7 Minimalist Gift Giving Ideas

[@pbowy]

1. Give experiences (vacation, concert ticket, message and spa) 2. Classes (yoga, cooking) 3. Book/ E-book/ Audiobook subscription 4. Consumable and fluid (Restaurant,wine) 5. Make it yourself (memorial clibs) 6. Charities 7. Times to your beloved

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

You are so right about buying gifts. The joy of giving has been replaced with anxiety and stress. We want to give the right gifts without going into debt. This can consume a lot of our time and energy during a season which is suppose to be filled with joy and love. Add to this hosting parties, cooking, baking and decorating on top of our daily work schedule and chores and it can be a very stressful time of year.

Thanks for the comment, Debbie! Love to hear different stories from others. Indeed, it is a very stressful time of the year.

[@josefinarazazi]

I love how honest you are in regarding to have "loved" a gift in the past just because it was branded and acknowledge that it was materialistic. What a great journey

[@jaminxc143]

I am a huge fan of everything you have to say and how you portray your messages. Please don't ever stop. -your most grateful fan

[@CKSPACE]

That's far too kind, appreciate the nice comment! Will continue to work on more.

[@lenievillanueva9156]

Im starting to watch all your videos. Im from philippines and i love all your content. It inspires me a lot.keep it up

[@mshc952]

This year again, I noticed that I am very stressed until Christmas season. I Think a lot of about what gifts do I buy for other people. I Dont want to gift random material stuff. I want to share experience, time and only things that are important and useful. This video is very inspiring! :)

[@CKSPACE]

Being intentional can be difficult but it makes the gifts meaningful and useful. Thanks for the nice comment Marc, grateful for it!

[@HosCreates]

This is great, Sharing! I like getting consumables like makeup and skin care I love or favorite treats. Another great is pampering. A chiropractor, a pedicure etc.. alot of us want to do it but don't often have money so a gift card for a spa is nice.

[@chloeray]

This is my first Christmas as a minimalst. I've never been a huge gift giver. I've always found it a strange burden. I DO love giving meaningful and usable gifts, it's one of my ways of showing love, but I fully understand there are other ways to show love. :) I will probably just cook some good food for my mom this year

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for kind comment Chloé! I'm happy that you feel the same.

[@Aleph_Nul]

Your videos have really inspired me to change my way of living, i left a comment a few months ago that due to my exams and upcoming holiday i wasn’t able to start my minimalist journey but im back now and am going to begin decluttering tomorrow. I think ill just ask for some plants for christmas this year

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the support, Will! Glad that my videos can be helpful to you and your journey. Plants is a good one, I can't say no to that.

[@raissaguiar8552]

I recommend sending people an amazon wishlist of what you want (affordable stuff), then you'll get something you want and is going to save money you would use, you can also give that idea to others giving so is easier fir you to give something they like

[@cynthia6771]

I just found your channel and I love it! Thank you!

[@CKSPACE]

Glad that it reached you! Appreciate the support.

[@sunshineysideoflife]

You explained everything so well. I experience stress during gift-giving occasions. I am unsure how to avoid it and save. My coworkers are heavily into gift-giving and it stresses me out when I have to contribute.

[@dsharkboy2449]

Great video man! I was so stressed out trying to buy gifts before sales ran out. This really helped🙏🏾

[@CKSPACE]

Appreciate the support man. Happy that this can help.

[@chrystineeld9218]

I love everything you say in ALL of your videos!! This is the best minimalism channel I have found so far. I agree with everything you say

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the kind words Chrystine! Glad that they can be something relatable to you. Will continue to make more!

[@lizziedennison4263]

Great video. I'm working out a way of telling everyone that we'll be giving homemade chutney this year! Financially 2020 has been a blow and last year, I got myself into debt on a credit card. I've just cleared it and I don't want to rack up debt again.

[@dianeyoung8068]

Give of yourself. Spend time with friends and family. You may never realize how lonely they are and how much just spending time would mean to them.

[@CKSPACE]

Well said!

[@whitneywalsh4527]

I never thought to gift an activity like a class or subscription to an app, I will definitively think about this when I next gift-give, thank you :)

[@esthermirandalima]

Thank you for this video!! I needed this ❤

[@kiraaindow]

Notifications on! Thank you for covering this topic!

[@CKSPACE]

Appreciate that Kira! Hope it helps.

[@alkasoli4002]

The best gift you can ever give to someone is to spend time with them.. Be it your friends /family members

[@cameronadams1125]

As an Englishman I can confirm I hate buying gifts and it stresses me out majorly, I’m not good at getting them or thinking about them and having started to adopt a minimalist mindset it’s hard to think of gifts for myself and others

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the comment, Cameron! Hope it will go smoothly for you

[@MagicalKid]

Alcohol always works when buying for the English.

[@maryngshwuling9916]

[@Happy_halle]

[@CKSPACE]

I'm so glad that it reached you. Thanks for the support!

[@CourtneyRobinson]

Thank you

[@Lesliebriseida]

Loved the video, you have a new subscriber!

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks Leslie, will continue to make more!

[@Ggnore69]

Hey man i enjoy your new videos, but i love your old ones as well, so I was really bummed out when i found out that you had removed your old fashion videos. Have you considered maybe creating an archive channel to upload your older videos over there?

[@CKSPACE]

Appreciate that you are here since the start man, thanks! I don't have any plans to upload them any time soon or ever, but I truly appreciate your support.

[@王有雯同學]

In a culture that people would say the best gift is nothing but money, I never come across the idea till now that secret-Santa gift exchange is aimed to reduce gifts！

[@thinnthuzarhtet4823]

Same as ever 💕💕

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks!🙏

[@jtalk0074]

Stop the chain. Stop giving. Period. I don’t return any gifts, and I told everyone around me, that kinda stopped it. 😆

[@jou3456]

Throwback to sheldon and gift giving lol

[@CKSPACE]

😂

[@MagicalKid]

The problem with buying from a wishlist is that you lose yourself as a giver. The gift could've been from anyone and it doesn't matter. It's no different than just giving money.

[@HosCreates]

Its better than getting them something they hate or will fill a landfill with 🤷‍♀️

[@robertrechitean5504]

Nice content , I love it. One question, where did you get the hoop earrings you wear.

[@robertrechitean5504]

Also you need to upload more often , I can't wait a week already 😂

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the kind words, Robert! Will continue to make more. It was from a local (Singapore) mall, but i got them years ago. Sadly, I crushed it accidentally few weeks back.

[@robertrechitean5504]

I could tell you haven't been wearing them in your videos . They suited you very well

[@alexisdragonetti450]

I'm coming from the future, hehe.

[@111-w9d7y]

Give experiences as gifts. I cannot understand why people that are not Christian even celebrate Christmas. I am not religious. I enjoy going to the Christmas markets here in Switzerland, to enjoy the food only. I rather buy things as I need something. I enjoy minimalism. Most of the time when people give me a useless gift I recycle or pass it on. Great points mentioned in this video. Thanks.

[@CKSPACE]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear your view about Christmas and gift giving.

[@ThunderStruck15]

Because people like what they like. I don’t understand how people can listen to metal music, but they do, and clearly have a good time of it. It’d be a pretty crappy thing to go around criticizing them for listening to metal.

[@111-x5x]

@@ThunderStruck15 Enjoying different types of music is indeed very personal.

[@josegalindo6692]

Hey bro what camera do you use for recording your videos

[@CKSPACE]

Hi Jose, i'm using sony a6300

[@shehzadimtiaz18]
