Survey #271—Full Response from Cynthia
| 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 jewelry box that I received for being a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding. I had it for over 50 years and it was still in good shape. It had held many things over the years. Since I only have boys I figured that no one would want it when I am gone. |
| 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 actually like Amazon gift cards. I load them on my account and something always comes up that I need in the fire. I toss the card as soon as I load it. I like to give restaurant gift cards because they are easy to send and I don’t have to box them up to send. |
| 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. | I hear people say that they never miss items they donate but I remember and wonder if I did the right thing. Am I the only one who does this? |
