You're listening to the Decluttered Mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom. I'm your host, Diana Renee. And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home. Okay, not literally,

0:23.6

but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,

0:30.4

I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have never looked back.

0:42.7

I kind of feel like I hacked the mom system, and I'm here to share all the tips,

0:44.5

tricks, and encouragement.

0:46.7

Let's listen to today's show.

0:53.0

Welcome to another episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast.

0:56.2

We are going to talk today about gifts for kids. And as you know, I'm a big proponent of experience gifts. And so I do have a free

1:04.8

experience gift guide that has over 100 ideas for you.

1:18.7

And these ideas, they vary widely as far as how much they cost,

1:21.2

how much of a commitment they are.

1:27.1

And I know that I think something that stops people from experience gifts a lot of the time is budget because

1:28.9

most people think of when they think of experience gifts, they think they have to do like a

1:34.9

year-long membership to a children's museum or something like that that can be pricey,

1:40.3

especially for a family pass or something like that. So yes, that's an option, but absolutely not

1:46.8

the only option. There are so many ways to do really inexpensive or even free experience gifts.

1:55.2

And so I cover all of that inside the guide. I also cover how to kind of transition your kids into more experienced

2:03.4

gifts if they have never received those yet and you're worried about how they're going to react to them.

2:09.2

And there's also information in there. I believe it's a video that I took that really talks about

2:15.5

just how to talk to family members who you would love it

2:21.0

if they started to give your kids some experiences instead of so many toys. And so it just kind of

2:27.7

goes through how to have that conversation, but also things that you can do to make them want to continue to give your kids experience gifts
