Had to get out a bunch of unused but good kitchen items and some assorted surplus things. Wrote a big cardboard with the text: I like to give these away as gifts! - All the items placed aside of my door facing the street. The only item they didn't take was an old plush mouse I had sitting on top and the board. I hope somebody needed that stuff! - how do you do this? Decluttering?

It's been challenging for us too, sometimes! We have used the KonMari method sometimes to go through clutter, i.e. you take out a bunch of items, like clothes, and then you go through each one and say, "Does this bring me joy?" If not, you get rid of it. I've found that it helps when you are on the fence about getting rid of something. It also helps you find things that may have been buried, like a kitchen item that may have been covered up by other things, for example.
