A Slob Comes Clean

488: Gifts Plus Decluttering


Listen Later

I’m answering questions around the theme of dealing with gifts while you’re actively decluttering your home!

  • Do you have any tips for dealing with gifts? After every holiday, I end up with a pile of items in the garage that were given with love, but I have no use for or room for.
  • What do you do with very personalized gifts you don't want to keep? They're too nice to throw away but it feels weird to donate.
  • How do I declutter items my son made as gifts for me that I no longer like. My son still lives with me, they are displayed in the living area and I don't want to hurt his feelings but would love to re-decorate this space.
  • What do I do when “gifts” (receiving & giving) is the love language of everyone in my household?
  • I *tried* to do an alternative to gifts this year. Joke's on me, hubby still bought everyone gifts, kids still bought everyone gifts, apparently Mom is a Grinch trying to steal Christmas.
  • My mother in law knows how far we've come decluttering and simplifying and she knows I usually say no to most items she offers. What do I do with these highly sentimental gifts we never wanted?
  • I’m having a hard time getting rid of gifted Christmas ornaments — even when I know they haven’t made it on the tree in the past few years.
