10 ways to graciously tell someone: ‘no gifts, please’ (with actual examples, wording, and alternatives)

Updated 11/7/2022 “What to ask for for Christmas” is a term that gets an average of 18,100 Google hits each month. Maybe it’s just me,

I’m a self-described anxious eco-minimalist mom, and I know I’m not alone. Reduce, Reuse, Renew is a lifestyle blog that aims to meet you where you’re at in terms of a minimalist and low waste lifestyle, and support you in your future growth.

I help women navigate the roadblocks that can (and will) come up along the way, to help you live less, in a sustainable way. This guilt and judgement free space is for you to learn, stumble, and find support in getting back up. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, guilty, alone, or not sure where to go next within the eco-minimalist lifestyle, you’re in the right place!

I’ve been living a sustainable lifestyle for as long as I can remember, and incorporated minimalism almost six years ago.
