Do you love to sew/knit/crochet? I shop at thrift stores frequently and I am always amazed at how much I see with store tags still on the product. Many stores will at least give you a store credit if you don’t have your receipt. And a friend of mine sells her homemade Christmas candy this time of year.

This will also reinforce on your memory where you have stored your things. Shared memory exists between you as to where that electric screwdriver or sewing case is stored.
