Stress-free giving starts with a plan and this year, I’ve done the heavy lifting for you. As a professional organizer, I believe gifts should be both intentional and functional: items people will actually use, enjoy, and want to keep. I also have 4 kids (ages 9-17) and have definitely learned through the years what gifts continue to get played with and used and which ones add to clutter in the home.
One evening it’s October 30th and you’re going to sleep thinking about buying candy for trick or treaters and one last thing for a kid’s costume, and the next morning you wake up and it is December 1? Just like that, the holiday season you were hoping for has flown out the window before it even began.
