Giving Differently This Christmas

Have you noticed — Americans have too much crap?

I am one of them.

Every year I rack my brain — HOW can I be part of the change when gifting? I want to get back to the basics — simple, inexpensive, not store-bought.

Let’s brainstorm.

  • Experiences: theatre tickets, coffee date, invite to a free museum.
  • My friend made Kahlua one year, bottled in simple colored jar, and distributed to friends.
  • I’ve thought about dry ingredients I can add to jars with a recipe…cookies maybe?
  • Buy small pots and add my plant cuttings, maybe Pothos and Aloe.
  • Like the picture above — I like to use Kraft paper to wrap items, then folks can recycle the paper. I get my rolls from the Dollar Store and look up ideas on Pinterest.

Do you struggle with this? How are you curating your giving game?
