I enjoy supporting small artists so I have ordered many items from various artists. Most would be clips, stickers, prints, and some larger items such as clothes. I am also a patreon subscriber for a few artists that ship out monthly items such as pins, prints, and stickers. Because of that I have ended up with a lot of shipping envelopes that I refuse to throw away. I have a specific box in my room that I put them in, it may be at capacity but I don&#8217;t do as much online shopping anymore! Yes I still have 8 active patreon memberships but most of them are now just digital and the one that still ships me pins, they only send every other month! I really like packaging material, tissue paper, holographic resealable bags, confetti, pretty envelopes, ziplock baggies and i will even keep those clear single use self adhesive bags if they are cute. Some people, especially my parents, may see this as a hoarding problem; but I know I will use it some day! I even actively use them now. It&#8217;s useful for organizing all of the stickers, prints, postcards and items I have gotten from those shops! I also am actively working on my own shop right now and have shipped 3 packages so far. Packing materials are very<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-207 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/recycle2023\/files\/2023\/10\/box-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"a box with an assortment of used packing materials.\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/recycle2023\/files\/2023\/10\/box-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.hampshire.edu\/recycle2023\/files\/2023\/10\/box.jpg 566w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> expensive to buy at the store and I have disdain towards Amazon (and other overconsumption online shops) so it makes sense to save the packages. It&#8217;s not like they are strewn across my room (anymore), they are in their own spot hidden away from view. I would probably cry if I had to throw them away because it is such a waste to do so. I mean that, thinking about my dad throwing away my packing materials while I am off at school makes my heart drop and dread begin to brew. If they go in the trash then I can\u2019t use them and I will feel guilty. I hate that so much. So I will simply keep them until I use them.
