Love this post. I'm a Professional Home Organizer and a lot of times people give me their unwanted Items as a result of a decluttering session. I sell all of the stuff (given that it still has some sort of value) and put the money into a charity account. This is something I do throughout the year, not just around the holidays, and you'd be surprised how much money accumulates. I pick a different charity every year and it truly makes me feel good to be able to contribute to a good cause in some way.
