Moving clear out !

Samineh from Birkenhead

Hello community. I'm moving house and have a lot of stuff to clear out. The move has cost a lot so unfortunately can't give away free right now. I usually do donations to shops.
But these things are all excellent condition, some not even used, and good quality brands.

Women's Clothes size small or xs .

Girls clothes sizes 5-7

boys clothes infant and 1.

But I need them gone fast so if you want a good deal for nice clothing from good shops like seed , Zara and so on, also there's lots of kids toys and activities.

please drop a comment in this thread if you're interested and I'll dm you and you can come view.

In Birkenhead
Thank you 😊
