Ok, so it's more facebook page and less blog, but free is good -- not even too good to be true this time -- and good, free, local stuff makes us happy.

The "gifting" facebook group is a collection of downtowners who have things to give away.

Given: you have to be a member of the group and in exchange for your items, you can only expect brownie points.

Just a selection of what's up for grabs right now: a dresser, vertical blinds, baby clothes, gallons of paint and two arm bands (thanks Tyler Hurst).

The group is planning a meetup/potluck/swap fest for Aug. 26. For updates, more information and access to a boatload of some seriously free downtown goodies, check out the phx SHARE facebook page.
