Survey #271—Full Response from Sunny
| Pronouns | She/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? | A recipe box with blank recipe cards from a friend. It is very pretty and I think I will use it one day. |
| 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? | Depends on the recipient. For some who drink I put together ingredients for a cocktail with the recipe. For example, if sangria I will use a wrapped box with no lid (flaps removed), use shredded paper and arrange red wine, triple sec, club soda, and an orange, apple, and lemon. I like gift cards to nurseries since I love to garden, or flower and veg seed packs. |
| 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. | CDs! I have over 100 music CDs, yet our 5-disc CD player has been broken for years. I keep thinking that there is a way to digitally transfer songs to a device but have no idea how to do that. And the CDs are housed in a large tower that spins on a lazy Susan base. I have a boom box but never play CDs anymore but struggle to part with them. Ideas on how to handle this? |
| Future topics | -Deep storage: crawl space and basement -Declutter-Along. Walk us through a small decluttering project. We can work on it as we listen to you guide us. -Days of Old. How to update your belongings with who you are today. (No longer entertaining big groups, no longer exchanging a lot of gifts—gift wrap collection can go, etc.) |
