A box for questionable things is useful! Mostly I throw out items which are NOT broken and can still be used, which are harder for me than the "I could still fix those" items. I found some places I can give those items too, which makes it a lot easier (because... they can still be used...), because it's fun to see other people enjoying items that you don't use yourself anymore.
In my bathroom I only really have 1 shelf (built-in), so there isn't any place for boxes. What do your bathroom boxes contain? If you haven't used them in 6 months (or have you been taking them out of the boxes?), is it extra bottles of shampoo etc? I keep those in a kitchen cabinet (because of the small bathroom).
I gave my printer to a friend, I hardly use it ^^; It was just standing there in on my desk taking up place. If I want to print something, I'll do that at university, in the office, or at my boyfriend's or my parents' printer. I also still have some collectibles (figurines) in boxes, but my motivation for cleaning up some shelves is to put them on those shelves! That, and a box full of books are my last boxes in my room (+ some bags left to do and a large pile of books I got from a friend that I want to read but am not going to keep). Though I also have my stuff still at my parents' to clean up, because when I move again I'll probably take my stuff out of their house and I don't want to move stuff I don't want to keep.
