21 ITEMS TO DECLUTTER FOR A CLUTTER FREE HOME| MINIMALISM

[@married40years53]

I would also like to add that I absolutely love your videos. You are the happiest decluttering, minimalist I have ever watched on KZbin. You are truly beautiful inside and out!

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

You're the sweetest! Thank you!

[@michellebiggerstaff6841]

There is a lady I used to work with. She would put scriptures on the back of puzzle pieces, who needed a "pick me up." Plus, it let us know that we were a piece of the bigger piece. So endearing.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Wow I LOVE THIS!

[@alexandraawww]

As much as love decluttering, I would love to see more ways to do so mindfully and sustainably. Most of the time, donating things usually will find themselves in landfills if you’re dropping it off at a thrift store. There are so many ways to repurpose things and give them places they can possibly do so! Would love to see more resources like that mentioned here.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Yes, facebook market place, women's and animal sheltered (for certain items), garage sales, neighborhood swaps

[@BellaEssentialLiving]

I take the manuals and put them in a gallon bag and tape them to the back or side of the large appliance. Then I have the information right there and if I need more, then youtube videos.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

That's a great idea!

[@angelasagenda]

I’ve done that for years. It’s appreciated when reselling a gently used appliances.

[@tpv1520]

I finally got my husband to buy new pillows, he loved his pillows but they were so stained and nasty! Now when he makes our bed, our bed looks so luxurious with our fluffy pillows!

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Pillows make ALL the difference! Glad he is on board!

[@married40years53]

I do not think it is fair to give away a game, a toy or a stuffed lovey that is in any way damaged, missing a piece, or even slightly grungy looking. When I donate items they need to be as perfect as possible. If I wouldn’t put it in my home or give it to my child I will not donate it. 😊

[@The_Beach_Lady]

I agree

[@adelest9500]

I think it's fair as long as you give it away personally (not just pass it on some charity to deal with it) and make sure that person taking it knows the condition of the item.

[@punkinpie27]

I used to think the same way, but I discovered that my area thrift stores actually recycle damaged clothing, including shoes. Check with your local centres and recycling recommendations. Donating them may actually keep them out of the landfill.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Some people here have said that people love using puzzles for craft projects....so maybe write "missing pieces" on the box and see if any neighbors want it!

[@The_Beach_Lady]

@@FancyThatwithCandice that’s a great idea!! Thank you 😊

[@mbrady199]

These lists are always so obvious. Throw away that empty chapstick tube. Like, duh. Tell me to get rid of my cheap body spray & wear my nice perfume. Tell me I don't read physical books anymore so I need to get rid of them even if they are autographed. Tell me, it's ok to get rid of things that were gifted to me without feeling guilty. And girl, you can get rid of those black trousers that you "might" need "someday" but haven't worn in 2 years. And boxes - if there's nothing in the box, I don't need a box of boxes. Ok, I'm going to go declutter now. 💛

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

See my coment!

[@adventuresinorganizing5773]

All those things...you may get rid of. I have only bought one book in about 10, download both audio and ebooks for free, BookBub also has some free ebooks. Gifts were (hopefully never) given to be a burden, pass those babies along @MistyB

[@cheekykitten25]

Gosh I love a good declutter. I just did my daughters room (againnnn) and we managed to find a whole bin bag to get rid of. Books, paper, old pens and pencils, just stuff not needed anymore. Love it ☺️☺️😊😊

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

That is awesome!

[@sharonthibault8153]

Velvet hangers at the best! My kids do use plastic though as they sometimes break their hangers and the velvet ones break more easily and are more expensive than the plastic ones on use for them that are thin and flexible.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Yes, my kids have the smaller plastic ones, too!

[@cocomoco39726]

I just got a kitchen aide mixer for Christmas and it only came with one set of beaters! You said that and I was like Whaaaaaat!?!?!? Lol. Your videos always get me thinking and motivated! I love them!

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Do you love it?! I spent years dreaming of a kitchen aid! :) And I'm glad you enjoy my videos!

[@junehotpink]

We always use our manuals. There have been times our power or internet was not working and needed the paper manual. And we like to resale of stuff and it’s nice to sent that with the product

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@Antistylestyleclub]

The pillow-story was definitely relatable! It is weird that we replace some items without thinking and without a need, and are reluctant to replace something that actually is used plenty.

[@adelest9500]

I also have a horrible pillow that gives me neck pains. But I'm scared to replace it because what if the new one is just as bad and then I wasted money... :(

[@micheledryden1057]

Adele, try using the pillow without taking the outer cover off and in a pillowcase. If it works great then keep it. If not, exchange it until you find the right one.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

It's been so nice to justify investing in some nicer items like pillows and hangers since I'm not spending money on useless nicknacks anymore!

[@TR1CHcreates]

I would donate the board game with a label on it explaining the missing pieces so that it's clear it's not complete. I might consider putting it up for free on Facebook Marketplace or other group.

[@micheledryden1057]

Thanks for keeping it real and entertaining. It's embarrassing to get rid of things you bought in an impulse moment. It's challenging to let go of things you've been given, especially if the givers have passed away.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Definitely tough....If you really love it, I see no harm in keeping it!! I'd say, just make sure it's out for you to look at/enjoy!

[@sunnyhansen207]

An idea for almost burned out nice smelling candles is to put it in the freezer. Let the wax get very hard, then take a knife and crack the wax and put the left over wax pieces in a wax melter and enjoy the nice fragrance a bit more.

[@Stormy_Dawn]

For games with missing pieces I post it on my fb pay it forward site & show what pieces we have & clearly state what's missing. You'd be surprised how many people jump on those games!

[@theresarockford8888]

You can take can the candles that are done with little bits here and there and put them in boiling water for a few minutes till the wax melts and then put all then wax in one container with the largest wick and you have another candle to burn.

[@lindamcteer]

I donated a game once, and I taped a big note on the front in capital letters "MISSING PIECES". Hopefully, someone wanted it for replacing missing pieces in their game.

[@adelest9500]

honestly, I have some games that were missing pieces but we DYI-ed those pieces to keep playing it so that's also an option. Of course, it's only for the games you really love and play often, otherwise it's not worth it.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Great idea!

[@rosellavalela4237]

Love the shirt !!! Also great tips!!

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Glad you liked it!!

[@whatwouldpicarddomakeitso9607]

Thank you for sharing .you have given me some ideas as me and my sister are challenging each other to purge each day for February , I’m not sure of the challenge name but it’s the day one .. one item , day two ,two items etc . And we send each other a picture each day of the items but also it’s a way of seeing if we want to swap anything .💛

[@Coolbabka1994]

I’m 50 seconds into video and I’m like: YEEEEES !!! When we got married I bought pillows from Walmart for $3 each with intension that we will replace them soon for better ones! Well, 4 years later we still had them 😂 Finally last month we bought pillows from Costco! I’m so happy and I sleep better now! Why did we wait so long ?! 🙈

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Replacing pillows makes ALL the difference!

[@brenda_palmer2]

You wear a red lip so beautifully. But I see your subbies (including me) ask what they are ie...color name brand etc but never see the answers. Please share your red lip color. 💋❤️

[@debbieallen491]

Throw games missing pieces away. I am great at purging, but how can I convince my husband to get rid of stuff? He has books, books, books that he will never read again, and clothes he hasn’t worn in years, but won’t part with them! Help!

[@mbrady199]

Books are doorways to other worlds. They're trophies. They're accomplishments. They're very hard to part with.

[@mbrady199]

My husband's clothes, I didn't get rid of them initially but the ones he wasn't wearing I put in a tote in the garage & 6 months later when he and I were decluttering the garage he let go of all of them because he realized he didn't even know they were missing.

[@kellyfoster6843]

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Maybe he would be willing to put them in a box and write a date on it it, "if not opened by _____ (date) DONATE" Maybe worth a try!

[@lecharreview7611]

I would donate games and puzzles with missing pieces and note that they are missing pieces. Puzzles with missing pieces are perfect for crafts (you can repaint them and make a cute wreath like Woman's Day has on the front cover of their Feb 2021 issue), and games with only partial pieces can be sanitizes and used to make a cute themed cake for a kid's game themed birthday party or to make cute art for a family/game room.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

wow such great ideas!!!

[@katieparker2502]

You can post on Facebook that you have game pieces for board games and some people will use it. And puzzle pieces for a incomplete puzzle can be great in crafts

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

I absolutely love this idea!!

This isn't a video on things to declutter, it is a video on things to replace.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Ha you're kind of right, though!!! :)

[@darbytims5968]

To me, it not decluttering if you just replace it with something new. At that point, its just replacing something old and worn out.

[@FancyThatwithCandice]

Ahh I see your point!! This is totally true!! In some cases, like with the hangers, I would absolutely replace them since the wire ones can ruin clothes. But with other things, like the mugs, I wouldn't replace them at all!! Just depends!

[@Stormy_Dawn]

I call it upgrading. :) When we upgrade we are less likely to buy a lot of low quality items but rather 1 item that is high quality...which reduces clutter.

[@mamallamaandthelittles]

A caller to the minimalists podcast had the same remarks and it hit home for me because I also can de clutter and donate with ease the problem lies with consumerism, that my friend is harder for me!

[@angelasagenda]

I only keep the bare minimum styling tools. And I replace them every year

[@dominiquehazzard5925]

actually there are people who use metal hanger for craft and games part. I would suggest to try to give them away on a local craft group. someone junk is someone else treasure, check upcycled games pieces
