Acts of Service Gift Ideas

Giving the gift of our time is truly invaluable because time is a finite resource that we will never get back. The recipient of such a gift knows this and the gift of acts of service becomes a treasured gift.
 
  1. Cook a meal
  2. Breakfast in bed
  3. Date night out
  4. Volunteer your time to charity or organization

Consumable Clutter Free Gifts

Sharing delight and joy in the form of a consumable item is a popular and easy way to share clutter free gifts. I especially like this type of gift because you are introduced to something new or get exposure to a new type of food that gives you a new food experience.  You might even score extra brownie points by sharing a homemade consumable. This feels extra special because the sender took their time and energy to prepare a favorite food.

Digital Gift Ideas

Digital gift ideas are a unique and special way to share knowledge in the form of a virtual event or course.  With many still working from home or keeping close to home base, opting out of travel for conferences or events, a digital clutter free gift is a great option. Don’t forget that sharing a digital form of a traditionally physical gift is the alternative that many seek in this digital age such as an ebook.
 
  1. Digital course
  2. Digital financial planner
  3. Digital letter to loved one
  4. Digital magazine
  5. Digital photo book
  6. Digital photo calendar

  8. Ebook

Experience Clutter Free Gifts

One of my all time favorite types of gifts is an experience gift. It’s the perfect way to give gifts without clutter. An experience gift is so fitting for someone like me because quality time is one of my love languages. If you know anyone who also enjoys quality time with the ones they love and care about, gifting an experience gift will act as a double gift; the gift itself and the gift of sharing the experience with you! It’s a win-win situation!

Education Clutter Free Gifts

As a life long learner, any opportunity to learn something new is fun and exciting to me. The gift of knowledge works really well for those on your list who love to try new things or have an existing hobby that requires funding.  Lessons and class packages are a hit with grandparents too who want to splurge on their grandkids, but also want there to be an education and experience component to the gift.
 
  1. Art lessons
  2. Cooking classes
  3. Dancing lessons
  4. Golf lessons
  5. Karate lessons
  6. Painting lessons
  7. Pottery classes
  8. Sewing classes
  9. Swimming lessons
  10. Workout classes
  11. Yoga classes

Gift Cards and Money as Clutter Free Gifts

Cold hard cash in the form of plastic is completely acceptable in the digital age that we are now operating within.  Many might even prefer this option because it eliminates the extra task of returning an item that the recipient didn’t want when gifted with a physical item.  Also, there are considerations for those who are sharing gifts overseas. Sending a physical gift might be cumbersome and the cost alone may not be justified. In these situations a cash gift may be optimal and even preferred.
 
  1. Coffee gift card
  2. Restaurant gift card
  3. Spa gift card
  4. Cash gift card
  5. Financial gift in your name

Membership Clutter Free Gifts

Many of us have reoccurring expenses and likely have a subscription or two to digital apps that we love and use every single day. How special would it be to receive a fully paid for annual membership to your favorite streaming service or your favorite coffee club membership. Best of all, each and every time you use the service or membership you will remember where the gift came from.
