As an organizer, I hear confessions on a regular basis. I've heard about the food that's been in the pantry since the '90's, the authentic disco pants that still make appearances, and the most common confession of all, "Beth, I just own WAY too much crap!" As Americans, we ALL own too much crap. So lets do each other a favor! With that, I bring you the 2nd annual Crap-Free Christmas Gifts.
Tickets
Give the gift of an experience. Season tickets are the gift that keeps on giving!
Couldn't we all stand to learn a little more?
Not all gift certificates have to be boring! Here are a few that will be greatly appreciated!
