Spring Cleaning? Here’s What We’re Parting With This Month

✔️ What’s leaving:

  • Building sets, dolls, and pretend play items
  • Educational toys and books
  • Unused or duplicate gifts

🎁 Pro Tip: List in small groups or themed bundles — they sell faster and ship easier.

3. Accessories and Gear We’ve Moved On From

Bags, lunchboxes, hats, and seasonal items seem to multiply in closets. We’re sorting through what’s still functional and in good shape — and giving them a second chance to be useful elsewhere.

✔️ What’s leaving:

  • Backpacks and totes
  • Hats, gloves, and scarves
  • Baby and toddler gear we’ve outgrown

🧠 Decluttering tip: If you haven’t used it in a year, let it go.

4. Books We’ve Read or Outgrown

We love books, but when the shelves are packed tight and the kids haven’t touched certain stories in months, it’s time to rotate. Plus, secondhand books are a huge win for homeschoolers, teachers, and thrifty readers.

✔️ What’s leaving:

  • Kids’ storybooks and early readers
  • Activity books and educational titles
  • Gently used adult fiction and self-help reads

📦 Book tip: Group by genre, age range, or author for better sales.

Why We’re Selling (Not Dumping)

Everything we’re parting with still has life left in it — and we believe in reusing, re-homing, and reducing waste. Spring cleaning isn’t just a chore. It’s a way to:

  • Give someone else a chance to enjoy these items
  • Cut back on unnecessary waste
  • Earn a little extra for the things we truly need next

Our eBay store is full of the treasures we’ve decided to share — and we take pride in making sure everything is clean, organized, and well-packaged for its next chapter.

Ready to Do Your Own Spring Cleaning?

Here are a few tips to make your clean-out successful:

  • Start small: one drawer, one bin, one shelf at a time
  • Use the “keep, donate, sell, toss” method
  • Be honest — if it doesn’t fit, suit your lifestyle, or bring joy, let it go
  • Wash and prep anything you plan to sell so it’s ready for a second life
