PronounsShe/her
Think about an item that you received as a gift and have struggled to part with. What factors—thoughts, feelings, memories, stories, beliefs, etc.—make (or made) it difficult for you to decide to let this item go?I struggle with guilt. The person really thought I would use it, and I should. I just won't and I feel really bad about it. What if they come over and they don't see it - ugh!
What’s your favorite clutter-conscious gift to give (for example: gift cards; event tickets; food, drinks, or other consumables; subscriptions; and so on), and why? What’s your favorite clutter-conscious gift to receive, and why?I like to take people to dinner or lunch - my treat. I get to spend time with my family and friends, and nobody has to feel guilty about getting rid of a gift. I like to receive the same gift. Such a joy that I know twice a year that I will get some one-on-one time with a person I care about.

I am so tired of hearing "I can't believe you are not saving that". Of course, they don't want it either.
