Advice sought and Progress made

So I am decluttering apace but things are slowing down now I've got packed up a lot of the 'obvious' things to go, I am, however, left with piles of things that still need to be sorted and things that currently have no home.
My problem at the moment is this - I have things that 'should' go, things I don't use, things I don't really need, but I can't just throw them out/recycle them/give them away because I feel guilty. I feel bad about getting rid of things that I received as presents or bought as presents but then didn't need, getting rid of books that I haven't read, even when I'm not thinking 'oooh I wish I had enough time to read that' (there are plenty that do fall into that category and I'm not worried about not getting rid of those, after all I'm decluttering not actually completely emptying my home), some that I have no interest in ever reading, bits of jewellery (the accessory type - not the valuable type) and just loads of other things - clutter.
Does anyone else get to a point where they think I've got rid of a lot and I 'shouldn't' just keep getting rid of things that I haven't 'used up'? If so, how do you get past that?
( In other news I have achieved the following :- )
