Clutter-Free Gifting No, it’s not a Scrooge, Bah-Humbug sort of thing and it’s not about scarcely giving, or not giving at all. It is about giving in a more considered fashion. Clutter-free gifting shifts how we think about what we give. Rather than item shopping for family, friends, and neighbors who may have all they need and want, we explore giving presents that won’t require eventual trunk-loads to thrift shops or dust-cloth treatments, not even batteries. For clarity, before we jump in: clutter-free will not meet 100% of our giving wishes. We desire to create for those we love an extraordinary holiday experience so perfect in plan and presentation that the joy of it lives on for years and years: the (OMG!) first sports car, the (take her breath away) emerald-cut diamond ring, and of course the (leave him almost speechless) motorcycle. Clutter-free is not intended to replace a boat, bling, or bicycle. In support of our communities, give a charitable donation to a cause your recipient is especially fond of or volunteers with. Purchase tickets to promote local events – check venues for performers and plays scheduled during 2010. Score with tickets to area sporting events. Contribute financial support to your local Public Broadcasting Service (and we all benefit). There are a lot of good-for-you clutter-free options at hand. Commit to walk or jog with a neighbor twice each week. Enroll a friend in the fitness program he has been warming up to. Gift health-supporting experiences: Jin Shin Jyutsu, Reiki, acupuncture, nutritional testing, or a warm-stone massage. We glow after a facial and tootsies love a pedicure before slipping into sexy, shimmery New Year’s Eve peep-toes. Clutter-free giving for children translates to time. Create a calendar with the younger ones highlighting their unique days of celebration.Pledge to read out loud letting their sparkling imaginations soar – or write down their own tall tale for them. Schedule park strolls to relax and talk; or playground time. Bake cookies – wrap and gift some to a neighbor. Make a 2010 plan to locate every ice cream vendor in town and perform taste tests – expand on how to use your city map. Sign up for swimming, skating, biking, bowling, tennis, horseback riding… Did someone say ‘get-away’? Maybe a romantic weekend at a quaint B&B in the Wine Country? To where do they wish to wander and what do they want to see? Concert tickets or perhaps a night at the opera? A week-long white-water rafting excursion? An early morning hot-air balloon ride? Cooking classes with a celebrated Chef? Movie passes are five-star stocking stuffers. Students welcome this practical approach to the holidays – it lets them hold on to more of their own money. Schedule a car service to keep them safe, while you gain peace of mind. Car washes with fresh-smelling detailing. Not easy to top a generous gas gift card. Pay their steep winter heating bills and you’ll be a hit with the roommates as well. A grocery store gift card or one for their favorite restaurant – they must keep their strength up! Would software and hardware benefit from a tune-up (along with their assignments)? How long has it been since their bicycle was professionally given the once over? A favorite home-and-garden gift is a blank ‘Honey Do’ list wrapped around a handyman gift certificate. Lend a hand cleaning (read ‘clearing’) an attic, garage or storage unit. Have they already started clutter-clearing and now there’s a large lump of stuff along the side of the house? Offer a haul to the land-fill. If the garden needs sprucing, planting – a gift certificate for landscape assistance would spell ‘relief’. We are limitless to the variety of clutter-free gifts we can offer. An astrological forecast would be enlightening. Help with veterinary expenses or pet grooming would get that tail wagging. Cover the cost of a community college class or course. Chocolate! Not everyone sews – give mending and replace long-lost buttons. Help arrange a sacred space or altar, inspire a treasure map. Clean someone’s mirrors, picture frames, and light fixtures (this is after all about Feng Shui). It is my hope that you will find a few of these suggestions fitting for family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Let’s give each other the gift of our time while demonstrating intentions of gratitude and generosity. Wishing you an especially Joyous and Happy Holiday Season! Affirmations In gratitude and with an intention to serve. |
