Minimalism and holiday gifting – two things that, on the surface, don’t seem to go together, right? I wouldn’t be so sure…
As someone who is very conscientious about physical items in the home AND a big supporter of small businesses, I like to think outside the box when it comes to gifting.
Here are some of my favorite recommendations as a minimalist gifter!

- The Gift | Downtown Dollars
For Who | Your Mother-in-Law, Your Boss, That Friend
Downtown Dollars is the perfect gift for that someone in your life who is, let’s say, ‘particular’. They usually have a list in hand and know *exactly* what they want. Downtown Dollars gives them the opportunity to do just that – get what they want! Bonus points if you make a special day of it with them!
- The Gift | Joshua Wilton Gift Certificate

For Who | Your Sister or Brother’s Family, Friends with KidsAs a proud Auntie myself, I can whole-heartedly say that an annual membership to the Explore More Children’s Museum is invaluable. We are so lucky to have this fantastic resource, right in the heart of downtown. It’s the perfect place to spend time with the little ones that…have a lot of energy!

Okay, now this gift is for the ultimate overachiever. For the gifter that says, ‘You’re not getting just ONE gift!’.
