3. Rehash
Rehash is a swap site that helps you swap your unwanted clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and even makeup. The site is free to use and you don’t have to pay any fees. However, you will have to pay for your own shipping. Instead throwing away those jeans you don’t fit into anymore, or that “what the hell is this” blouse, you can exchange them for something you actually like. Simply add your item(s), describe them and wait for offers.
4. Coupons
Looking for some coupons? Lucky for you, Coupons site has hundreds of them for grocery, household, and personal care items. All you have to do is “click, print and save!” People usually do not understand and do not value the amazing power of coupons.

5. Calmsound
Calmsound is a website that offers calming nature sounds and videos for free. They call themselves “An Oasis of Relaxation.” Next time you need to get away from your problems or simply calm yourself down while laying in bed, listen to their collection of sounds of rain, waterfall, ocean, country garden, and more.

6. Learning Games for Kids
Learning Games for Kids is exactly what the title says – a site that offers a huge collection of games and activities for preschool and elementary school children. These games will amuse your children, but also help them build skills in areas like math, language arts, science, or even social studies. Talk about learning being fun…
7. Swagbucks
Swagbucks is like Santa for adults. They will give you free gift cards after you earn enough ‘Swag Codes’. To earn these points you don’t have to do anything extraordinary. Simply watch a video, play a certain game, or take a survey. The more time you spend doing these activities, the faster you will earn your points. The truth is, some tasks may be tedious but they are worth more points than those short tasks. For example, a 15-minute survey will earn you more points than a 30-second video. Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? And what can you get after you earn enough of these ‘Swag Codes’? Well, as we stated before, you will get gift cards. For example, 500 points will get you a $5.00 Amazon gift card.
