4. Promotional Swag, Freebies, and Branded Trinkets
Promotional items enter homes easily through conferences, trade shows, community races, and festivals. These branded plastic water bottles, cheap tote bags, foam stress balls, and promotional lanyards clutter closets and desks. Because you did not purchase these items, you carry minimal emotional attachment to them, making them prime targets for fast removal. Gather all promotional swag, test pens to discard duds, and pack usable tote bags and water bottles into donation boxes for community shelters, keeping only the durable items you genuinely use.
