Declutter some old packaging materials that you don’t think you are likely to use any time soon. Especially if they are taking up way too much space.

About Colleen MadsenWho is behind 365 Less Things?
My name is Colleen, I currently reside in Newcastle Australia. I am a forty something year old mother of two grown children and in my third decade of being wife to my darling hubby. I love traveling, art and craft, spending time with friends and family and volunteering my time to help others.
My parents taught me well to make, mend, mingle and manage so being frugal, friendly and fun loving would describe me fairly well. I can also be opinionated, outspoken and defensive at times but hey no one is perfect. I look forward to getting to know you as well so join our friendly community here at 365 Less Things where we, that is Cindy, the readers and myself, share opinions, advice and lots of friendly encouragement.

If you have a freecycle or craigslist nearby, I’ve had really good luck giving away packing material. Air pillows, styrofoam bits, bubble wrap are all popular. Boxes sometimes take a bit longer but usually go. Paper wrapping isn’t easy to give away, unless it goes with moving sized boxes–moving boxes are their own category.
I am working on this regularly by sending care packages to our married daughter. It seems there is nearly always something a bit fragile in the box. The universe, however, sees fit to regularly re-gift me with packaging materials LOL
