I offer to repair clothes or bags. A welcome gift. This year I made 27 MW soup cozies. My gf said, You gave me something that I didn’t think I needed and now I can’t live without.

These are such great suggestions. Thank you! Simply reading them reduced the anxiety I’ve been feeling about gift-giving: I don’t want to give my family meaningless crap! 🙏🏼

Thank you for these ideas. Our kids are no longer kids AND happily don't want "things". We try to give experiences instead of stuff. Hot air ballooning one Christmas is still talked about. Make memories~those last LOOOOOOONG after the joy of the toy.

Great ideas, as always! Highly recommend your book as a gift. It really has allowed me to reduce packaging waste (hello yum DIY sour cream) and discover some keeper new skills (ginger beer?...oh yeah!). Sourdough discard cracker dough is resting on the counter as I write.
