| 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? | It's a lovely silky dress, I received from my granddaughters. I knew they went to a pretty fancy thrift shop for school clothes. It made me sad I couldn't be with them as I had done for many yrs. It pleased me so they had carried the thought of me with them. I wore the bright flowered (synched at the waist) knee length dress just a few times. However each time I felt like a million bucks, both from the inside & out. I now longer wear the dress. With added belly fat, the dress hangs in the back of my closet. My daughter their mom & I are not as close as we were at that time, Therefore, the girls & I are not allowed the opportunity to be together as often as we'd like. Our relationships have changed, my body has changed. Perhaps I'm holding on to the dress, as a since of some control, but I believe it's there because represents HOPE. |
| 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 still give framed photo prints. A 4x6 (or a bit larger) of a special event, person or pet. Its cost effective for me & takes no space hung on the wall. |
