What if your budget is small? I feel the need to add more on a gift card than I would prefer to spend.
@TheMinimalMom thank you for sharing all these great ideas! I’m feeling a little less stressed, really!
@@Michelle-by9fpI either go with a coffee shop, where $5 or $10 is reasonable… or if it’s for a restaurant, you could do $15-$20 as a help with a meal out, not necessarily to pay for the entire meal. Also, you could add a like-new tree ornament (that you declutter) along with a small gift card… or pair the gift card with something you bake at Christmas time, a mini loaf of friendship bread, or a few cookie bars or brownies.. just brainstorming ❤
OK Dawn - WHAT is the TEA you showed??????? I didn't see it named or listed anywhere. Help!
Where did you get the drill and battery organizer for Tom?
Hubby and I have decided to have no presents this year. We are minimalists and really dont need anything. Our kids are grown up and spending it with their partners families. I've done years of hosting, cooking and present buying. This year is going to be amazing, pj's all day and a TV dinner, no Christmas shopping stress. I might even stay in bed all day watching you tube. Total bliss.😊
We did this last year for the first time. I did 25 years of having everyone from both families for breakfast. 24 people. Then had single relatives for Christmas dinner too. My circumstances changed and last year me and my two adult children decided to have Italian and stay in pjs all day! It’s was sooooo goood! 😂. Doing the same again this year!😊
Sounds blissful. Except maybe the TV dinner 😂 Though after many years, I'm not hosting an extended family traditional dinner. 😅
We started doing no gifts in 2020. It is so liberating. We donate to some of our favorite charities instead
Sounds amazing!!!!😂❤
Dawn - I am like you -- I am very happy without gifts - but my husband loves gifts. 😬
When our two boys were littles, we limited their Christmas gifts to three a piece.🌲 Something they needed, something they wanted, and something small. I explained to them that the wise man gave the baby Jesus three gifts and that's why they were receiving three gifts.🎁 We also supported a Haitian child, so the boys got to pick out something special for him and we always did the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoe Box. They really enjoyed shopping for others. To celebrate the baby Jesus' birth, we usually made a small birthday cake for him.🎂 They are grown men now with families of their own and they still think about others before themselves. Blessings everyone!💗
@@MegInASheathDress Maybe it was a typo, not everyone is perfect
We did the same! And still do. I’ve never regretted it.
get a life!@@BroccoliFiles
❤❤❤
I budgeted and saved all year for Christmas gifts this year, but after many years of my husband trying to get me to do no gifts…I am finally giving in this Christmas. I was in tears at first, especially because I saved all year, but now I am seeing more freedom and joy in the Christmas season. We spoke to our children who are 18-23 and to our surprise were completely on board with this decision. One said, heck yeah I am down with that, and another said this is actually a gift in itself and decided to tell her in-laws that they are also choosing to do no gifts this year and the in-laws are following suit. That one surprised me. 😊 Our parents also respected our choice this year without any complaints. I am thinking we may have started a whole new tradition deeper and wider than we ever imagined.
When you showed the children's cookbook, it reminded me that I have a Betty Crocker cookbook for children from my childhood (I'm 66!) and still use it.
I love kids cookbooks, so straight forward! 😂
I just used my Betty Crocker children's cookbook two days ago and I am 77
@@MegInASheathDress Turns out it's healthier after all!
I love mine & I'm 55.
Consumables are very good gifts that people don’t have to store. Think of their favorite chocolate, coffee, tea, gift cards to a specialty ice cream, lunch place or even grocery stores. These gifts are especially good for seniors.
Consumable gifts are my favorite because they're super easy to put away and after a few weeks everything is back to normal without trying to stuff a bunch of new things into places that don't have room for them (looking at you, toybox 😂)
That is what I always did for my mother. She also loved getting birdseed for her bird feeders as well as the fancy edible bird wreaths, bells, etc. (made of birdseed). She would hang them on her deck and watch the birds while enjoying her morning coffee.
This year, instead of presents, we decided to hire a professional organizer to help us get rid of things and start the new year off on the right foot. We've even limited our budget for other people in order to prioritize our household for 1 year and pay for this. I've even asked my family if they wanted to forgo gifts for me and my husband and help to pay for our endeavor. It's a start.
What a great idea!
This is an awesome idea!!!❤
That's the best idea!!!
Love this!
Love this!! 😍😍
As a teachers wife and former teacher, 😊gift cards are really the best!!!
I've started giving people homemade canned jams for Christmas. It's affordable, consumable, and a surprise because no one expects a millennial to know how to can, haha.
For our gifts, my husband and I asked loved ones for specific gift cards to help pay for date nights and babysitters. We already have everything we want and need, but offsetting the cost of a regular night out during the toddler trench years is truly what we want. People actually seemed happy that we took all the guesswork out for them.
Oh my gosh!!!!! As a homesteader this made me cry. Has that family died yet? probably not. How horrible for you to trash their endless labors and talent!!!!!!! Just awful.
And honey is anti Microorganism. It literally cannot carry bacteria, virus of anything living!!! It will last a lifetime.
How sad you throw this away, as it is probably the best gift you get.
We can't really afford to give gifts, so I make cookies for family instead. They love them and I love baking and gift giving so it's a win-win! Now that we have our daughter, I make a small craft as well. Last year was her footprint on an ornament for her first Christmas. This year I'm doing handprint snowmen!
I shifted to experiences as a gift. Concert or sports or dinner out or whale watching or rafting or paint night or... anything builds relationships and less clutter!
I love practical gifts. If it's something you will truly use, it doesn't become clutter in the corner.
We made the decision and started simplifying Christmas gifts/giving years ago... won't go into all the details of what we do and not do... but I can tell you, it is very very minimal and simple...we are at that point now, in our lives, where it works... it is so lovely and freeing, no expectations, no wasted money, no guilt... Make the decision and STOP...just do it. Period. If you don't stop it now,...you will be still commenting on this channel 5 years from now!
We have a tradition with our family that lives on the other side of our country (Canada) We send a box of little things that are locally made or bought for them to open at the beginning of December. Things you would get at craft markets or local vendors etc. It is really fun to see what is in the box and the kids love the surprise better than another toy or trading money.
One year for my birthday (in December) I received the most wonderful gift that keeps on giving -- a son-in-law! He proposed to my daughter on my birthday. I won't forget that day!
Love this! ❤️
My parents love going to the movies so I've gotten them AMC gift cards for several years now and they love it! Practical, consumable and I know it won't be wasted :)
Those were my favorite growing up❤
I exchange gifts with my sister and we both have wish lists on Amazon so when I select a gift from her list for her it's something she has selected and wants. This has made our gift exchange so easy.
Years ago i made my own gift bags using Christmas fabric from the fabric store. I sewed a long ribbon to the back to tie into a bow. We have used these for YEARS. I rarely buy Christmas wrap anymore. There are so many beautiful and fun designs and patterns to choose from. They store flat in my Christmas boxes and help pad my decor. Plus they make a great gift.
I've honestly been thinking hard the last few years about how excessive Christmas has become in our society. I'm with you Dawn. I'd be happy with a completely no gift Christmas.
As it stands - my husband and I don't buy for each other and my kids are only getting a few gifts.
Hope everyone has a happy and joyful holiday season 🎄❤️
Agreed. If we didn’t have kids, we’d probably skip gifts altogether. 😂 As it is, I’m only getting my husband one thing this year-a daily dad joke calendar he can put on his desk at work. i know that terrorizing his co-workers with terrible puns will bring him joy every day. 🤭
@@Pajali 😂❤️
Last year for my husband (who is a huge car guy) I found photos of all his previous vehicles, or as many as I could and ordered him a custom car calendar. He loved it!
I also have got him a bidet attachment for the toilet and we both enjoy it haha
What a great idea!
Bidet attachments are the BEST
I’m all for Minimalist gift giving💕 I am also trying to be intentional about where I purchase gifts, for example if I can find toys on the Marketplace that are gently used why not help out a person? Also local artisans that are selling handmade goods, ex. pottery, soaps, wooden items such as Cutting boards, crocheted items. Yes, they may cost a little more but most of the time the quality is much better and you are helping out a neighbor. I appreciate Dawns support of Trades of Hope as well. We can make such a difference if we really think through our purchases. Love you all!❤
For several years now we have given our adult son cash for his fishing license and conservation stamp. The fun part is presenting it differently each year. Our son-in-law also enjoys getting cash that he can use for hobbies and personal projects. Again presentation makes it fresh every year. Consider crisp bills as book marks in an appropriate book, or a money machine with bills taped end to end to pull through a slot in a box. 💜🐞
Love this!
Your gift guides are ALWAYS!!!! my favorite! Such practical gifts that are affordable! Everything I've purchased that you've recommended have been a hit! Always appreciate the teen/tween suggestions too and my kiddos are close in age to yours!
I’m so glad to hear this!!
For ideas for men, these are things my husband has loved... ammo (or money / gift cards for ammo); music supplies i.e. guitar strings, amp, speaker components; premium tea and coffee; leather wallet; key organizer; gift certificates or passes for fun things like the shooting range; hunting gear i.e. camo; hiking boots; and cozy things like nice slippers or sweats for around the house
That kids cookbook was a HUGE hit at our house. Our kids have read it at least once a week for over a year! And the recipes they've made have been delicious. (My kids turned 9 in April.)
One thing I've learned: there is no perfect gift for everyone. One friend's daughter (a teacher) ended up with over $100 in Starbucks gift cards, and she does not go there. That being said, I often make "soup in a jar" mixes for several women friends. I feel like I help them get a healthy meal on their table for their families.
My kids school always had teacher wishlists which were so nice to have when it came to birthdays and Christmas. That way teachers who hate Starbucks wouldn't get a $100 in Starbucks cards!
I like to give consumable gifts 🎁. Movie gift cards are big in our family.
Our family is trying to achieve minimalism but something we won’t budge is our yearly road trip so what we have been doing is everyone comes up with a place and pitch their idea of why that place. When we decide we brainstorm if we’ll Airbnb or camp restaurants pit stops. We have a blast and we get a kick out throughout the day
Thanks for the ideas! I was sitting outside of my daughter's preschool last week and one of her friends had a toddler-friendly digital camera. All the kids were super excited about it, taking turns posing and taking pictures with each other. I found them on Amazon for $30 and ordered six for all of the little kids I'm buying for this year. We're a big board game family so I think I'll be picking up Sequence for Kids for our 3 1/2 year old as well.
My daughter has a camera like this and has lots of fun. She's 5. 🙂
The cameras from last year are certainly a favorite. They play with it a lot! Mine are 3.5 and 5 now.
Do you have a website link? That sounds really cute.
Great ideas!!! That tea is amazing!! My family loves that stuff! You can also wrap gifts in a reusable shopping bag. They are usually cheap, pretty and can be reused by the recipient.
last Christmas I got 4 cheese/wood board from 4 different people 😞 I don’t even need 1
I'm right there with you the absolute BEST eyeshadow palette EVER.
The way you sectioned everything out in the description box is amazing and thoughtful. Thank you for your ideas and faith based items as well. New sub!!❤
Great suggestions. Cash and gift cards are my go-to these days. All my children are adults, and all the grandchildren are teens. I stopped using wrapping paper years ago. If I need wrapping for something, I only use gift bags. I only have neutral bags so they can be used on matter the occasion.
That coffee cup is so cute. It could be used for a few things and make your kitchen look cute. I would use it to store coffee grounds or maybe as sugar or creamer container.
The Jasmine Pearl flavor of that tea is one of my favorites!
My husband is getting me a new cookware set, I know some folks may eye roll, but I’m a stay at home, homeschooling, loves to cook momma who has a really flaky old set….so I picked it out and sent it to him. Our 6yr old son always makes him go shopping for me and I get coffee and yarn from him lol.
Hey Dawn! I love your suggestions! I’m the world’s worst shopper, so I especially appreciate your reviews! You actually inspired me to make some gifts especially for minimalists. I’m new at Etsy, and I hesitate to put my Etsy shop link here, but if you are curious about the items that were “Minimal Mom” inspired, let me know! You are amazing and a blessing!
Literally wait every year for Dawns gift guide… thank you Dawn, it never disappoints!!🎄
Dawn, you are simply the best! 🥰 I love your cheerful countenance and attitude as well as the joy you share with us! Your hair looks extra darling, too! You make a big difference, so always remember that! 🎁 I really enjoyed this video about gifts and got some wonderfully neat ideas for different people in my life, for Christmas and birthdays, etc. Thank you so much for doing the legwork to share these recommendations with all of us! 📯 Blessings and love to you and your sweet family, Diana’s too, and your dear parents! Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas season, sharing the love of Jesus, who is indeed our ultimately greatest gift! I love you!! 🌟❤️🎄
Consumables are the best gifts if you have to "gift"
My husband and I haven’t done gifts for each other for over 10 years. Instead, we take a two day trip to a favorite location a state away every single year in early December. We DO get gifts for our daughter and son in law and our granddaughter who is 10. But they do NOT get us gifts at our request. And thanks to you, we are giving fewer and much smarter gifts this year. Lol. Thank you for all these great ideas and have a Blessed day ❤
We do same. Husband & I haven't given gifts for many many yrs. We give to our grown kids & families (but less than before), and have asked they not reciprocate, Works for us.
They are definitely some nice gifts. Not too over the top either. Best list I’ve seen.
For men: some of my most successful: if he is a reader, one of my favorites is an Ex Libris of “from the library of” set of stickers or custom stamp for his books. Also a book weight that keeps the pages open and the book laying flat on a desk. A vintage map of a meaningful place. True Classic tshirts. Some colorful shoelaces to jazz up his shoes. X3 bar travel workout system.
Got some great ideas from you today - thanks! Also, I use a Dollar Store magazine rack/notebook holder for my water bottles - they take up less space when stored vertically. And the gift bags - game changer! I work for a Christmas Families nonprofit and these will make gift wrapping go so much quicker for all the donated gifts we receive for those in need each year.
I love your gift guides videos!! I have become much more thoughtful in how much and what I buy for folks and my family has cut way back on Christmas gifting, which is so nice! My sweet MIL's love language is gifts. She loves to give and get them. I've tried for 21 years to get her to cut back and gift experiences or way fewer gifts, to no avail. I've figured out I have to be very specific with items I'd like to have as well as things I'd like for her to get my kids. It's been difficult, because some years I just don't have anything I want or need. Your gift guides always help me come up with a couple things to ask for as well as things I think she'd find useful! LOVE your channel!!
Even though you kinda of grumble about gift-giving; you always have one of the best gift guides. I love how you know your sister Diana so well and get her the perfect gift each year.❤😊
As for the guys; yes, they are so difficult to buy for.
Some ideas would be to get them things that go along with their interests. For instance; if the are golfers, you could get them, golf balls, a golf kit, a new glove, tees, putting practice greens, etc.
If they are into hiking: hiking boots, socks, backpack, a compass, hand crank radio/flashlight, etc.
If the are into fishing: a new reel or pole, a basket for their catch or cooler or some outdoor cookware.
I think you get the idea 😂
And last, but, not least- gift cards to their favorite restaurant, hobby place, golf range, etc.
I agree with you that the green toys are the best. I am a grandmother and we use them as pool toys. They winter in the garage and are over 10 years old. The kids love them too!
The warm stuffed animals are great for adults too. I have a hippo for myself. Its super nuce for period cramps and even headacheches. Heat packs are super useful and having them in a fun shape makes them better
My daughter made homemade rice bags that are like the grown-up version of the stuffed animals. We all love them.
The cord wraps are GREAT!!! We have many, my husband loves them (and so do I) ?
i buy Christmas material on sale at end of the year and make different sized bags then use ribbon to tie them shut. they last forever
Bonus: those tea tins make cute vessels for faux or dry flower arrangements 👍🏻 I’ve bought the tea just for the pretty tins, although the tea is good too.
My son has that helicopter. He is 12 now and its a toy he said he will never get rid of. He also has the rocket. They both have been with us for 8 years. Highly recommend them as well!
This was an excellent list! Very well curated - I found something for everyone I was still stuck on . Thank you!
This is the best gift guide video I think I've ever watched. I've got six kids of all ages and grandkids to shop for and you gave me SO many good ideas. Thank you!!
Sequence for kids is more fun than the adult version.
Those kids faith books look great.
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas.
Idea for husband: I found that there are grill cleaning services! For a guy who works a lot and isn’t into deep cleaning the grill but likes grilling! 🙂👍
Thank you for sharing! This is the third year my husband gets his Christmas present from your list! We never know what to get him, so my girls and I look forward to your videos for ideas. Last year was the carhart gear. This year we are Goin with the Milwaukee jacket. ☺️
Thank you from a house full of girls!💖
I absolutely love how quickly you went through your presentation. I've watched other UA-camr's presentations and they drag them out to the point of not being helpful. This was awesome! I got so many good ideas! Thank you!
I loved this video and its suggestions. Thanks Dawn. I really appreciate you putting your own non-gift approach to life on hold to let us have your thoughts. 🎉 🎁
I agree with the water bottle. I have that same exact one 😊
Hey Dan, love the suggestion get plenty of us ladies like those power tools
This was great! So helpful. Thanks for sharing! Always love watching your videos.
Very helpful and I look forward to every year!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I think the world of you, my fellow Minnesotan!
Thanks for the lego kit ideas. My boys will like these 😃
Thank you!!! So many great ideas! Merry Christmas 🎄
My husband and I buy for our son but keep things really simple for each other because we just don't need anything. Some years we just fill each others stockings with consumable products (treats, toiletries, etc.) and that's it, while other years we will do maybe one or two gifts each. Sometimes I will just buy my own gift and wrap it and put it under the tree lol. For example, my husband needed slippers last year so I bought myself a pair as well. This year I bought him a few much needed shirts and that's it. I keep asking him what he wants but he just says he doesn't need anything or he will treat himself to a new book. We will do Christmas with extended family earlier in the month but it will be just the three of us for Christmas. We will enjoy watching our son open gifts, eat good food and just enjoy spending time together.
I'm doing gifts for the kids and experiences for the grown ups. We are lucky and don't really need anything new. ❤
thanks dawn! we're doing secret santa for the first time this year, not only are we trying to be more mindful of spending but also the amount of things we bring into our home. im also doing small stocking stuffers so no one feels left out
My sister decided, one year when her kids were still young, to not have gifts. Instead they donated money to a charity. The hospital gift shop where I worked had $5 beanie babies. I got one for each of my nieces and nephews. You would have thought I gave them the best thing ever.
My mom got my boys nail kits last year and it’s been one of the gifts ever!
I love hearing about all your Christian book suggestions Dawn. We have nowhere local to shop for things like this so always great getting suggestions from others and being able to look inside or hear a bit about them and then shop on line with confidence.
We have the green toys that you showed and my boys have LOVED them for 2 years now! Thanks for that recommendation!
Bamboo sheets are the BEST for the elderly and someone who is very ill or has tactile sensitivities.
Bless you Dawn. You have just SIMPLIFED all my Christmas shopping!
I’ve seen so many “gift idea” videos and yours by far is the BEST! Thank you for sharing 😃
Wow! Love these! Thank you!
I'll have to rewatch and take lots of screen shots! Thanks for the help!
I liked what Diana is getting. Great ideas 💡. I appreciate you sharing. Will rewatch and take notes 📝
One of my kiddos legit said “I want experiences this year for Christmas.” 😱😁
Thank you for sharing! I have been slowly thinking of gifts throughout the years, and making an online note for the individual, even if it's something homemade or frugal. I am not anywhere close to living as a minimalist,, but I greatly enjoy watching your channel. Baby steps to a decluttered mind and home
How amazing is dawn!? Truly. Thank you Dawn for all your videos. 🎉🎉❤
I would be totally fine with it. Camping and experiencing adventures together with our grown children and grandchildren throughout the year would be plenty!
😊 I had a hard time thinking of ideas on my list for our family Giftster list for the others to shop from for me. I did finally think of inexpensive items. But, I really want to downsize my hobby supplies.
I told my husband that I'd like to consider no gifts between us, since we just added a new puppy to our household this past summer, (and a new to us pop up camper a few years ago!)
I did lower my budget for everyone, and left more in savings. My Hubby will be getting a new shirt and a gift card for his Christmas Eve eve birthday, though. 😏
Thank you- so helpful. I’m on your side Dawn! I don’t like buying for others cause the thought gives me anxiety- just the thought that I’ve bought the wrong thing. I’m also don’t care for receiving gifts as I’m downsizing and buy for myself what I want. Holidays are a stress to me for just those reasons.
I like, no, LOVE, everything minimalist! Here in America we stress over what we’re giving everyone, and actually everyone has too much already! I am a practical person and since I’m now retired, my budget is not the same, so, very, very few people will be receiving gifts, and they will be practical gifts that can really be used!
I really enjoy your channel!
Great ideas! Thank you.
These are such great ideas! Thank you Dawn! Everything I watch from you helps my life!
great gift ideas!
I'd love to see a minimal garage video!!
Love this and love you!! Thank you for the awesome ideas!!
Great video! Lots of good gift ideas.
Perfect timing!
Oh my gosh Dawn! I feel like this video was made specifically for me. I needed ideas for almost everyone in my life. And almost everything you talked about is so ideal for someone I'm thinking of! Thank you!
Possibly my favorite gift guide I've seen all year! Thanks for the great ideas!
Before watching this video, I got that cookbook for my 10 year old grandson. I think he’ll love it.
I bought some of the Green Toys for my grandkids last year - they love them!
I took my owala water bottle to Disney --- it was the best thing I purchased for my trip. Easily went into my sling backpack and does not leak. You can tip the bottle to drink or has a built-in straw. The flip handle on the bottle allow for you to carry it as well. I highly recommend this product!
Kinetic sand and Magnet tiles are absolute favorites! Dollar tree always has little sand toys which work perfect for kinetic sand to keep in a box.
I love my "Chronological Life Application study Bible". It has made study time easy... The commentary relates to current times and makes all the scripture applicable like I never thought possible. The maps surprisingly help also. I'd suggest this for late teens thru 200 years old!
Stanley Smanley 😂 I love owala and I’ve got the white and gray LOVE!!!
