“That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? That’s what it’s always been about. Gifts, gifts… gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts! You wanna know what happens to your gifts? They all come to me. In your garbage. You see what I’m saying? In your garbage. I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas neckties I found at the dump. And the avarice. The avarice never ends! ‘I want golf clubs. I want diamonds. I want a pony so I can ride it twice, get bored and sell it to make glue.’ Look, I don’t wanna make waves, but this whole Christmas season is…stupid , stupid stupid.” – The Grinch
I don’t know about you – but the Grinch has a point. Over the years, I’ve realized the art of gift giving needs reevaluated. I’d much rather find something that is useful & won’t go to waste. Not only do people run into spending hundreds of dollars during the holiday season, but our homes become bombarded with items that may or may not be useful to us. As I’m learning more about intentional living, I’ve been understanding my priorities & what holds more value. For me, I find so much joy in gifting experiences & spending time with others. Material possessions although are appreciated – tend to find themselves at donation centers more often than not. So, with that realization – I wanted to put together a list of Clutter Free Gift Options for this year.
Feel free to comment down below any clutter free gift ideas that aren’t listed above. The more ideas the better! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season & new year!

I love this post! That is very true! I always try and get things people want or will use. For adults I like making baked goods. As adults we can buy whatever we want or need! Happy holidays!

Recently I’ve been trying to get people things they need, or stuff they will use, however, I don’t like to overuse beauty sets for women as they are such a common gift!

that’s true! I think beauty sets can be a waste of money and not good value. Instead, you can always just send them gift cards so they can choose what they need or want later.

I have a young niece and nephew to shop for, and they don’t have much room for big toys. So I’m thinking of getting them tickets or passes rather than objects. Great ideas!

I am always truly grateful for the gifts that I receive but I will admit that a number of things I get do just end up being clutter — and I know some of the things I’ve gifted have also done this. These ideas are really useful and I am making sure I try to do this in the future!

I love the visual you added, what a clean and concise way to read this post! If someone gave me concert tickets or membership for Spotify or the Gym, I would absolutely thank them. A charcuterie board is also a great idea!
