You can almost smell the crisp fall air and feel that welcome chill. Time to get your family ready for winter fun!

Free: Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 Car Seats (Hawthorne/Near east side) Gifted Two Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 car seats with original infant accessories and manuals (see pics). These seats can be used for little ones from 5 to 100 lbs; they go from rear facing to forward facing to booster. These car seats were made in 2018 and 2021, respectively. As a fellow parent, I guarantee that they are NOT expired (good for 10 years; check Graco’s website) and have NEVER been in an accident. I can leave out for porch pickup or meet you somewhere to drop off. I would love for these to be put to good use rather than just tossed into the landfill. Alternatively, you can recycle them at Target’s next car seat recycling event (April 2025) and get coupons for free baby/toddler gear.

Request: 3T/4T overalls, yellow shirt, hat (Hawthorne/Near east side) Expired Putting together a minion costume for a 3-year-old. Looking for denim overalls, yellow shirt, and yellow winter hat. A pair of 3T or 4T blue denim overalls would be ideal, long or short pants. Small tears, light stains, and/or worn out knees are all okay! I can clean, patch, or whatever. Also looking for a 3T or 4T yellow t-shirt, preferably long-sleeve but would happily take short-sleeve too. Bright sunny yellow is better, but if you have gold or mustard yellow, that would work. If there are stains on the middle front or back of the shirt, that's fine since those areas will be covered by the overalls. I can work with other stains too if they're not terrible. Finally, also looking for a yellow winter hat; bright yellow preferred but happy to take what you've got. If it's got a fabric logo or patch, I can take that off. Thanks in advance for looking!
