Got Gift Guilt?

Have family and friends given you gifts you don't like/use/want? Happens to everyone! Don't feel guilty--return/exchange the item for something you DO want or will use. You can also donate, sell or re-gift the item. Write them a thank you note and it will help ease your guilt.


Best Gifts to Get that Don't Add Clutter:

-Gift Certificates/Cards for Restaurants, Massage, Local Day Spa, etc.
-Simply ask them what they really want and if it's a big item, chip in towards that item.
-Forego gifts that have a lot of pieces to them.
-Forego the ever usual kitchen gadgets, bathroom spa sets (think lotions, perfumes, lofa basket), decor items, and other things that people tend to already have too much of.
-Stay away from the clothes racks--guessing colors, sizes, fit, style, etc is too hard and best left up to the individual person to go shopping.
-Create a Personalized Photo Coffee Table Book with Digital Uploads on Shutterfly.com!
