Not yours? Get it out your door.

Wow. We both cannot believe it's December already. With it being such a busy (and not to mention glorious) time of year here's a little tip to help things run a little more smoothly with all the guests you'll be entertaining this holiday season.

Returning something you've borrowed or something that has been kindly left behind at your house by a friend or family member can be a real challenge. I find things can stay at my home for up to a year that really could have been returned months earlier. 

To help with this dilemma have a hamper, basket or box at your front door as an 'out-box'. When you grab your keys and wallet to go out you can check inside and see if anything can be dropped off; library books, that faulty item you purchased at the supermarket or even a gift you bought for someone you haven't quite got to them yet.
