I always make it a goal before and after Christmas to clean out our closets. Getting gifts that have no home or room in your house is overwhelming. I start with clothing and move on to each room in the house.
Pay attention to those shirts you just have not worn. If you find yourself saying "well I might wear it" then that is a red flag to get rid of it! Any kids jeans that are floods or tight need to go as well, unless you are saving them for a younger child. Also if you did not wear it last season the it may be a good idea to get rid of it as well! A handy tip is at the start of each new season turn all your hangers backwards. At the end of the season if it is still backwards then get rid of that item.
As you move on to each room of your house follow the same rules. Remember there is no need to keep items that just have no use. They often get in the way of the items you are searching for. A cute tip for household items is if it is stashed in a dark scary corner gathering years of dust then get rid of it!
Now what to do with all these items? I like to offer them first to friends and family. Just send out an email to those loved ones letting them know that first to respond can have the item. But I also let everyone know in the email that a donation center will be piking these items up at a designated time. This way you wont be stuck with an item for ages waiting for that individual to find the time to pick it up.
Another option is to sell your items on EBay if you need money to replace items such as clothing for children. This is a very easy and cost effective way to go towards a shopping trip for new clothing on a budget.
Hope you enjoyed my simple encouragement to clean those closets! Happy New Year! desiredsimplicity.etsy.com
