Should I ask my neighbor if she wants these extra baby toys?

I had a yard sale last year and one of my neighbors came over and bought a bunch of stuff for her grand children. She bought a stroller, carset, shoes, and alot of kids clothing. I now have alot of extra baby toys that my daughter doesn't play with anymore. They are all nice toys, clean and have not been played with much. Should I see if my neighbor wants them (for free) or just put them in the yard sale I am having later this year?

Sure, I'm sure she'd love them!
Reply:I would give the neighbor first choice on any of the toys. If you want to get rid of them now you could donate them to a preschool or church or put them on craigslist under free.
Reply:Yes thats a nice thing to do she can always say no thank you its always the thought that counts
Reply:Well, it's possible that her grandkids are the same age as your child and won't need them. However, there's no harm in asking her. If you want to make the money, stick them in the yard sale and if she tries to pay for them, don't take the money or take only half or something. That way you're making money and helping her out and if she wants them she can have them. If she tries to buy anything, then you can throw them in for free. Something like that.
Reply:Since she's a grandparent, she would probably love to have the extra toys at her house for her grandkids to play with when they come over to visit. Toys can be so expensive especially if they're only bought for grandma's house. I'm sure she would appreciate the gesture.
Reply:up to you if you feel generous ask she can take the ones she wants then you sell the rest


if not sell them all or you can donate them to a thrift store
Reply:Ask her...just bring it up in conversation that you have a bunch of toys...that are clean, would she like them for er grandchildren...chances are she will say yes.
Reply:It depends. If you really want the money for them, and you don't mind having the yard sale, then do that. If you just want to be nice and don't care about making money from them, and you want to get them out of your house now, then ask her if she's interested. It's really up to you.
Reply:Ask her if she would like them, not only is it a nice gesture but your strengthening you bond with your neighbor
Reply:I'd clear them out as soon as possible. Use the space for things you need.
Reply:Absolutely offer the toys to her.. give her the same reasons you just posted, and tell her that you thought of her and wanted her to have first pick. The worst that could happen is that she would decline the offer, and then you could still sell them at your yard sale.
Reply:I think that would be a great idea. Ask her not to be offended, but you would love her to have the toys that your child has out- grown She'll probably be very pleased. If she doesnt want them just sell them at your next yard sale.
Reply:Yes you should offer them to her. That would be a great gesture! I am sure that she would appreciate it greatly! Besides toys don't get much in yardsales usually anyhow. Good luck and have a great day!
Reply:Why not? Offer them to her. I know she would appreciate it as will her grandchildren. As a parent myself I can tell you that it's much easier when Nana has some toys there so we don't have to cart some there every time we visit!
Reply:well since, old grandmas are really really nice i would go offer them to her and see what she does.
Reply:Why dont you ask her if she wants any of them then sell what ever she didnt take in the yard sale.
Reply:well you paid for the toys right? so why not try to make some money from them first and if no one buys them then offer them to your neighbour.
Reply:I would just give them to her. She would truly love that and her grandkids when they come over would also enjoy them. Its always better to give than to receive.
Reply:If your neighbor is used to your kind gestures i think you offering the toys for free to her is cool, but if this is your first initiative i would take offense if i were grandma as i would believe you saw something on me that required you to show some charitable act, but then that's just me :D
