"Clutter-Free Gifts" for Christmas

I heard a commercial on the radio for Once Upon a Child yesterday. Sell your gently used toys to us to make way for your new Christmas toys.

Christmas can be a time where we add to the clutter of our home just because you are supposed to give a toy to a child for Christmas!

An idea that I came across was ideas for

"Clutter-Free Gifts".

I have a few in mind for my husband. :)

Here are some ideas:

Museum membership

Sporting events tickets

Gym membership

Hotel stay

Special dinner out

Baby Sitting

(This is a great item to do for friends or families in your church. It is free and they will love it!)

Massage

Spa

Nail Salon

Coffee or tea

Flowers

Lessons of their interest - Cooking, Photography, Computer, Golf, Singing, Instrument, Dance

Family Portraits

Restaurant gift card

Movie passes

Activity such as ice skating, skiing, horseback riding

Zoo membership

Magazine subscription

*You can get great deals through sites like Groupon, Living Social, Deal Chicken and more for items just like this. They can use it when they want."

Get creative and think of your own "Clutter-Free Gifts"!
