I am cleaning/depack-ratting my bedroom & I have3 big laundry bags full of my stuffed monkey/chimpanzees of all neon colors & Penguins of every size & Teddy Bears too. What do I do with them because I CANNOT throw them away! They are so nice! Any Ideas? Please dont say donate them at christmas, no one wants a used stuffed monkey for christmas.

take a nice group picture or even individuals if you want. Make an album or hang a huge poster size picture on your wall and then donat them to a womens shelter. When kids arrive they like toys to cuddle.

I know you said not to say donate them at Christmas. But I am going to any way. Donate them to the Battered Women's Shelter. Most of these women have children with them. During the Holidays a lot of domestic violence occurs due to all the Holiday drinking. These children are pulled from their homes and taken into hiding at Christmas with nothing but the clothes on their back. They would love to have a used stuffed monkey to cuddle during this sad and fearful time of their lives.

You can donate them, it is better than throwing them away, look for a church or charity that gives gifts to families that can't afford Christmas gifts , there are children that would really appreciate them...goodwill sells used stuffed animals all the time, but why not donate to the underprivileged?

If you have a extra room or large closet create a jungle for them
It might look silly but after 3 bags full of neon monkeys silly has long past

A child that is not going to get anything for christmas because his or her family is poor would love to have one of those stuffed animals. They won't care that it is used. I can't think of one other thing you can do with those stuffed animals other than donating them to Goodwill or some other charity.

a child who has nothing else would love a used stuffed monkey for christmas, maybe you don;t as you have so much but there are children who don't get anything. Give them to your local fire department who donate them to these charities.

You probably have a freecycle in your area just put on an ad to give them away to someone who wants them. Best of all they come to you. This is a free service and the only thing is that you have to give them away for free.

Donate them to the Goodwill or the Salvation Army or give them to children in your neighborhood or have a yard sale....
