It's Time! Holiday Happenings and Tips for a Stress-Free, Sustainable Season
November is here, the festive season is upon us, and we’re gearing up for all the fun to be had. Here are some handy holiday time tips to keep stress and your carbon footprint at bay. Plus: an early look at what we’ve got in store this season for our holiday shoppers.
tips for an organized and sustainable holiday season
Because we’re all about thoughtful living (and thoughtful gifting), here are a few ideas to help you keep things tidy, plan your days, and minimize your environmental impact during the holidays.
choose gifts that lean green
Look for durable, recycled materials and minimal packaging. Consider gifting an experience, like tickets to a concert or a gift card to a restaurant, or a handmade certificate with a helpful offer to babysit, clean the car, or organize the garage.
opt for reusable wrapping supplies
Skip the single-use wrapping paper when you can, and try cloth ribbons, decorative scarves, and reusable fabric gift bags instead. They can look just as festive and be used again and again.
install a shared family calendar
Holiday time puts family planning into overdrive. A big dry-erase calendar in a common area keeps it all in one place, for everyone to see and update; fewer daily surprises and calmer planning means less stress during this extra busy time.
organize your holiday décor
After the festivities, store your lights, ornaments, and reusable wrapping supplies in clearly labeled bins with lids. This ultimate holiday habit will not only keep you ready for the season for years to come, but having your supplies organized and tidy gives them a greater chance at a long, useful, more sustainable life. Better for your wallet and the planet.

An organized space is our happy place, and we want to help spread the love. We're extending our sale season from turkey day 'til the new year, to make it easier for you to give the gift of organizing to your friends and loved ones.
