40 Things that you can declutter for Lent

Today is Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent in the Christian calendar. there are now 40 days to Easter, and I’ve seen some 40 day lent challenges floating around Facebook (I wish I’d thought of that!), so instead, I’ve compiled a list of 40 things that you can declutter for Lent.

  1. clothes that don’t fit
  2. clothes that you haven’t worn for over 2 years
  3. clothes that you don’t like for whatever reason
  4. clothes that have stains on them
  5. clothes that need repairing
  6. socks with holes
  7. tights/stockings with ladders
  8. shoes that don’t fit or aren’t comfortable
  9. shoes that are worn out
  10. handbags that you haven’t used in a while
  11. accessories that you don’t like or use
  12. make-up that’s stale or that you don’t use
  13. nail polish you don’t use or that’s past it’s best
  14. hair products you’ve grown out of
  15. any personal grooming items you don’t use

  27. food in the fridge that is out of it’s use by date
  28. herbs and spices that you just don’t use or that are out of date
  29. special teas that you don’t drink or keep for someone who likes them
  30. manuals for things that you don’t own any more
  31. notes from courses or qualifications that you’ve taken and haven’t looked at in a year
