You know what's great for minimalist gift giving? Moving during December.
If you want to be all minimalist-y (that is a word, right?) during Christmas time - because nothing brings out the holidays quite like being a minimalist - then just move during the month of December.
Super simple, right?
Just kidding, but this may be what
has been going through my head lately. Along with, "shouldn't we just paint the dining room BEFORE we move?" Believe me, it needs it. (It's between a deep dusty rose and terra-cotta and screams 1996.)
But seriously, I love gift giving, it's my love language. But as I strive to be more eco-friendly, physical gifts aren't really my love language anymore.
And moving, and realizing how much stuff we collect over the years, has emphasized how much I prefer giving experiences over physical gifts. (See graphic below for ideas for giving experiences this Christmas).
I especially enjoy giving experiences when I get to enjoy it with the receiver (meaning time to connect with the person). Wait a second...maybe my love language is quality time. And, let's be honest, I'm a little selfish like that. It comes naturally, I'm an only child.
Ideas for experiences can be harder to come up with, so I created this graphic to inspire you. I'll be posting it on social, so if you like it, please share!
I hope you are enjoying all the things this holiday season!
