Mindful & Meaningful Gift Ideas for the Holidays!

Mindful and Meaningful Gift Ideas that Everyone will LOVE… even your kids!

There is a great article on Medium about Minimalist Giving and more Mindful giving and so it got me to thinking… I love giving gifts but I am fully aware that “stuff” is starting to take over our lives. I know… this coming from a Gift Guide site. I want you to buy. Yes, I do. But not mindless buying… but mindful buying.

  1. I wrote a Resource Guide on living the Minimalist Life. You can download it here for free. No email necessary. Share it with others if you find it helpful… or leave me a comment and tell me what you think.
  2. Here are some cool links if after reading the article on Medium, you become interested in learning more about the 100 things challenge. (I do NOT recommend you start there. I suggest you start slower and smaller)

Buying things you really love, value or find beautiful or useful are the best ways to spend your money and give gifts. I stress consumables, edibles and experiences as the ultimate in gift-giving. I give gifts out of love being very mindful of the recipient, as I want the gifting experience to always be special and not boring or taken for granted.

Also, as much as I love shopping, I hate useless stuff. If it doesn’t bring you (or them) joy and instead more “stuff” stresses you out- it defeats the purpose. So with that in mind… here are my top picks and ideas for mindful and meaningful giving… for this holiday and every holidays. This list of gifts are timeless!
