How to Downsize Gifts and Heirlooms

Evelyn Page Retirement Village

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.

Council Feedback form

Tracy from Gulf Harbour

Hi all. Can we use this as another opportunity to mention saving our Hibiscus Coast Ferry (Gulf Harbour) as it is not even mentioned. All the locals want it to remain and also would like Weekend sailings to access things like concerts in the city. John Watson - Auckland Councillor is still the only one actively helping to save it. Thanks
