Spring is right around the corner and Easter is coming up. Every year I organize a mini-Easter egg hunt for my children. I reuse the plastic Easter eggs that I bought about three years ago. It's actually quite easy to store the plastic eggs away (the key to organization is to have a clearly labelled plastic container and to store the items based on the holiday immediately after the event, so you don't forget).
For those of you who are interested in buying new plastic eggs, consider purchasing them from your local Goodwill store. When I dropped off a donation recently I saw non-clothes items on sale (from other donors) and the store clerk said that people do not realize that Goodwill takes alot of different donations beyond your basic clothes. Goodwill takes furniture, books, household items, kitchen/baking items among others. Please keep this in mind before you throw out your next batch of castaways. Please be sure to ask for a tax donation receipt and they will provide it to you. It's great to file the receipts away in a tax folder for tax filing purposes. All donations are tax deductible (for more about tax deductions contact your financial advisor or accountant).
Also for senior citizens, I think they offer a percent discount (up to 50% off all items), so keep this in mind and share this information with your senior friends.
Please visit their website at www.goodwill.org to find the local store near you.
