Decluttering for New Year 2023

Common New Year’s resolutions & how Interparcel can help you achieve them

5th January 2023, 8:08am in Lifestyle by Amy Newham

As we all recover from the overconsumption of cheese, chocolate, and let’s be honest, one too many glasses of wine- it’s time to contemplate what we achieved last year and what we want to work towards in 2023.

What are the top 5 New Year’s resolutions?

New Year Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions are a personal thing. However, there are some common resolutions that many people wish to achieve. For example:

  • Living healthier
  • Become more organised
  • Learn a new hobby or skill
  • Save more money
  • Travel more

Now, we may not be able to help you plan your new fitness regime. However, we can help you work towards some of these common goals.

Learn a new hobby or skill

Pledging to learn how to play the drums when you flat-share with 3 other people might not be the most ‘realistic’ of all wishes, however, art and crafts are more practical. We’ve discussed how you can transform cardboard boxes into festive decorations or storage, but there is an abundance of craft hobbies such as knitting, painting and embroidery.

If you’ve always had a creative streak, 2023 could be the year you finally open that Etsy shop you’ve been talking about. You can connect multiple shopping platforms with our Shipping Manager, including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Not On The High Street.

Get organised

Sell sold items online

After the sea of tinsel encompassing your home, it’s understandable that you may want to get organised and start the year off fresh.

The first step is to declutter your home. The garage, loft, or spare rooms are typically the main culprits for hoarding mess. Start on the space you feel like you can tackle first and sort items into keep, donate and sell piles. Online marketplaces are a great platform to use for this purpose.

Once your listing has sold and you’ve received payment, it’s time to send it. Depending on the type of item, we have different recommendations on how to package it sufficiently for shipment. Clothes or books are fairly easy to sell and ship, but bigger items like bicycles or suitcases require a bit more attention.

If you decide to sell your unwanted items on eCommerce platforms, such as eBay, you can connect your store to our Shipping Manager. Integrating with Shipping Manager streamlines parcel sending and comes with a range of helpful features including automatic address correction, and access to reliable courier services.

Save more money

We are all about helping individuals and businesses like you save those extra pounds. That’s why we work with the best parcel delivery companies in the world to offer the most cost-effective options when sending a package abroad or within the UK.

Whether you prefer booking a collection or drop-off courier service, you can compare and book a parcel delivery service using our simple online quote tool. So, if you want to sell a few unwanted Christmas gifts, you know you won’t be paying a fortune to ship them.
