I would expect that your surplus items are all of good quality.
That would be a big assumption! Since I shop mostly at discount stores like Ross AND TJ Maxx. I must admit though, I'm starting to see the attraction of a good-quality capsule wardrobe.

I also purged some of the extras of the several veggie peelers, extra pizza cutters and metric crap ton of paring knives of varying quality.
Yes, my kitchen has many duplicates because of CMM bringing his kitchen stuff and not wanting the boys to use his stuff. When he finally passes I will be doing some serious purging of utensils in the kitchen. Fortunately I have enough space in my kitchen.
I like the idea of doing a little organizing task everyday. I still have to do my bedroom (which still contains some of the mess from doing the walk-in closet) - that will be my project for next weekend. Then my mom's old bedroom, which was used for Xmas package hiding and my one son is using the closet for his excess stuff, needs to be turned back into a guest bedroom for the guests we might be able to have some day after the pandemic passes. It's also designated to be the sick room if one of us gets Covid.
It is very satisfying to purge things. Since my t-shirt drawer is full, I will need to adopt a one in/one out plan for it. They are all now neatly folded in a Marie Kondo sort of way so I can see what I have. I still have a Randy Rainbow t-shirt arriving that was a Xmas present from one of my sons so I will have to find one to give away.
The big challenge will be the garage, which needs purging as well. I have stuff from all of my kids previous abodes plus one son's ex-girlfriend etc. I've already gotten rid of quite a lot in the past year but it's still too full. A three car garage can be a blessing OR a curse! It also functions as storage for my medical charts and an auxiliary pantry.
