Decluttering questions

I'm feeling overwhelmed by our upcoming move to a slightly smaller house and by all the "stuff" we've accumulated in 16 years in this house. My kids were three, about to turn four years old when we moved here, and they will turn 20 this summer. Dh is something of a hoarder - he doesn't want to give up the 20 year old Schwinn air-dyne in the garage that hasn't been used in 15 years!

Can you give me a reality check? What would you do with the following items?

-"ring pillow" for cousin's wedding in which ds was the ring bearer?

-baby china given as baby gifts (not really pretty imho and has been boxed up since rec'd?)

-oddles of sewing thread, and the rack that holds them? (It's been years since I've sewed regularly, and I'd probably just go buy thread to match if I do sew again?)

-ds' cap and gown from HS graduation? (I suspect it would work for a Halloween or Hogwart party but he's not a sentimental person.

What's the advice from the masses?
