So, I was cleaning up the house the other day, and as usual, come across random things that have been shoved in a shelf, cabinet, or closet. Random things like spools of crinkly ribbon that is used for gift packages (I have no clue why I bought 3 rolls of the same color) and random packs of tiny dry erase markers that I bought for about $5. They are items that get moved around all over the place because they don't really have a home.
Someone on a website I follow recommended that if you have random things that you don't use and they don't have a home to get rid of them if they can be replaced in 20 minutes for under $20. I think this is a great idea for those random things.
So, as I looked at my spools of ribbon and dry erase markers, I decided that they didn't really bring me joy (so I should get rid of them anyways), but sometimes it's even hard to justify that. So, I decided that since these items could be replaced in 20 minutes (I could go to Wal-Mart) for under $20, that they were not worth hanging on to, especially since I didn't know when or where I bought them.
If you are not ready to full-on declutter, but have random things that don't have a home, this is an AWESOME way to get a little jump start.
Happy decluttering!
