The point of today's article is regifting. Everyone's favorite pastime. For me and my fellow clutter-haters, the holidays are a perfect time to clean out your closets and attics and put that unused stuff to good use.
A few years ago I gifted everyone on my "nice" list some of my pottery. I have taken a half-dozen throwing classes so I have accumulated more than my share of mugs, plates, bowls and yes, ashtrays! It felt great to share my "art" with family and friends and I checked off one of those "shoulds" for the holidays where you give something personal that you have made. It was a win-win. Of course, I also got to eliminate one of the 3 boxes of pottery I had in the garage. There's still enough for another giving wave (maybe next year!). But if you're not a master potter like myself, here's a few other ideas to help clean out your closets and get in the giving spirit at the same time.
Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,
racist or sexually-oriented language. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK. Don't Threaten. Threats of harming another
person will not be tolerated. Be Truthful. Don't knowingly lie about anyone
or anything. Be Nice. No racism, sexism or any sort of -ism
that is degrading to another person. Be Proactive. Use the 'Report' link on
each comment to let us know of abusive posts. Share with Us. We'd love to hear eyewitness
accounts, the history behind an article.
