In the past, things like wire and foam didn't have a home. There were workarounds but no perfect solution. Until now! ## We recently implemented the 'Hard Goods' category so you can adequately separate expendable recipe ingredients from your rentals, ensuring that you can apply a markup to them and maintain a higher level of organization.  We are writing this informational blog to ensure everyone understands the difference between the 'Miscellaneous' category and the new 'Hard Goods' category.  In the past, you might've placed items like foam, wire, wood, or ribbon into 'Miscellaneous,' which is categorized as a rental. Then those pesky supply items would appear on your pick-up checklists - no, thank you! ![hardgoods-1](https://blog.detailsflowers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hardgoods-1.png?width=700&height=438&name=hardgoods-1.png) Now, you should categorize them as 'Hard Goods' - items that are not retrievable, are expended as ingredients, and should have a markup applied. But, then, what goes into your 'Miscellaneous' category? Items you want back but don't have a better-fitting home category. Example: A matching set of photo frames for family photos at an upcoming wedding or a funeral wreath stand for an upcoming wake you're designing. Neither entirely fall under 'Vases & Rentals,' and they're not 'Furniture'! ![miscellaneous](https://blog.detailsflowers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/miscellaneous.png?width=700&height=438&name=miscellaneous.png)  In these cases, you've got a category for that: Miscellaneous.  With all those little must-haves to hold your bouquets and arrangements together, you've got the 'Hard Goods' category. Here are a few tips from the Details Flowers Support team: Stay organized, folks!
