Quest, house party, garage sale we get rid of unnecessary things so that we can have a good time in the process and recharge with positivity.

1 Arrange a home quest to collect things

A good way to sort out unnecessary things is to carry out the clutter with the whole family. Even children can be involved in this activity: for example, ask them to find all the broken or annoying toys. And to make cleaning really interesting, add a game element to it. You can cut cards in which the zones for parsing and the number or type of items that need to be thrown away will be spelled out. Put them in a bag or hat and let everyone pull out a task. Or give each one a zone, set a timer for 15-20 minutes and change, moving clockwise. Any unusual activity will make the clutter less routine and add excitement to the cleaning process.

2 Organize a house party with an exchange of things

Surely among your friends there will be those who have a lot of good, but unnecessary items at home that have no time to sell, but it’s a pity to throw away. Organize an exchange party. To do this, select a theme (for example, women’s clothing, books or plants). Let everyone come with what he wants to get rid of, and leave with what he likes from others. Do not forget that it should be a fun pastime, so prepare music, snacks and drinks, organize a comfortable recreation area. If you exchange clothes, do not forget to allocate a place where you can change clothes, and be sure to put a large mirror in the room.

3 Hold a garage sale

The owners of the cottage, who have good relations with neighbors, can arrange a garage sale. It exhibits all sorts of things of various scales: from a collection of buttons to garden equipment. Prepare price plates, write information about the day and time of the sale to thematic chats, invite those you know personally.

4 Arrange a mock auction

To do this, you will need to invite your friends home again, but this time they must come empty-handed and with bags for trophies. In good weather, such a party can be held in the park or outside the city. Set aside the first half of the event for various contests, puzzles and quizzes. Prepare tickets for the winners and do not forget to make a reserve so that everyone present can participate in the second part of the party. When the contests are over and everyone has stocked up on game currency, seat the guests and start the auction. Introduce the item, tell a couple of funny facts from its history and announce the initial price. Let the guests raise the stakes and fight for the things they like with the tickets they won before. 

5 Start a piggy bank

To carry out clutter, sort things, take pictures and put unnecessary things on ad sites, look for buyers, all this is boring, while it is done for the sake of order in the house. Motivate yourself and your family by setting a goal to collect a certain amount and spend it on something that you have long wanted to do together (for example, it may be a family trip to a water park). Or divide the amount equally and spend it as everyone wants. The main thing is that now everyone will really look for unnecessary things with passion and part with them more willingly, think over good angles for photos and actively monitor sites with ads.
