Holiday Gifts for that the one who loves all things organized

It’s that time again when gift giving is on everyone’s mind. It’s hard to think of the perfect gift to give that friend or family member of yours who loves to live a minimalistic life style and could probably view gifts as clutter.

Not to worry! Here’s a list from a professional organizer to help you pick the perfect gift for that special person. Feel free to click through the items, I’ve included some links that point directly to purchase the item. (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I get a small percentage of the product price (with no extra cost to you!), so thank you for buying through me and supporting my business.)

1. If they don’t already have one - get them a label maker! What other way can you help your organized friend - stay organized!! Labels help maintain organization so all that hard work that went into creating those organization systems will continue to remain so.

2. These books by The Home Edit are just so….pretty! I can browse these pages for hours and admire all the symmetrical pantries and colour coded rainbow closets.

3. Turntables are so useful to contain items, especially in hard to reach places. Items look more intentionally placed when on a turntable - add some style with a marble turntable that not only is functional, but beautiful as well.

4. I’m all about stackable items. These jewelry trays save space as well as protect your jewelry. They can be stacked or kept individually in drawers.

5. For that jet setting friend - a set of packing cubes for their luggage. Use them to group category of clothes or even to sort complete outfits.

How To Refresh Your Home for Spring

Spring is in the air! Spring is such a wonderful time. It is the season for new beginnings. Temperature is getting better, we’re getting more hours of sunlight, everyone just seems to be in a better mood. The change in seasons is also a great time to make changes in your home.

Here are some things you can do during this season to refresh your home for Spring.

Spring Cleaning
There’s something about opening up the windows, letting the fresh air in that feels so refreshing. I get so motivated to deep clean my home. I did create a printable on spring cleaning, areas we often forget so don’t forget to check that out.

Switching out your Wardrobe
Time to put back those dark, thick winter clothes and bring out the lighter, spring outfits. It’s a great time to assess what you didn’t wear during the winter and consider donating them. If a whole season went by and you didn’t wear it, chances are you won’t wear it next year either. I also do a deep clean of my winter boots and coats and tuck those away as well for next year.

Setting up your outdoor patio.
The first bbq of spring is always a big deal for us. We sweep our deck, clean and bring out our patio set, and deep clean the bbq.

Change up your decor for Spring
Wake up those tired interiors. A simple swap of cushions, throws can really change the way a home looks and feels. Put away some of the thicker textiles, and opt for light ones that will help make the home feel airy.

Flowers and Greenery.
A simple vase full of fresh flowers and indoor plants can really freshen up the home and be the perfect pick-me-up. For those who can’t keep plants alive (me!) you can always opt for artificial.

Lighten the Load
If you want that light and airy vibe, then a good declutter is needed to ensure you only have what you need, use, and love. Go through your belongings, room by room, space by space and let go of the things that no longer serve you. Welcome that white space.

Are you feeling energized? What a difference these small changes can make! Do you have anything else you like to do in Spring? Leave me a comment below.
