Gifting with an eye towards organization & kindness

Brainstorming holiday presents? Here are a few gift options, all of which are kind to you, your budget, & the planet.
​Each idea also reduces clutter, either directly—like giving your used clothing to seasonal drives—or indirectly: e.g., event tickets don’t take up space or require gift wrapping.
Consider giving:
  • ​Time. Offer to watch a friend’s kids or walk their dog, so your pal can have some “me” time without having to pay a babysitter. You could even make fun, personalized “gift certificates” for them to redeem.
  • Electronic gift cards. Skip the plastic card and reduce environmental waste!
  • Donations, perhaps in a loved one’s honor. Pick a charity the recipient would find meaningful and give an amount you can afford. You can request that the charity notify the recipient by email, rather than postal mail, to save paper.
  • Gently used winter clothes & accessories, to charitable drives for low-income people. Gifts aren’t just for family, friends, and people you know personally!
  • A shared experience with your loved one: support the arts by purchasing tickets to local dance, music, theatre, or other performances. If you’re not sure where to start, try the nearest community college: it likely has a performing arts department or group. Buy museum memberships and check out exhibits together. Contact the animal shelter to see what they need (food? beds?), buy it, and play with the animals when you drop it off!
Happy gifting!

Reclaim your space with Streamlined by Steven!

Kitchen and dining tables can feel especially intimidating to tackle by yourself. These surfaces become resting spots for many varied items—mail, bills, bags, snack containers, homework, holiday cards... It's easy to overlook time-sensitive papers on a busy table--let alone actually use the table to do something fun!

I can help you create a customized, self-sustaining system to keep the table organized.
​
I love helping you create a pleasant dining area, always ready for:
  • self-care with tea and your favorite book
  • spontaneous take-out and hanging out with friends
  • candlelit dinner with a significant other
  • hosting a neighbor and creating community
  • [your dream here!]

Your space should be soothing and support your dreams. You deserve it!
