Shop garage sales and thrift stores and estate sales. Christmas decorations, wrap, bows and ribbon all are continuous offerings at pretty much every garage sale, thrift store or estate sale I’ve ever shopped. Shop the after Christmas sales. I do use regular wrapping paper and tags, if I can get them on sale.

Store socks in the sock drawer, cutting knives in the knife holder, screwdrivers in their storage can (make one by cutting cardboard to the length of a coffee can, then spiraling it inside the can) and so on and so forth. I carried this idea to our garage. Clean storage areas at least every couple of years and de-clutter as you do.

Have a big box ready to take the throw-away items and another for anything that is good enough to go to the local thrift store. What about the old refrigerator in the garage you only use when you have a party? We have ‘good’ stuff for special occasions; why keep them just for special occasions and then have to worry about storage?
