How do you feel after Christmas day. Have you ever found yourself with a pile of gifts that you have no idea where you are going to put, and maybe even some that you have no use for? Now you have to ‘hoard’ said gift until you are able to regift it to someone else or have waited the appropriate amount of time (whatever that is) to donate it.
A survey conducted by Roy Morgan (source) has found that Australians are planning to spend $11B on gifts for Christmas 2021. To make sure that money is well spent and doesn’t end up as one of the 41% of gifts that are re-gifted (source) check out these clutter-free gift ideas for your loved one. These might even inspire you to change your gift-giving traditions and change your focus from gifting physical things to experiences or even just your time.
This blog post was inspired by Becoming Minimalist’s 99 Clutter-Free Gift Ideas so check out Joshua Beckers post for even more clutter-free gift ideas to inspire you!
