The last few years I've been trying to strike the balance between minimalism and zero waste, basically by not bringing new things into the house, and gifting what I don't need anymore. For gifting, that translates into asking for more experiences, like theater tickets and gift cards to restaurants.
This year, experience gifts take a little more creativity. You can swap theater and sporting tickets for live-stream event tickets, in-person cooking classes for virtual cooking classes, and tour tickets for virtual tours or subscription boxes. Do you have a creative skill, and could spend time teaching them your own master class?
And don't forget the old school homemade coupon book:
With COVID draining people financially, emotionally, and stretching people thin, what do you're loved ones really want or need for the holidays?

So, if you don't want to do the Christmas Eve rush to the mall for a last-minute gift, take a moment to think about what could brighten your loved one's winter, and make a personalized gift certificate!
