I would like to suggest sharing with people who have few possessions through donating to charities, especially those that send clothes to the Third World - why burden friends with the stuff we want to shed ourselves? That does not strike me as a loving action. If a charity sells things in a UK charity shop, bothering to use the Gift Aid scheme means they get greater value from what they sell.
