Day 11: Decluttering "G" Things {Decluttering From A To Z}




This month I'm hosting the Decluttering From A To Z challenge.  It's a fun way to help you declutter items in your home that you may not have thought of decluttering.

If you've missed any posts you can find them all here.

Today we're decluttering items that begin with the letter G!  You can declutter anything you want that begins with G.  I'll share some ideas and you can choose any of them that resonate with you, or declutter your own ideas that begin with G.  Join in the decluttering fun!


Decluttering Ideas That Begin With The Letter G


Here are a few items or areas you may have in your home that you could declutter:

  • Games
  • Giant picturebooks
  • Gowns (wedding, prom, bridesmaid, etc.)
  • Gardening magazines
  • Gardening tools
  • Girl stuff
  • Garbage
  • Garage
  • Goggles (ski, swimming, or work)
  • Globes
  • Gum
  • Girl toys
  • Gold
  • things on the Ground
  • things from a Group that you're no longer part of
  • Gloves
  • Guy things
  • Green items
  • Grey items
  • Glass
  • things made of Glass
  • Glitter
  • things with Glitter on them
  • Glue
  • Gifts (that you were given and never use or that you were planning to give but never gave)
  • Galoshes
  • Gallon-sized jars
  • Golf stuff (clubs, balls, shoes, shirts, hats, bags, etc.)
  • Gross things
  • Greeting cards (ones you haven't given & probably never will, or ones you've received)
  • Gift wrap
  • Gift cards


Find a few of these things that you no longer need, use, love, or have the space to store (that's the definition of clutter by the way!) and let them go.
