#Boston #AllstonChristmas
Scored a 3-tier letter/legal-size shelf in oh-so-basic avocado, three legal-pads in their wrapping still unopened, and a copy of 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini which has long been on my list. Had to pass up some good stuff for the Nara lamp taking up the whole of my hiking backpack.
If you're moving tomorrow and overwhelmed by all the stuff you need to get rid of, please consider:
-Donate thoughtfully!!!! Avoid Savers/Salvo/Goodwill. Many orgs can get your items directly to people who need it, like shelters/drop-ins/etc, rather than making a profit off of what could be free.
-Put unopened food in yr local community fridge(s)!
-Post stuff on the "Free" section of Craigslist, Buy Nothing Groups, etc
-Or simply curb what yr neighbors might find useful. Bring the spirit of #AllstonChristmas to wherever you happen to be...
#GiftEconomy #ThriftStores #EverythingIsFree
>>>Please wash items before giving... Don't donate stuff you wouldn't gift a dear friend. Don't put open or spoiled food in the community fridge. Remember the people who gotta sort yr unwanted items.
Happy #AllstonChristmas to all who celebrate.
add to that:
hoppa wheeled shopping trolley bag, which I immediately used to bring back produce from the Somerville Flea
An unused amaryllis bulb kit
Epicurean Extra-Long Black Composite Cutting Board/Carving Board from Crate & Barrel that looks unused
We passed on:
an instant pot (in the box)
a really nice 2'x3' framed mirror
Big rainbow (at least 7 feet on the biggest diameter) colored braided rag rug with matching grid mesh back

My city is so fancy we provide comfy couches for folks waiting for the bus.
