I want to use as bedding for pet mice. I can shred if it's not already shredded. Paper from your office or whatever is good.
Free: bubble bath and skin cleanser (Bloorcourt Village) Expired - Like new, unused. These were both gifts (I'm a teacher so sometimes get small gifts I can't use). The skin cleanser looks high quality. The bubble bath is just life brand. I like the smell of both. They are both subtle and sweet, but I don't take baths or wear makeup. Other than me stupidly opening them to smell them, they are unused. Looking for the right home:)
