| 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? | Cash, it never expires like gift cards AND you can spend it at any place you like, even split it between 2 or 3 businesses. I HATE gift cards. I have thrown away at least $1000 worth of gift cards over the years because they either expired or were for places I don't use. I accompany the cash with a nice personalized letter. The problem that many gift givers have is that they give gifts THEY would like to receive and it may not be what the recipient would like. Even if it is a store they like, they either have to spend additional money of their own, or leave money on the card. It's a scam smart businesses came up with so people would think it was a "personalized" gift. Sorry, that is a sore spot with me. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | How do you deal with an object you REALLY like and is useful and beautiful but was given to you by someone who abused and mistreated you? Every time you look at it, it brings up painful memories, but yet the object is something you would have bought for yourself because it is so beautiful. |
