Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

    This site has the smell of the old internet, it was a real trip to read it. This sign really is a cool donation, I loved it. Do yours still works?

      Yep, it’s also that faded yellow of old computers. I’ve been thinking about trying the hydrogen peroxide trick to clean it up.

        It still looks great! I don’t think the yellowing of the plastic affects it that much, as it is just a base.
