No More Gifts! Families Maxed Out with Gift Clutter

We all receive them, gifts we do not like, do not want, or need. Years ago, someone gave me a moose business card holder. The person who gave me this gift thought as a business owner I could use a place to display my business cards. Maybe she liked wildlife themed décor or maybe she was regifting it because she did not like it herself. Either way, I accepted the gift gracefully and never used it. No doubt we have all been in this situation.

One of our GO Organizers asked me for my advice on “How to handle gifts when you and your kids are maxed out.” It can be a challenge to find the balance between being grateful for the thought and offending family and friends by telling them not to give you any more gifts. I offer you some suggestions that may not eliminate the unwanted gift clutter, but it will certainly help you make better decisions about what you receive.
