Example of a Gift Closet
The after-Christmas and January Inventory sales are a great time to restock your gift closet! If you’ve never heard of a gift closet before, the idea is to buy gift-worthy items (at cheap prices) throughout the year and store them in a designated closet. Then, when a gift-giving occasion comes up (sometimes unexpectedly) you’ll have a nice stock of gifts ready for the wrapping! My friend has a gift closet which she uses to give ‘happies’ (as she calls them) to others as an “I’m thinking of you” or as a “thank you”. Don’t have a spare closet? How about a Gift Tub? Dawn has a gift closet, Shana has 2 huge boxes in her garage and she keeps an excel sheet of what is in the box. One box is for her kiddos (I buy for their b-day and up-coming Christmas all year long).
Here are some ideas for your gift closet: Candles, Glycerin soaps, Manicure/Pedicure items, Stationary and note pads, Chocolate dipped spoons for hot drinks, Coffee mugs, Decorative wine glasses or bottle stoppers, Potpourri, Picture frames, Devotionals, Relaxation CD, Magnets, Makeup brushes, Olive oil in a pretty glass jar w/spice mix for making dipping oil
And don’t forget to keep things for kids, too: Games & cards, Stuffed animals, Bubble bath kits or special sponges, Diary, Lip balms, Coffee Mugs w/hot cocoa packets, Stickers and ink stamps, Special pens, pencils, or markers, Jewelry, Devotionals, Coloring book and crayons
