Finding meaningful gifts can be stressful for the person who gives it and run-of-the mill gifts can add to the clutter for the person who receives it!
Over half of us will receive an unwanted gift this holiday season. Make sure you’re not the one giving it.
While finding a meaningful gift should be fun it often ends up adding stress to the holiday season (read: stress=toxin).
I am sharing my curated list of gifts that are meaningful with the intention to help reduce your holiday stress and hope you can find something relevant for your loved ones. What did you end up choosing? What kind of gift do you like to receive? I would love to hear your thoughts.
“Twenty-five years ago, Christmas was not the burden that it is now. There was less haggling and weighing, less quid pro quo, less fatigue of body, less wearing of soul; and, most of all, there was less loading up with trash.” —Meredith Deland in Harper’s Bazaar, 1904

Gifting experiences that help us grow or do something we normally would not invest in, always make innovative and memorable gifts. These make perfect gifts for those no material possession would suffice. As Maya Angelou famously stated: “At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” This year instead of buying a physical object, share an experience; create a memory that would last longer than any material item. Some of my favorites:
