What was the best donation you have ever received?

Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

  • Coworker brought me an old Macintosh light he found in his attic.

    Turns out only a few thousand were made and its pretty awesome.

    • This site has the smell of the old internet, it was a real trip to read it. This sign really is a cool donation, I loved it. Do yours still works?

      • Yep, it's also that faded yellow of old computers. I've been thinking about trying the hydrogen peroxide trick to clean it up.

        • It still looks great! I don't think the yellowing of the plastic affects it that much, as it is just a base.
