With Christmas approaching, some of us dread the idea that yet more clutter is going to enter our house in the form of presents. But this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. Quite often we get what we wish for, so why not put things on your wish list that are not actually “things”.
Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing: presents to wish for or to give to your loved ones (since of course you don’t want them to drown in clutter either).
- Voucher for a “Meal Out” at your favourite restaurant
- Cinema ticket
- Theatre/Concert tickets
- Voucher for “services” to offer such as
- babysitting
- cleaning
- decluttering
- walking the dog
- house sitting
- DIY
- washing/valeting the car
- Voucher for a “Girly Day Out”
- Voucher for a “Boys’ Weekend Away”
- A Massage
- A Facial
- A Spa Day
- Any holistic treatment such as Reiki
- Adventure Days
- A cooking course
- Promise to be an Exercise Buddy
- Membership to a Club
- Weekend Break
- Offer a kid’s sleepover at your house so that the parents get to spend some “couple time”
- Charity Donation for particular cause (Oxfam do “un-wrapped” presents – the recipient receives a card and a simple fridge magnet showing what was given in his/her behalf)- (Save the Children have a Wishlist programme doing the same with Children’s gifts)
- If you’re good at cooking, offer to be the Chef for a night (maybe for a dinner party or just so, for their family)
- Mobile phone top-up
- I-tunes vouchers
- Apps for i-phone
- Music lessons
- Driving lessons
- Any lessons
- or how about the ultimate present: give the gift of decluttering - Well Organised Gift Vouchers
