Ug, my garage is filled with spare boxes and bubble wrap, lol. I see to get more than I used, but I always think I may one day need it, lol.

I was hoarding packing supplies for about a year, and nowhere near as neat and tidy a hoard as yours! We had a spring clean in October with a bonfire and I took the plunge and got rid of it all. I had great fun ripping up all the cardboard into easily-burnable chunks.

LOL Diamond I didn't realise your little hoarding problem was as bad as that :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:
I would suggest doing more sales to get rid of some of it, or do some custom stuff..or er..make something creative out of it?.... :P  but  I have a similar problem myself. Boxes, bubble wrap, tape, brown parcel paper, giftwrap,  cards, tags, thank you cards.. tons of the stuff ..and I got rid of it all once , then when I came to sell again I had to go out and replace the whole blinkin lot - what a pain! and not cheap either.,.... so now I just go with the hoarding thing and keep it all :lookround: :silly:

Oh trust me I have what to sell, which is why I have the dang things, I keep thinking well that might fit in that box and this might fit in this one.  But sadly I just stink at trying to fit in all I have to do in a day and get my stuff listed.  I need to get way better at it though and I need to go though the boxes yet again and get more out for recycle day.

At least your stuff is neatly organized- my storage area looks like a tornado went through, with all the boxes and packing peanuts and bubble wrap everywhere  :blush:

The very second I break down my boxes, EVERY TIME, I realize I need one of them right that minute and that I have run out of packing tape.

My area is too small not to be, most of the time.

Well tomorrow is paper day so I shall see if I can get another boxful out to the curb.  Wish me luck.

I thought I was bad!!  :happy:  Nice collection though!!!  :hope: I'm quite envious of those boxes, even though I don't need them... be interesting to see what a box of boxes would cost to post to New Zealand....

you made me feel much better about my mess.  Unfortunately I live in a small room and my packaging materials take up allot of it.

LOL never thought anyone would be jealous of my hoard. 

Sadly today was bottles and cans not paper so I did not get to thin it out some more.  Next week though, some shall sadly have to go.

I have a box hording problem too! My attic is packed with them. Whenever someone moves, they ask me for boxes. I don't mind giving them away (I'll never use them all) but sometimes part of me goes "noooo my boxes" :P

That's what my entire basement has become. It's just boxes.
My cats love it, I don't love it quite as much. At least I know we will have the proper sized box for nearly everything???
I'll take some of that styrofoam, though!!!

I used to have a ton of packaging materials too, but it really does get overwhelming, so my wife and I decided to get rid of ALL OF IT.  Even so it is a constant battle since I buy stuff all the time and she is addicted to Amazon Prime... If I really need a box I get one at the post office or work now.

I heartily recommend getting rid of as much as possible as often as possible. Believe me, it will be back...
