• Gift cards for ice cream

• Passes for the movies, bowling, or skating

Clutter-Free Gift Guide

Remember, this gift guide is meant to de-clutter one’s home and not add to the plethora of things stuffed in one’s storage bins. Gift-giving is meant to be personal, thoughtful, and useful. Browse the holiday gift guide and start buying intentionally, not randomly.

Happy holiday shopping!
