This Valentine’s Day, The Salvation Army gives
your ex’s gifts a second chance to spread love.
Donated
Dumped stuffed animals are transformed into blankets and pillows for those in need.
In Latin America, moms say, "You throw out the boyfriend, not the gifts."
But after a bad breakup, we just want to ditch it all. The teddy bear? Gone. The Insta pics? Deleted.
But what if those "throwaway" gifts could get a second chance? Exes might beg, but maybe the gifts deserve it.
In my mind, and probably everyone else’s, Valentine’s Day = gifts.
But the reality? Too many gifts go to waste, forgotten or thrown away after a few weeks.
This V-Day, forget the flowers that wilt or chocolates you’ll eat in one sitting. We’re doing things a little bit differently this time.
Instead of buying gifts that just collect dust, we’re giving your old stuffed animals and teddy bears a second chance.
They’ll be turned into cozy blankets and pillows for those who need them most.
Dump your old gifts in donation bins (aka giant cool trash cans) at high-traffic malls in New York and Miami.
Scan the QR code and track your donation in real-time (Yup, just like a delivery app).
Let’s make this Valentine’s Day about giving back, not just getting.
Who knew discarding your old gifts could be the real act of love? Time to give it a Second Chance, Teddy.
