One of the most common things we find when we are downsizing and organizing with a client is boxes of staples. Sometimes one, sometimes a dozen. My theory is this. If the person worked in an office, and found themselves at home needing a staple refill, they would take a box of stapes from work. They would put a strip of staples in their home stapler, and put the rest of the box away. When they found themselves needing staples again, they couldn’t find the original box they “borrowed” so they borrowed another box. And now there are two. Repeat that scenario over decades and you end up with Team Call Sheilah! finding multiple boxes of staples during our decluttering and downsizing sessions. Not to worry. We do donate the staples to various charities in need of office supplies.
