The funny thing about BorrowMe is that there are as many different things to share, and ways to use it – as there are people.  I thought I would share some of my favorite ideas on how I BorrowMe, to inspire you to share yours.  I don’t always share everything with just anyone – but here are some thoughts:

  • Plug into your own young mom network to find everything you need for baby without buying new – and much of it for free!  We’re working to help support ‘Baby & Free’ Groups around the country to connect you up!
  • Share your National Park pass:  If you use one, they can costs over $100 per year.  We use ours just 2-3 times per season!
  • Magazine subscriptions:  I get a couple of specialty magazines that I’d be happy to lend to friends.  Especially over BorrowMe – because I know I’ll get them back!
  • Games, games, games! Whether you’ve got a Nintendo Wii, a PS3, XBox, or any game system – you have many games you don’t play, and those you’d love to try before you buy.  BorrowMe is perfect for that.
  • Lend or rent out your text books:  Text book clubs are an amazing opportunity for students.  I wrote an article about this idea here.
  • Creating community gardens:  Do you have a plot that others could use?  Put it on BorrowMe!  There’s another resource here.
  • Camping gear:  From walking poles to an 8-person tent – who really has 100% of everything they need?  If you do – maybe you could create a little ’social capital’ by lending it on BorrowMe.
  • A fantasy item: I have a Segway, paint ball guns and a rack for my SMART car on my WISH List.  I’m not sure I need them right now, but I’d love to know where I could get them when I do.  Besides, it would just be really, really fun to borrow a Segway some time!  What would you wish for?

These are just a few of my thoughts on the 1000 ways to BorrowMe.  What are yours?  Comment below, and share your idea.
