I am always so happy when friends actually tell me what present they'd like to receive for their birthday. It saves me a whole lot of thinking energy and this way I know that the present will be useful. However, when somebody asks me what I want I feel bad telling them. Paradoxes of life 🙃

[EllaPesonenArt]

I do a cleanup/decluttering session before and after each university semester. It is such a nice way to start and end the semester and feel clear in both my apartment and my head. ✨

I set up a memo of gifts for myself and my family and friends on my phone. Throughout the year as I or someone mentions or sees a gift they would like I note it so when a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas rolls around I have a list of things or experiences on hand. This helped so much when my sisters asked what I wanted this past Christmas. I went straight to my list and sent it to them so I got everything I needed.

do a lookbook using your favourite clothing items?

[sophiedines]

What I do sounds kinda lame but because my friends and family weren’t sure what to get for me I made a Pinterest board full of ideas. All things I wanted (obviously) but they could buy it and it still be a surprise. Also this lets them choose something they can afford! I’ve got things for £1, things for £15 and all prices inbetween but those things would all make me smile :)

Something that has worked for when when people ask what I want for my birthday or Christmas is telling them coffee beans from local coffee shops. It’s fun for them and it definitely get used! Also, unique condiments like hot sauces, honey or tea.

[HengHuiMei]

honestly i was so tired out from decluttering (especially since i was clearing my dad's things) but seeing your video just brought me back to life! gotta get back to work

[miaalicex]

This takes me back to when you did the 30 days to simplify your life challenge and I did it and read the Marie Kondo book all in a week!!!! This inspires me to do it all again!!! 🤩💗

[gemmabarnes]

I would love to see you create a video on ethical buying/fashion/your style. I watched the true cost and currently finding it a bit difficult to navigate organic brands that aren’t incredibly expensive or brands posing as ethical. Thanks for your inspiring vids! 💗

I'm 1000% for asking people what they would want as gifts, and vice versa (very diligently I might add). Since getting into minimalism, and a lifetime of receiving gifts I wouldn't personally choose, it just doesn't make any sense to not do gifting this way?? Certain people (one being my partner) don't like not being able to give me 'the element of surprise' because I'll already know what I'm getting.. But I'll definitely use what you're gifting me, and it was still in the form of a gift, so it's still special to me :)

[SimplyBentley]

Yes! Changing habits is really the way to make simplifying sustainable!

[JoyfulLivingLinda]

Loved the design in this video! Looks amazing! You are one of my biggest influences here on YouTube. I don't nearly have your type of personality but I just can't be anyone but myself, so I might not make it on YouTube. Everyone keeps saying personality is everything. The way you express yourself is so inspiring!

[TaraWagner]

Amen to all of this. Especially gifts. I encourage people to give to charity in my name. For people whose love language is gifts (or who just love to shop😆), they still struggle with it and I respect that it's their jam, but holy moly, I don't need more "stuff".

[MariahGlenn]

Did a 30 day declutter challenge in January. Gonna do my second one for the month of March. I’m excited :)

[itsacarolbthing]

Love the idea of having an inbox in my bag!

[allaboutyoupodcast]

I totally agree about analysing why you don't wear a type of item.I realised I am not a T shirt persons I just have 2 white basic T's for and that's just perfect for me.

[SunSetBaby]

I try desperately to only buy stuff and clothes, that I like. If I try smth on and I'm like "Oh it looks nice, but is maybe a bit too short for me" I'm not buying it. If I try something on and I'm like "Oh my god, this Looks absolutely stunning" THEN I'm buying it. If I'm not sure about a specific clothing item, I will most likely not wear it when I get home. So no need to buy it

[elizamh]

You’re videos make me feel fresh with a new lease of life!

[-cabdairy-]

Great video! Could you do maybe another series? I especially like the 30 day simplify your life and the reset you life ones. I love how you make give us small and actionable steps to follow. Could you please do one for comfort zones? if that isnt already in your list. Maybe you could base it off of the book untethered soul which touches on avoiding fear and pain which if remember correctly, something you've already read? Or you could do whatever. Your videos works wonders for me. Looking forward to more videos

Could you do a video on decluttering your mind/past trauma perhaps...
I’ve been decluttering the house for a few years but I do have 4 young kids, so as their needs change, my decluttering continues, but even though the house is so empty compared to others, I feel like there’s so much more to decluttering than just material items :)
I just don’t know the process of how to declutter my mind & thoughts ...
