Junk is all around me

I'm looking for cheap custom boxes that I can use as storage boxes. We have so many old clothes, toys, books, house stuff that I want to put away but I want it to be organized so I wouldn't find any problems finding them in the future. My husband complains all the time whenever he wants to revisit his past (translation: look at old useless junk with sentimental value) because I always tell him that whatever he's looking for is buried so deep it'd be impossible to get it. It's true though. Even my old journals and drawings are now good as gone. Unless I can find a way to organize all our junk, and perhaps have the heart to throw some of the useless ones away, my stuff will never see the light of day.
