Donate What You No Longer Need
If it still has usable life left in it, donate it somewhere. Look for local charity organizations that could use baskets, glass bowls, dishes, tablecloths or whatever you have left over that you don't need to take home with you.

Your huge stack of bridal magazines and books can be passed on to a friend or relative who is planning a wedding. Check if your local library would like them. Libraries often accept donations of books and magazines that are in good shape.
Brides in the United States buy more than 7.5 million bridal magazines every year. The average bride will purchase four to six bridal magazines while planning her wedding, and there are countless numbers of free local wedding-related publications to pick up.
Anything else you find you have left over that is nonfood and nonperishable can be donated to local Goodwill or Salvation Army stores. You can even offer items through your local online Freecycle (www.freecycle.org) chapter. There might be someone in the group who is getting married and could use 100 glass votive candle holders or fifty glass bowls for floating candles.
