Buying great gifts for minimalists can be a challenge. It may feel like they don’t want physical items, or that they already have everything they want or need. There are a few keys to remember when searching for gift ideas for the minimalist in your life.
Being a Minimalist doesn’t mean that they don’t need, want or buy anything. It simply means that they are focused on the things in their life that give them the most value while eliminating the things that don’t.
Find something unique, but not a fad or gimmick. It’s great to pick out a sentimental, unique or under the radar item. It’s not great to purchase a cheap 8-in-1 tool, or this year’s fad gift.
If all else fails, ask. You can always reach out to the person and ask what they are currently working on, learning, or changing in their home or life. If you favor a surprise, you can ask their other loved ones, or check out their presence on Pinterest or other social channels.
