My oldest son had so many Lego sets. When he moved into his own place, I had the same dilemma as you. Ultimately, I ended up posting the sets on Facebook for friends and family to take. People were so excited to get them. My son spent an afternoon taking sets apart and pairing them with the instructions. He actually enjoyed doing this and reminiscing. I made the stipulation that anyone wanting a set had to come to my house to pick it up. I had no intentions of driving around and dropping them off. I received several messages with photos from thrilled children and grandchildren with their completed sets. It made both my son and me so happy to see the Legos bring joy to someone else.

My aunt buys at thrift stores, when she's tired of it, she donates it back and buys new stuff. For $5-$15... she has nice clothes that everyone compliments her on, she always looks good... but she does it as an environmental issue, landfill from clothing is a terrible problem and huge waste!!

We should really all just buy clothes in thrift stores (no matter what our financial situation is). 190,000 items of clothing are produced each minute which is just crazy. Always buying new clothes is quite a waste of resources. Actually, there are already enough clothes to clothe the entire world population🤷

I totally agree - why on earth should you feel badly for donating? We have a local thrift shop that is the fundraising arm for a women's and children's shelter. The residents can use some of the items and the rest is sold at the store - the people are always so appreciative of anything we bring in. They are even happy to take any extra grocery shopping bags we end up with... I love bringing them things!

THANK YOU for saying you are NOT a minimalist! i have always decluttered and organized, but in the last couple years, the house has gotten away from me. add in menopause and new medication, huge size fluctuations in my weight- and well... here we are. a friend turned me on to decluttering/organizing videos. but.... most of them are also died in the wool minimalists. i have NO DESIRE to be a minimalist, BUT i do want to minimize my household inventory in that many things are no longer serving me or my family. the worst was paperwork. sorting and filing was way behind and a clutter disaster. its coming along. i give myself permission for breaks and overwhelm. i plan the next project. after it is all done, then the big cleaning begins. but im not looking at that with dread now that i have a plan. and NO minimalism. i LIKE clothes. i have to dress up for work. we have 4 actual seasons. so.... there you go. lol. then the next trick is to REALLY make careful decisions to buy or NOT. bc you want to maintain your good work. thanks :)

I had to move because of severe long Covid and had a whole year to declutter before moving. I was absolutely amazed what I could do in 5 minutes - especially paperwork. It guarantees that you only do it with a fresh mind so every minute is super efficient and there is not time for overwhelm. I am not a minimalist either 😊 and totally relate to minimizing my household inventory to meet me at where I am at in my current life.

If the apricot colored sweater is cotton, you can dye it, with Rit dye, in the washer. Add a cup of salt to set the dye. After you remove from washer, wash a load of dirty cleaning rags, with the comet & windex still sticking to the rags, to wipe out the dye residue, b4 washing anymore clothes. Only add a teaspoon for detergent to the dirty cleaning rags, or U will get overload of suds.

Hey Ali, I know it’s a sensitive subject, but it really depends on how you lost the weight. If you lost it by major lifestyle changes that you’re planning on sticking with then Declutter the bigger clothes. But if you lost the weight using a drug, or some other temporary measure, then keep the clothes, the reality of our bodies at our age is that weight goes up and down. There’s nothing wrong with keeping different sizes around. Gaining weight does not mean failing, it’s just the reality of life.

I've tried all the hangers. Started with the white plastic. Then thought that wood was the way to go and spent far too much $ on going all that. Still didn't like it. The wood takes up too much room and did not make the closet look any neater. Big disappointment. Finally...3rd hanger round...the velvet hangers! The only way to go. Wish I would have went with white or gray, but started with black and just kept adding.

Hey! We tried to sell Legos but couldn't so we donated to the Ronald Macdonald house.you know that since u lost weight u would buy new ones bc it would b a different style u like. Right?. Now for returning items out of sight out of mind. Leave returning items where they r on the floor by ur bedroom door so u can see them. You'll b mad & go do returns

Donate. I just to a donate bag of clothes in. Most were new with tags that I haven't worn in a year and work just decided new uniform is black polos. Ugh. More to go now. How do you style black pants and black polos when everyone else is in colorful scrubs. Nice thing is though, my wardrobe just completely simplified.

The "IT" colors for this Fall are Maroon & Concrete Gray. Burgundy or Red can sub for Maroon. Vests, cardigans, full skirts, pleated plaid, wool skirts, long blazers, silk scarves, natural colored, animal prints, brooches, chunky chain jewelry, & earrings, piled on jewelry, vintage brown mink or faux fur, leather, Denim on Denim, denim skirts, trench coats, fringe, bows, are all the rage, so don't toss those, but ripped jeans & skinny jeans are out of style.

Great to see you back! Personally, I would donate the legos. If you were on your payroll, how much would it cost to pay you to sort and sell the legos? I don’t think you would come out better. Give yourself an hourly rate in your head and if the time it takes isn’t profitable, donate 😊 Oh, and your hair looks amazing!

Legos are expensive, but the money was spent and they were enjoyed. Let the Legos go to a child who otherwise may not be able to afford such a toy. As for the prom dress, our local high school accepts used prom dresses and offers them to young ladies who cannot afford such an expense. Don’t worry about recovering your spent money but think of ways to help another child. Pay it forward. 😊

@@KB--- I am a volunteer in a donation centre. We are so discouraged at times, we feel overwhelmed, we recieve hundreds of bags and boxes every week. As you say, people consider us as a dumping ground, you can't even imagine the state of the clothes we recieve, and 70 to 80% of what we get is unsellable. We give that stuff to another association which will sort it out and then what's left is shipped to Africa....more exactly to dumping grounds there... So please, people, forget about fashion, fast fashion, ultra fast fashion and all that rubbish, buy quality pieces and keep them!!!
