And that topic is how to tell someone: "no gifts, please". As we move into the holiday season, many people are wondering how they can broach the topic of not exchanging gifts without offending their friends/family. The good news is that it can be easier than you think. In this episode, I talk about:Why some people may be insistent on giftsWhy you may not want to exchange gifts10 tips for how to say "no gifts, please" (or at least offer a compromise)Resources:10 ways to graciously tell someone: ‘no gifts, please’ (with actual examples)A Minimalist and Zero Waste Advent Calendar (with 58 Kindness, Traditions, and Activity-Based, Non-Candy Ideas)What is a fiver party and how to throw one (includes a party invitation wording guide)Support the show
