The holidays are coming up soon and most people have already begun shopping for Christmas and Hanukkah gifts.
We want to give things that people will really like of course, but let’s face it…
If the person you are giving a gift to is Organizationally Gifted and they don’t love what you gave them, they will either throw it out, re-gift it, donate it, or it will end up on a garage sale table.
If you are giving to an organizationally challenged person, you are just cluttering up their lives with more stuff.
DON’T DO IT! They will agonize over getting rid of it, or it will just become more white (clutter) noise in their home. Or it will be something else they own shoved somewhere out of the way contributing to their feeling like they can’t win!
If you are going to give a gift why not consider cash, or gift certificates, or an experience? You can be really creative with giving cash and I have one example of how I did it!
I did this several years ago and it was so fun!
I got the idea from a dvd that Pam Young offered called, “Everybody Loves Money”

Thank you, this was so cute. Remind your son how much energy is wasted when you get mad. When I was young, my mother remarried and I didn’t like him much for many reasons, but I remember he would not allow me to be in a bad mood in the mornings. He said it affected everyone else’s day. At the time, it irritated me but now I bless him for it. Not the same thing as your son but you get the point.
Hi Gayle 🙂 Thanks for leaving a comment. He’s mellowed with time… Love your step fathers advice and your willingness to see it even though you had differences. I appreciate you <3
Thanks for sharing that with me Gayle! I will be sure to tell him 🙂
