Is it just me or has this year gone by in lightening speed? I can’t believe we are right in the middle of the holiday season. If there is one thing I have learned this year, it’s about how to stress less about all the stuff that we buy. I will be the first to admit that I love shopping (maybe a little too much..) and having all this stuff around was starting to stress me out! So we downsized, and I want to continue that trend during the holiday season! There are SO many gifts you can give that won’t cause clutter in your home. I know your kids think they really want that toy that hatches out of an egg, and they will love it…for a few days. And then what happens to it? It sits on a shelf, in a toy box, or right in the middle of the hall, before you trip over it. And I love lotions and body sprays as much as the next person, but the last thing I need is another bottle to shove under my sink for the next 6 months until I need it.

So with that in mind I knew I HAD to come up with some clutter free holiday gift ideas for my family this year. I wanted fun gift ideas that could be given instead of as many toys and typical gifts and I have found some amazing ideas while on my search. I hope you can find some of these clutter free holiday gift ideas useful and cut down on some of your stuff this year! Let’s check them out..

Here are my 24 clutter free holiday gift ideas: 

1. Dinner Gift Cards- This is one of my personal favorite gifts to get any time of year. Sometimes when I get off of work I just really don’t want to cook dinner, so I always keep a few dinner gift cards around to save the day when I don’t feel like cooking. 

2. A Local Tour- I know we all love going on vacations, but have you ever played tourist in your own city? It can be so fun and you don’t have to travel to get there! Make sure to check places like Groupon, they always have the best local deals too! 

3. Spa Services- Most people hate spending money on themselves for spa services, so why not gift one to someone you love? A pedicure for mom, a facial for your sister, or even a massage for dad! I promise he would like that more than another tie. 

4. Acts of service- What skill do you have? Can you offer to watch the kids for a couples date night? Maybe you have an eye for gardening and can set up you grandparents new garden. Service gifts are great for anyone and cause zero clutter! 

5. Community Theater Tickets- One of my daughters favorite gifts to receive is theater tickets, and you don’t have to wait for a major production to come into town, check out your local community theater! 

6. Classes- Classes is another great clutter free gift. Check out what your community has to offer. Cooking classes, art lessons, even things like self defense. 

7. A Family Vacation- Now this is a big one, so make sure to discuss it with your whole family before considering this one. A few years ago we decided to forgo any gift giving at all and instead spent Christmas at Disneyworld as a gift for everyone! 

8. Baked Goods- Who doesn’t love a gift of some homemade chocolate chip cookies? Or their favorite candy? 

9. A Wine Club Subscription- If you have someone in your life that loves a good glass of wine with dinner than a wine subscription would be perfect for them! 

10. Movie Passes- Now that movie theaters are back in full swing, it’s time to get back to seeing movies in theaters right! Consider gifting a few movie passes to the movie buff in your life! 

11. Concert Tickets- Much like movies being back in the theater, live music is back! Concert tickets are a great gift ideas for anyone that loves to get out there and hear their favorite bands live. 

12. AAA membership- Do you know someone that just got a new car? A teen driver? A AAA membership is a great idea for anyone that drives a car! 

13. Season passes for sports games- If you have a sports buff in your circle, they would probably love season passes to see their favorite local team!

14. Charity Donation- For the humanitarian in your life, a donation made to their favorite charity in their name would surely be loved and treasured! 

15. Entertainment subscription- Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, etc are all great gifts for someone that needs a little entertainment in their life. You can almost always buy a gift subscription from these companies as well so it’s super easy for everyone!

16. Meal Kits- If you know someone that loves to cook or wants to learn how to make new meals easily then they would love a subscription to a meal kit service (Hello fresh is my personal favorite!).

 17. A YMCA/Gym Membership- For the person in your life that is looking to improve their health, a gym membership is just the ticket. 

18. A Gas Card- Oh how happy I would be with receiving a gas card for the holidays. I’m pretty sure anyone that groans when they see the price at the pump would really appreciate a gas card as a gift! 

19. Family Portrait Session- When is the last time you have gotten professional family pictures done? Isn’t it about that time? 

20. Professional Organizing Services- Now this is a gift I know I need, I think I’ll highlight this one when I show my husband…

21. Gaming Gift Cards- For the gamer in your life you can cut the clutter by going digital! They have digital gift cards for games, in game currency, and online playing subscriptions! 

22. A Box of local produce- I love supporting local businesses and being able to enjoy fresh fruits and veggies! A lot of farms and co-ops offer holiday gift boxes! 

23. Coffee gift cards- Whether they are team Dunkin’ or team Starbucks, there are few people I know that wouldn’t love a gift card to their favorite coffee spot! 

24. Your time- Some of the best gifts come from giving your time. A date with your spouse, a movie night with your kids, spending time together with your family is the best gift of all!
