Clutter-free Gift Guide

I love thoughtful gifts whether it be to celebrate a birthday, holiday, or just out of the blue!  But I have a hard time understanding the pressure to purchase physical gifts for every person in your life every holiday season.  Many times I find people end up overspending, breaking their budget and purchasing items that others might not even want or need.  In my quest to enjoy my life more while having less clutter, I’ve challenged myself to find thoughtful gifts others will enjoy that won’t add clutter to their homes.  With the holidays quickly approaching, I prepared this clutter-free gift guide to help you consider some alternatives to traditional physical gifts like sweaters, scarves, electronics, jewelry, etc.
