A slightly morbid - but genuine - question!

Okay, so we're doing one of our occasional attempts at being grown-ups and have actually started lookng at sorting out our wills (somewhat inspired by the still-ongoing fuss around my grandmother's funeral, etc.)

Most of it is fairly straightforward, but one thing we're debating is what to do with our 'stuff': by this I particularly mean books, but also DVDs, CDs (especially the Big Finish audio dramas), etc.

So given my friends list consists of many people who also suffer from this problem, I'm curious about your thoughts! There's certain things that we've already got an idea for (for example there's a school that P. has done a 'reading buddy' scheme with who we'd probably give many of the childrens' books to.) We'd also probably arrange an 'open house' to allow family to choose things that they'd like to have, but that would also leave a lot left over. We could just say 'anything left over donate to charity x', but that feels a bit impersonal for something that's so important to us.

So we're looking for ideas of what other people have done, or any organisations that you know of that would be particularly interested in the sorts of things we would be disposing of.

Any responses along the lines of 'that's easy: just give them to me' will be met with the traditional Paddington Hard Stare!
