Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

Elizabeth & Grant from Avalon

I say this, as when I drive around the Hutt Valley, on sections where there were once one or two homes - 1 or 2 lots of rates - there can now be a huge number of homes. Many, many multi property sections now, new subdivisions as well, all presumably paying rates. I would love to hear from someone who knows the net gain in actual properties over the last two to three years. It must be hundreds and hundreds.
