OLD STUFF DAY

History of Old Stuff Day

If you think about it, there’s always been old stuff – but exactly when Old Stuff Day started to be celebrated isn’t too clear. That said there’s no doubt that this is an important day for those who are fans of all things gone by.

We’ve long had an appreciation for the value that age can bring to items. Wine becomes better the older it gets, furniture becomes more of a must-have once it becomes an antique; it’s certain that some old things have their uses, value or charm. Collectors nowadays will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.

How to celebrate Old Stuff Day?

Old Stuff Day can mean different things to different people. Most people use this day to cherish their old but significant belongings. This could be a book that you have had since you were a child or a family heirloom that has been passed down generations. You can hunt through your belongings for something special and appreciate it on this date.

You could also celebrate Old Stuff Day by taking something old and freshening it up. This could be anything from an antique piece of furniture to an old garden ornament. You can then clean it, fix it, paint it, or give it any sort of makeover that is required.

Today is also the perfect day for you to de-clutter your home and get rid of all of the things you don’t need. Often, people hold onto things on the very small chance they may use them again one day, yet all this does is result in more and more clutter building up. So, why not use Old Stuff Day to get rid of all of those things you don’t need anymore?
