61 Minimalist Gift Ideas
Here are 61 minimalist gift ideas for everyone in your life. Why add more clutter to the world? When I first started decluttering I thought I would never buy anything ever again. The thought of unwanted gifts stressed me out, but luckily there is an alternative.
Americans spend a lot of money on gifts, the average American spends $832 on holiday gifts, and the sad thing is a lot of these gifts go in the trash! 31% of people regift the presents they receive and 4% actually throw them away.
This sounds horrible, but it can be fixed with the gift of experience.
Here are 61 Clutter-Free Gift Ideas for the Minimalist in your life:

The Gift of Classes

Consumable Gifts For Christmas
As a minimalist, I love a gift that I can use up! This type of gift is very appreciated, I know my kids love getting toothpaste in their stockings LOL.
- Cookies
- Candy
- Coffee
- Starbucks gift card
- Target Gift card
- Home Depot Gift card
- Any Gift Card
- Soap
- Lotion
- Candles
- Cleaning supplies
One gift that everyone can use is money. It sounds crazy, but I normally give a card with money to most kids for their birthdays. This way they can choose whatever they want or they can save their money for something special. We have started a savings account for both of our boys and any time they receive money it goes straight into their accounts for their future.
I hope some of these clutter-free gift ideas can inspire you to find the right gift for your family and friends.
