074: What if I Don't Want This Gift?


Listen Later

Have you ever struggled with what to do with gifts that are given to you or your kids and you don’t want? It could be because it’s something you don’t like, or maybe it doesn’t fit, and you can’t return it. Whatever the reason, there are many occasions when we don’t want to bring an item into our home, especially when we are on a decluttering journey.

In this episode, Diana shares how she handles unwanted gifts while still being grateful to well-intentioned gift-givers.

We’ll also discuss:

  • Storing a portion of toys for younger kids to play with later.
  • Your kid's toys are a byproduct of being loved and cared about.
  • There isn’t a timeline for gratitude.
  • Ways to handle when a giver asks about a gift you donated.

What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?

  • 15-20 minute episodes to help you tackle your to-do list
  • How to declutter in an effective and efficient way
  • Guest interviews
  • Deep dives on specific topics
