Free Children and Baby Stuff in Korea

Updated 25 November 2015

Check out my newest article on how to get free stuff!

Because Korea has such a transient community and kids grow out of clothes and toys so quickly, it's fairly easy to find cheap or even free items. I am all about getting hand-me-downs or stuff for free. It keeps things out of landfills and teaches children that they don't need to buy stuff all the time.
