Here’s something to think about in the coming weeks, and your family collects holiday gifts and all the packaging that comes with them: what do you do with the boxes? Some of those decisions are easy; of course you throw away boxes from toys, clothing, etc. But what about fancy electronics and gear that you might have to return or sell one day? Do you need to save the box for that new Wii for the kids?

The Unclutterer blog, a site dedicated to helping people stay organized, says keep the boxes only if you A) plan to sell the item within three years, and B) the original packaging improves the price when you sell it. Otherwise, it’s not worth the clutter.
