"So when I receive something in the mail, no matter how thoughtful it is, it kinda sucks because now I have to figure out how to get rid of it. I feel really wasteful if I just throw it in the trash, so I have to figure out who to give it to. Then I feel bad for whoever spent a bunch of money and time to get and send me something." Hey Derek - you might find Yerdle a useful outlet for this stuff. It's not selling for USD (so you don't feel bad,) and it's not donation - you swap these things that you don't need for YRD (Yerdle Re-use Dollars) and if you ever do want something you redeem your YRD. Meanwhile, your unwanted gift goes to someone who actually wants it, and who either can't afford it, or has simply decided not to participate in a consumerist economy. The YRD they spend was earned through a similar give. On Yerdle, our community shops with what they already own, instead of creating more waste through more consumption. Anyway - way to commit to decluttering, and try that next time, see if it feels better...
