Have you checked all your gift giving off your list? I have to admit that I haven’t started. I often do not start shopping until the week before Christmas. Did your mouth just drop? HA! It’s funny because most people can’t believe that I wait 7 days before Christmas to shop. There are two main reasons:

First, Shopping is crazy and I don’t dare fight people over gifts.

Secondly, I try to be intentional and thoughtful in my gift giving.

Let’s talk about the second point because I think this is really important and sometimes forgotten. I think that the act of gifting during the holiday season can be completely overwhelming…

How do you choose who to gift?

How do you fit it into your budget?

I can count like 15 people off the top of my head that I want to gift something amazing too. These people helped me get through the year, shared in my success, and supported me through struggles- of course I want to gift them something amazing so I really give ALOT of thought into my gifts.

One important thing I try to ask with every gift selection is, “Do I like this and think it would be a good gift” or “I think the person would love/need this and I’m happy to gift this.”

Understanding what someone wants/needs is a kind thought of gift giving. Sometimes we may not know and just buy “something”, “anything”. We just want to have something wrapped to hand over. But, have you ever opened a gift that you thought, “hmmm. It’s so nice this person gave this to me, but what the heck am I going to do with it??”. Honestly, I don’t think that is mean at all because sadly those gifts will be thrown away or stuffed in a closet causing clutter.

So if you have a few people on your list that you are struggling to find a gift for, check out these 7 awesome gifts that are clutter free and everyone will love!! You can feel good that your gift will be used and that your money was used to give an intentional and useful gift!

1. Organization Supplies

There are so many fun things to gift that can help someone organize. Some of my favorite things are jewelry organizers. For the ladies, a necklace holder or earrings organizer is always a favorite (if they don’t have it already). For men, if they have a collection of watches or cufflinks, they will love having a way to organize them all. Check out the Container Store for some amazing options!!

2. Amazon Firestick

Do you know someone on your list who is pretty specific but still a lover of relaxing and watching some TV shows? This is an easy and really affordable option to gift and you can even toss in a few months of a netflix membership, popcorn, and a list of your favorite shows for them to binge watch. :] Mine include White Collar, Stranger Things, Reign, and Prison Break!!

3. Apps, Apps, and More Appsss!!

Did you know you can gift an app? Literally there is an app for everything. Surely that someone who is difficult to shop for hasn’t discovered one of your hands-down FAVORITE apps! Do they have a passion for something like cooking? Gift an amazing cooking app!!! If they are obsessed with photography, gift a few of the top $$ photo editing apps!

4. Charitable Giving!

This idea I am just in love with. And many others are talking about the same thing. Take JustAGirlAndHerBlog for instance. She provides so many great examples of businesses that gift someone in need when you gift someone you love. One charity I learned about is World Vision. You can choose to gift a farm animal like a goat or chicken or even a cow. It’s amazing how one of these animals creates a ripple effect for a positive life change for these people. My sister-in-law is someone who always asks for a gift to charity instead of something for herself. Either way, I’m changing someone’s life this year!

5. Amazon Gift Card!

Who doesn’t love amazon?? Um….everyone loves Amazon. Give the gift of someone being able to select something they want or need. They will definitely love this, hands down!

6. Massage Gift Card!!

I LOVEEEEEE massages. Anhtuan and I get a couples massage once a month. It helps us reset and set aside some well deserved R&R. Massages can run someone anywhere from $50-$100 after tip so it’s a real treat to get one. Thanking someone for all their hard work and asking them to do some relaxation(sponsored by you) will be something they will love!

7. Coffee. Coffee. Did I mention Coffee??

Where are all my coffee lovers??? I think most all of my friends are coffee lovers just like I am! There are so so so many really amazing coffee bean brands out there. If someone on your list is hard to shop for, purchase an adorable coffee mug with a bag or two of beans and vualá.

I hope this helps you in your final weeks of gift giving!
