Poll: What do you do with your stuff when you get the urge to declutter?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.

Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.

Sometimes, that stuff is cozy and familiar. But other times, after a long day, you walk through the door, look around, and think: “Okay. Something’s got to go.”

And when that urge to declutter hits, the question is—where does it all go? We're not talking about broken bits and pieces, but those perfectly good things that simply no longer fit your life or your space.

In her piece When decluttering can’t be avoided much longer, Joanna Davis shares the everyday items she's finally ready to part with—and it might just inspire your own clear-out mission.

We want to know:
🧹 How often do you get the urge to declutter?
🎯 Are there certain things you’ve got your eye on to donate or rehome?
💛 Do you have any favourite charities, op-shops, or community organisations you support with your preloved items?

Let’s swap stories, share ideas, and help great stuff find a second life—outside our closets and shelves.

Tickets to Jenny Mitchell - 22nd August at the Tuning Fork

Andrew from Ellerslie

Hi all. We got a bit ahead of ourselves a couple of months ago & booked two tickets to see NZ's own Jenny Mitchell. Genre? I'd say a bit folk, a bit country, a bit Americana. Now can't go.
Google says this: Jenny Mitchell, is a storyteller from the deep south of New Zealand. … View more
Hi all. We got a bit ahead of ourselves a couple of months ago & booked two tickets to see NZ's own Jenny Mitchell. Genre? I'd say a bit folk, a bit country, a bit Americana. Now can't go.
Google says this: Jenny Mitchell, is a storyteller from the deep south of New Zealand. Now based in Melbourne, Jenny recently supported Kasey Chambers on a 32 date tour of Australia and released her highly acclaimed album Forest House - via Melbourne based label Civilians.
I paid $113.94 for the tickets. Happy to on-sell them at $85.00 for the two. They're also re-listed back on Moshtix, but I'm not sure what sort of reach that has.
If you've never been to the Tuning Fork - it's Aucklands best live music venue. Very intimate, if you get there early you'll get a bar stool & table arrangement.
