Thank you for addressing this topic. It’s very relevant to me.

I always swing by the gift wrap/stationary section at Target to check out the clearance end-cap(or tags in the aisles). I just got wrapping paper and gift bags for .38 each. Ready for gift giving!

I love your gift closet! I also purchase gifts/toys on clearance but don’t have such nice and neat place to keep them. Mine end up in a plastic tote in the garage. Wish I had the space to have a closet like yours 🙂

Clothing is an absolute must in buying ahead of time. One of my favorite places to buy is Gymboree. Seems odd, huh? They are a higher quality store with excellent resale, but I can buy them for CHEAP (watch out Target buyers, I may have a new store for you!). I always shop the clearance items and they always have an extra sale or 20% off coupon so I find shirts for $2-$5 (regular $20), pants for $4-6 (regular $30), socks for less than 50 cents, shoes for $5 (regular $37). Better yet is when I earn Gymbucks to spend on clothing later!! Then when I go to resell these items on ebay or at a garage sale, I get my money back and sometimes make money and my kids got to wear new clothing. Now I must say, not all Gymboree stores are the same, but mine is always full of deals and I love the clothing!!!

I definitely have those bins full of clothing just like you! I almost never buy clothing full priced. I also ALWAYS hit up the seasonal sections after holidays to get holiday decor for Halloween and Christmas, gifts for Easter baskets the following year, and costumes (my daughter knows what she is going to be for an entire year, which may not work for all kids, but fits her type A personality perfectly).
