Facebook Groups – Swap and sell fancy dress costumes
There are plenty of groups where you can buy and sell baby and toddler essentials. And given the number of dress-up days schools have, fancy dress costumes are an essential part of every child’s wardrobe! You may occasionally also find some items on Carousell or AsiaXpat, but not with the same frequency as on Facebook groups. Do also keep an eye out on mama-chat groups, district-based Facebook groups, etc.
- Dress up! – This is a private group created specifically to swap, sell and buy children’s costumes. See the Dress Up! Facebook page here.
- Baby Swap-it – The well-known preloved second-hand baby goods site in Hong Kong. See the Baby Swap-it Facebook page here.
