Small Things Count

After Christmas, as you put away decorations and new gifts, you may throw up your hands and cry, “I have too much stuff I don’t use!”  Here’s a solution: Host a Swap Party.  Pick a category (CDs, kitchen, garden, sports).  Invite friends to come swap items they don’t use for something they will use. You’ll enjoy food, drink, conversation, and some good laughs over the items and where or why you got them.  Even if you bring home more than you brought to the party, at least you’ll have “stuff” that you actually use–and the landfill won’t be burdened by your new “treasure.”
