Old magazines ppl can borrow
Blow up mattresses (I have 5 and they are always out but not official gemach)
I also have 7 black velvet tablecloths...not official gemach but ppl always borrow

do you live in Lakewood?
If you don't there's a huge gemach list that might give you some ideas!!!
Even if you do, Lakewood now became so big that you might want to open a gemach that already exist but not in your neighborhood!

Spare diaper gemach? Someone just ran out of a size, or it's Shabbat and they can't go get -- so they can take a few from you. Gemach is restocked by donations of half-packages people outgrew

What can you offer? Time, money? I think we need more services for overwhelmed mothers for whatever reason.

Something I suggested already another time... Baby bottle gemach for people to try a variety, which their baby likes best, then return.
Waze devices gemach
I heard about how people offer to get a fridge and let people fill it for kimpeturins.

I had something like that but, people did not want bottles that some other baby used even if I sterilized it.

Jewish magazine gemach. There used to be one in Flatbush but they stopped it. People dropped off their magazines when they were done with them (mishpacha, ami, Binah ) and whoever wanted could come pick them up.
