YES! Get those kiddos down with the sharing economy! If you were anything like me as a kid, I often had more fun playing in the box, than with the actual toy... Whirli aims to reduce waste and save parent's money while teaching kids about sharing toys with others!
This is such an awesome idea, it means less toys in landfills, less money spent and kids are less likely to develop a posessive hoarder-y relationship with material objects. Killer idea to gift to a family for Shristmas instead of more STUFF.

This might literally be my most favourite hunt of all time... it'll transform the way people look at possessions.. from 'this is my thing' to 'this thing provides an experience and if I look after it someone else can have that experience too'.
Great hunt @dayleeo! This hunt has been verified and approved by the Steemhunt Moderation Team. Great job! Happy hunting.

yay! thanks so much dude! I think parents could make this so special, and the company could make it really awesome by having tracking on each toy to show kids where it's been and who got it next, so you could watch these things go all around the country, instead of it just being "NEW TOY FOR ME" time.
Maybe it could be blockchain powered, maybeeee most things should be? lol
Brilliant hunt @dayleeo! The amount of things people buy/own/discard really needs to come down. This sharing idea for consumer goods is great.
thanks so much @karamyog !
I love this idea! Companies market to children directly to always make them want more toys but that's not practical for every parent. It costs a lot to keep up with plus if you keep all those toys it's not hard to run out of space. This system lets forgotten toys have a new life AND it teaches a little more responsibility because kids need to make sure the toys aren't destroyed if they're going to be passed on to someone else. I really, really hope this catches on.
me too! it could be really great @elementm !
Whirli is a great way to share toys and teach toys for kids. Through this, you can enjoy your children's cool and happy. Good Hunter.
thanks @monirrohan !
Wow this thing is so amazing !!!!
It can not only teach kids about the saving of money but also the fun of sharing thing.
Amazing hunt!
thanks so much @learnandgrow !
Reducing waste and saving parents' money, agree with that, kiddos prioritize satisfaction want to have without caring about other things, and Whirli can be a good solution, coolhunting @dayleeo
thanks @olgiz247 !
Wuao incredible idea, here in my country foundations for the collection of toys for the home, for children who do not have the resources to acquire a toy, this is the best way, does a social work and receives a smile from a child, in addition to Save money, space, and raise awareness of your child's sharing. Amazing your friend hunting. Congratulations.
yes! i think kids would love to know where their toys came from and where their new homes would be- you could incorporate a whole penpal element to it too @lobinia
I checked Whirli's Official Page and also read the benefits and it is a great idea to subscibe it. I would do it as well if I had a kid. Perfect hunt for kids and their parents. Congratulations.
thanks so much @loellat !
Anything which promotes swapping, rather than shopping is good for me.
We have a five year old, who isn't particularly spoiled, but she does have lots of toys - many of which she's very rarely played with. They'd be perfect to swap, because they've not had much use, and could be swapped for the other "nonsense" things she's seduced by in adverts.
The only issue I'd have is in the quality, and how "played with" items are. I'd like to think that we'd only swap toys which were still in excellent condition, but that's not necessarily how others would look at it.
thanks for your comment @schminimal ! maybe parents should get together and put their own decentralized version of this, who needs a subscription service! good point about the quality and the cleanliness for that matter
This concept is amazing. I really hope this can make a difference in changing the materialistic culture. It's also very practical, children always want the newest thing and this way there isn't the amount of waste coming from unused toys.
awesome comment @nortjenn thank you!
