Gifted with Love
At Bibevie, we’re committed to building a better future for your baby.
Our Gifted with Love scheme diverts used baby clothing from landfill and distributes essential items to vulnerable families, struggling to meet the costs of clothing a young family.
There are many ways to ethically dispose of unwanted baby clothes. Many of us pass them to family and friends, resell them on Facebook groups or donate them to charity.
If none of those options work for you, our donation scheme offers a free and easy option for busy parents to clear out their surplus Bibevie clothing for a great cause. Simply:
- Wash and dry your donation and securely package it. Write your email address on a piece of paper and pop it in the parcel.
- Email info@bibevie.com to request a free returns label.
- Post your parcel at any UK post office.
- We’ll distribute your donation to one of the UK’s 100 local baby banks.
All we ask is that you give only as you’d be happy to receive, ensuring that families in need receive only freshly washed garments, with no large stains or holes.
As a thank you from Bibevie, we’ll offer a 10% discount on your next purchase with us. You’ll be emailed a discount code on receipt of your parcel (if this doesn’t arrive, please contact customer services on info@bibevie.com)
What is a baby bank (and who do they help?)
Baby banks are a critical part of today’s society.
There are over 100 banks, spread across the UK. Between them in 2017, they helped over 35,000 families meet the spiralling costs of bringing up baby.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation calculated that more than a third of babies in the UK are living below the poverty line.
Every donation of clothing, however small, will help a family in need.
With our Gifted with Love scheme, it couldn’t be easier to show kindness to another family.
Together, we can build a better world for babies across the UK.

Update from June 2021: we got it wrong. Our Gifted with Love tags (as pictured above) all talk about showing kindness to another Mum and baby, and being a "busy mum". That's not very inclusive or kind, is it! Families come in all shapes and sizes and we want to celebrate that. We're not going to reprint the labels, for environmental reasons, but rest assured they will be changed when we next print. I'm really sorry for getting this wrong.
