| Please share your suggestions for unconventional places to take donated items (for example, a local florist’s shop for empty flower vases). If you mention a specific business or organization, please include your city, state, province, region, and/or country in your answer. | 1.donating back gifts..I have been giving back gifts, given to me. After waiting a few months, I give back physical gifts, I cannot use (no extra space in a small home). After a few months of graciously accepting the gift, ., I apologize and explain, and ask them is it "ok" if I give it back. They always say yes, (unhappily at first), but later on tell me they gave it to someone who really wanted it. I only do this with family and close friends. 2. I upgraded some kitchenware to better materials... and that left me with a lot of plastics , ..etc. to get rid of. So I give these away to anyone with small children.; so these plastics, etc. could be played with in the sand, by the children in their sandboxes or at the beach. 3. I contacted our town high school music teacher and donated some professionally framed large jazz art posters , to the music department of our town high school. The band teacher hung them in the band room and music wing hallways to inspire the jazz music students. Since my children had played in the school's jazz band, it was so since to give back a little, for how much they had taught for my children. |
| Describe an activity or interest for which you acquire far more supplies or materials than you tend to use over a reasonable period of time. | Office supplies. I bought too many office supplies which did not work out for me. I am trying to use these up in other ways... as art supplies for my grandchildren' crafts. |
| Future topics | Decluttering to prepare for unexpected medical issues. It is so frustrating to deal with clutter, when suddenly you have to rely on a walker or a cane or your arm in a sling. I really hate the clutter at that point, as am so mad at myself, I did not get rid of the clutter earlier. But it motivates me to handle the clutter now. |
