Since I do regular toy audits, I don't have large dump piles. But my my youngest is now school-age, so there are quite a few toys that will not be missed much.
What's gone
Mr Potato Head and a puzzle or two went to a friend (always my first choice). My favourite charity shop also benefited from my constant search and seizure of tiny unloved treasures. It never stops. I try to remember my own advice on toy decluttering and the Top 10 Toys List.
A shallow storage tray, reclaimed from wooden puzzles, became the Lego tray - much more accessible and stored under the couch.
Other bulky items on their way to another home...
The biggest win for the big picture was selling the kids' art tables.
My sister had these made and they are great. But kids grow.
It wasn't a large cash payout, but it was like the right move in those sliding number puzzles.

What are your New Year decluttering goals?
