Hey, Green Junkie!

Okay be honest, do you have a stash of unwanted gifts in your closet? Or maybe they’re piling up in the dark corners of your bedroom or basement?

It’s inevitable that we often get gifts that we don’t fall in love with or maybe it just doesn’t fit in with our lifestyle. Or maybe it’s a duplicate of something we already have. 

There are a million reasons we might not want to keep a gift that we received and today I’m sharing with you how you can repurpose those gifts sustainably and with the giver in mind.

Because look, we don’t want anyone to feel bad or be hurt by us re-gifting their gift. We can all agree that we appreciate and love the people in our lives who take the time to buy us things and show their love, right?! 

In this episode, I am keeping that in mind and sharing ways to do this lovingly and with respect to the person who gifted that item to you. 

Here’s what to expect:

• How to re-gift new (or old) gifts you have lying around
• An alternative to gifts for your kiddos this year
• How to politely approach the “no gifts” request with family members

You’ll discover that and so much more in this episode.

By the end of this episode, Green Junkie, you’ll be able to finally address that pile of old gifts and figure out the best way to give them a second life or a second home.
