Cirqles

Searching and browsing Cirqles is as easy as online retail, but rather than coming in boxes with excess plastic packaging, Cirqles comes with real-life connection and community. Looking for new books for your kids? Turns out that friend you've been meaning to catch up with anyway would be happy to grab coffee and to bring a set of tried-and-true favorites they're ready to pass along. Something in your home needs fixing? No need to buy (and then find space to store) a whole new tool set: your neighbor is happy to lend your theirs (and maybe even to share some real-life pointers too)!

Cirqles lets you share items with their friends and family, schools, sports teams, religious groups and other Cirqles. But Cirqles also lets you track items you already own as well as items you receive through the Cirqles platform so that you can shop their own closets and avoid waste of buying the same items twice (or more!) because you forgot you already have that item. For parents with multiple kids managing which clothes, gear, and toys that are appropriate for different ages, Cirqles eases the mental load of tracking which items a family already has. And then, when you're done with an item, you can let any or all of your Cirqles know that you're ready to pass the item on with just a click.

Sharing is easier with the social circles you already move in, and joining Cirqles is by invitation only to help keep trust levels high.
