After every holiday, I end up with a pile of items in the garage that were given with love, but I have no use for or room for.</li><li>What do you do with very personalized gifts you don't want to keep? They're too nice to throw away but it feels weird to donate.</li><li>How do I declutter items my son made as gifts for me that I no longer like. My son still lives with me, they are displayed in the living area and I don't want to hurt his feelings but would love to re-decorate this space.</li><li>What do I do when “gifts” (receiving &amp; giving) is the love language of everyone in my household?</li><li>I *tried* to do an alternative to gifts this year. Joke's on me, hubby still bought everyone gifts, kids still bought everyone gifts, apparently Mom is a Grinch trying to steal Christmas.</li><li>My mother in law knows how far we've come decluttering and simplifying and she knows I usually say no to most items she offers. What do I do with these highly sentimental gifts we never wanted?</li><li>I’m having a hard time getting rid of gifted Christmas ornaments — even when I know they haven’t made it on the tree in the past few years.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.aslobcomesclean.com/take\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Take Your House Back is on SALE!</a></p>","author_name":"Dana K.
