The holidays are almost here, and gift-giving season is upon us. Let’s be honest: at some point or another, we’ve all received gifts that we don’t really want or need. Perhaps you feel guilty about getting rid of them, so you tuck them away somewhere at home. Before you know it, you have a chaotic closet stuffed full of unused items. But gift-giving doesn’t have to be about giving more “stuff.” It is possible to give thoughtful, useful gifts that don’t create more clutter. If you need some ideas, consulting a gift guide for clutter-free living is a great place to start.
Instead of choosing gifts on impulse or “just for fun,” focus on giving practical gifts this holiday season. For anyone who is planning to host guests, you can’t go wrong with gifting flowers or soap. Many of us travel over the holidays, so I’ve also included gift ideas for wanderers. Multi-purpose items, items that can be repurposed, and tools to help loved ones get organized are all smart choices, too. For the ultimate time- and space-saving gift, though, we offer gift cards for 4-hour organizing sessions with LA Move Consultants.
Below, I’ve put together a gift guide with some of my favorite tried-and-true practical products. Check it out!
Fresh Flowers
Fresh flowers aren’t always the first thing that comes to mind when many of us are giving gifts, but they will likely brighten the gift recipient’s day. Consider gifting flowers in a vase, so that even after they wilt, the vase can be reused again and again.
Beauty Gift Set
This is the ideal gift for hard workers who could use a little reminder for some self-care every now and then (I’m looking at you, moms). Items like soap, lotion, and other beauty products are the ultimate space-savers because they can be used and enjoyed, and any leftover packaging can be tossed.
Reusable Bags
You can never have too many reusable bags! These bags are made of durable nylon and they fold up to save space. They make great stocking stuffers and the best part is that they’re good for the planet, too!
Reusable Water Bottle
If you know me, you know that I always carry my reusable water bottle everywhere with me. Stanley has a wide color selection for their durable bottles, which are perfect for people who are always on the go.
Packing Cube Travel Set
Avid travelers will love this practical packing cube set! For some, it might even be an unexpected surprise. Maybe they see it as a splurge item that they wouldn’t buy for themselves, but it turns out to be just the thing they need to make packing easier.
TSA-approved Travel Container
Another win for loved ones who like to travel! This container is perfect for storing toiletries and other small items that could get lost in transit. It is TSA-approved, which will help travelers ensure smooth sailing through security checkpoints.
Camera Bag Backpack
This backpack is the perfect gift for amateur and professional photographers alike. It will help them keep all of their photography gear protected and together in one place, so they always know just where to find it.
Digital Picture Frame
Cutting down on clutter doesn’t mean that you have to throw away your memories. A digital picture frame is a great space-saving gift, especially for travelers, families, and couples, who want to save sentimental items without storing bulky photo albums.
Multi-colored Permanent Markers
Consider adding a little color to your loved one’s life with this collection of permanent markers in assorted colors. They come in handy for labeling and organizing, craft projects, and more.
Label Maker
This label maker has become a staple in my household. It’s especially useful for busy families who could use a little extra help getting organized at home. They can use it to label anything and everything – from kids’ toys and school supplies to food containers in the pantry or fridge.
Desktop Organizer
If you’re looking for the ultimate clutter-free gift, why not choose one that helps loved ones create order out of chaotic clutter? Most people who work from home will appreciate a desktop organizer. This one comes in a variety of fun color choices to match any office decor.
