MINIMALISM AND GIFTS | Receiving and Decluttering

Minimalism and Gifts | Receiving and Decluttering. The social culture of gift giving can be a tough one to navigate as a minimalist. Because we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, and we so appreciate someone taking time and money to buy us a present. On the other hand, we also don’t want to have all kinds of items in our home, that we’re only keeping around because we got them as a present.

So, what to do with this potentially awkward situation? How do we make sure people don’t give us unwanted surprise gifts? And what do we do with those presents we still keep around, because we feel guilty getting rid of them? Let’s talk about it!!

Lots of love,
