What do you do with presents?


by @bydorian |  | 6 comments

So there are many occasion people give gifts, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthdays, … etc.

For instance:

  • Food: you can use it pretty quickly
  • Flowers: doesn’t last too long
  • Perfume: take a lot of space for a month or two
  • Clothes: what if you don’t life them? (eg: a t-shirt, a scarf, …)
  • Random stuff: as part of the nomadic life, we want to be minimalist and can’t keep too much stuff

I would say there is short-term, middle-term and long-term goods. And useful / useless / special goods.

So we have a problem, we don’t have infinite storage space (either out of the bag in containers or inside bags).

Attacking the source of the problem:

  1. Asking people to give mostly short-term goods, useful middle-term/long-term goods (eg: from a wishlist for instance)
  2. Asking for no physical gifts
  3. Not going / celebrating those occasions
  4. Something else?

I think it’s pretty hard to prevent people from giving unwanted gifts (rejecting a gift is an huge cultural mistake).

Attacking the effects of the problem:

  1. Giving gifts to somebody else
  2. Re-selling gifts
  3. Taking a photo of it and throwing it away
  4. Shipping them to some stockage container company
  5. Something else?

I personally think that’s one of the biggest thing against minimalism, and ultimately against the freedom of moving quickly.

So, what you you do?

Just interested to see a quick rundown of everyone’s next stop. Where will you be going next and when?

What did you wish you knew earlier?

What took you longer to figure out than you thought?

I’ll become a nomad soon and I want to know what you learned after spending time on the road. Feel free to repeat tips that have been told already in order to increase their significance.

(Obviously don’t talk about things that you got right away and that are mentioned in every blog post)
