Make a plan to donate some stuff to The Idea Store in March

I don’t know about you, but this spring-like weather is putting me in a spring cleaning kind of mood. It could also be the fact that I have spent way too many hours in this house over the past year, and I am constantly annoyed at all of the stuff that lives here. Either way, a trip to The Idea Store seems in order. They have opened donation appointments for March. You sign up for a 15 minute time slot online, then pull up and let them take your stuff out of the trunk. 

The great thing about donating to The Idea Store is that they will accept a lot of those weird things that you don’t know what to do with: Random game pieces, shells you collected on vacation, your elementary school science fair trophies, incomplete puzzles, deconstructed Barbies, and so much more. Find the full list here. There is a two box maximum for each donation.

Appointments can be made from 12 to 4 p.m., Thursday through Saturday.
