As my name suggests, I love simplifying and try to live a minimalist life. Consumer products do not add to happiness, though a nice bottle of red wine does. But seriously, when I needed to get rid of things, I'd first try to sell them, unless someone I knew wanted them, then I'd donate them.
Here's a couple of aspects to look at are eluding you....you may be giving someone else pleasure from having the item and you are helping the environment by reducing what goes in the trash and reducing a new product purchase. The real problem is consumerism but that's up to each of us to change in our own way. So if someone can enjoy them, give em away.
