Hi Freecycling fans:
Sunday is Father’s Day!
Make this one a…
‘BUY NOTHING’ Father’s Day
Here are some gifting ideas from Eric ‘Gub” Snyder that you
can use.
NO MONEY REQUIRED — not one solitary cent!
KIDS:
As a gift to Dad, tell him about FullCircles. Show him how it
can make his life simpler, easier, and less cluttered. Then, lead
the way! Declutter your room. Ask Dad to give you a hand
to ‘gift’ your surplus”stuff on FullCircles. He’ll be tickled pink with
this Father’s Day gift.
Also you can search the archives for the perfect Father’s day
gift for Dad… one that won’t break the piggybank 
eg. golf
magazines or fishing rod. And, he’ll appreciate the effort and
the thoughtfulness.
DADS:
If you are a father, tell your children about FullCircles. Ask
them, as a little Father’s Day gift to you, to develop the habit of
regularly giving away all that stuff they are tired of that is just
multiplying in their rooms; starting TODAY! You’ll both be happier
to see all that unused stuff go! The kids will develop life-long giving
habits and awareness, and they won’t have to blow their entire
allowance on your Father’s Day gifts.
MOMS:
Hey, Moms, you too! How about promising Dad to help him
declutter that basement, garage, workshop! That’s a great
Father’s Day gift too!
Shop FullCircles! Find him find some shelves or bins on to
help him organize his stuff. Baby food jars make great jars
for holding screws etc.
FAMILIES:
If we pitch in together to reduce our ecological footprint, we
can help sustain “Mother [Father??] Earth” as a clean, simple,
wonderful place to live for many generations to come!
But, above all, have fun on Father’s Day…

“good luck to ‘em. I hope they have a wonderful day, and well done for trying to beat the system. Weddings are a total rip off that leave people in dire straits spending money they don’t have. Having a laugh with familes in a relaxed setting is all you really need. Wish I was going…”
