Too Much Baby Stuff? Best Ways to Control Baby Clutter
Everyone loves babies, and everyone wants to buy lots of cute baby things.
Because of this, it's easy to end up with a lot of baby stuff before your baby is even born!
If you're pregnant and trying to be more frugal, make do with what you have, and keep your life free of clutter, then what in the world are you supposed to do with all that baby stuff you receive as gifts?
Here are 7 ways to control baby clutter.
A few of my favorites from that list are:
- Don't have a baby shower if you don't want one. If you have a relative or friend that insists, ask for there to be a theme so you get things you really want & need.
- Purchase items as you need them, not in anticipation of needing them.
- Take back unwanted items that you received as gifts, and exchange them for wanted items that you really need.
- Donate items that you don't want to charity, or sell them on eBay or Craigslist.
Try to stick to the bare necessities when it comes to buying baby things. And encourage your friends to do the same!
