Clutter-Free Gift Guide

Thanksgiving is this week!  The time has come to think about your holiday gifting.  I implore you, PLEASE don't spend money on things your loved ones won't use — (gag gifts, I am looking disapprovingly at you!).

Here are some clutter-free gift suggestions that can be enjoyed, used, and consumed!

MONEY or GIFT CARDS:
Just let people buy what they want! That way there is NO waste or clutter. Every year my mother-in-law sends me a generous check and I so enjoy it! I treat myself to exactly what I crave, usually some designer cosmetics or fragrant bath bombs!

Remember, gift cards are great but ONLY if you KNOW, without a doubt, that the recipient would actually shop at that store or purchase from that website. 
 
SUBSCRIPTIONS/MEMBERSHIPS:

•  For Kids = Toy subscription services like Toy Library.
•  Subscription kits like Little Passports, Stem Lab, and KidStir. Remember, these are only clutter-free IF the kids use the kit!
•  For Anyone = Museum Passes.
•  Local Theatre subscription.
•  Amusement Park season tickets.
•  We love Finders Seekers or EXIT “escape games” for a few hours of collaborative fun.
•  Amazing Clubs has ALL kinds of “Gift of the Month” ideas.
   

CLASSES/EVENTS/EXPERIENCES:

•  Cooking Classes.
•  Comedy Show Tickets.
•  Sports Events.
•  Concerts.
•  Art, Music, or Sport Lessons.

INDULGENT:

•  Spa Day.
•  Massage Coupon.
•  Manicure/Pedicure.
•  Facial.
•  Make-Up Artist Lesson.
•  Family Portrait Session.

PRACTICAL:

•  Meal Kit subscriptions
•  Local Car Wash coupons.
•  Uber gift card.
•  Book of bus passes.
•  Gas/Petrol gift card.
•  Grocery Store gift card.
•  Laundry service.
•  Babysitting voucher.
•  Deep home clean.
•  Car detailing.

Finally, I think my favorite suggestion is to donate to a meaningful CHARITY in someone's name. This creates NO clutter and can make both you and the person you are donating for feel great!
