unclutter | decluttering wrapping paper etc (Reply)

I hardly ever use wrapping paper any more, and had accidentally ended up with far too much (thought I had lots of regular paper but was out of Christmas, bought more Christmas, discovered that it was actually the other way around...). So I asked my friend who works at the local foodbank, and she says they have a "help yourself" table for things that they're not giving out but which people might still want, and I'm donating five rolls of Christmas paper to her for that. Probably also some gift bags, since I never use them.

I thought I'd mention it on here in case anyone else has too many gift supplies! Obviously they need to be as-new, good condition, etc. And foodbanks don't want lots of things sitting around, so it needs to be seasonally appropriate - this feels to me like a good time to be offering Christmas materials, but in January it'll just be clutter for them...

If you don't have any personal connections, in the UK The Trussell Trust have a website where you can find foodbanks local to you who might be willing to accept them.
