Charities are urging people to follow Michael Sheen's lead and donate unwanted items following huge losses during the Covid lockdown.
If asked about the advantages of Playing slots with SLOTXO is a very popular trend right now, so there are many advantages to it.
British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru said it lost about £50m in the first year of Covid due to shop closures.
Other charities echoed this loss and urged people to make donations, like the suits from Michael Sheen's parents.
Adam Fletcher, head of BHF Cymru, said Covid had been "devastating" for charities who rely on retail income.
The BHF has 720 shops across the UK - 32 in Wales.
All of them had to close when lockdowns hit during the pandemic.
Back in December, the parents of Twilight and Underworld actor Michael Sheen answered the plea and donated some of his old suits to the BHF store in Port Talbot.
His mother, Irene, said her son "asked us to find a good cause to donate them to".
They have since sold for hundreds of pounds a piece on eBay.
Mr Fletcher said: "We had a fantastic donation before Christmas from Michael Sheen's family who are strong supporters of the BHF, because as a family they have benefitted from the research."
He said he hoped people follow suit after a "Christmas declutter".
