30 Clutter Free Christmas Gifts

December 1 2021 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

30 clutter gift ideas

If I learnt anything from spending most of the past 20 months inside my home #LockdownLife #ThanksRona , it was that my family has too much “stuff” and not just the kids, but us adults too [ok, probably me more than my husband but we’re not here to talk about me, so let’s move on], so when it comes to Christmas this year, I’ve tracked down the best clutter free Christmas gifts for everyone.

The giving of gifts is a part of the Christmas season for many of us and while this can be a lot of fun, it can also be a source of stress, especially if you are the parent of a child (or children) that already has everything or you have limited space in your home. It can also be stressful for adults who may be in the process of decluterring or trying to live a more minimalist lifestyle.

So I’m here to help, with the best clutter-free gift ideas for everyone on your list!

Most of these gifts are from local Melbourne and Victorian-based businesses, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find something similar in your area.

Clutter Free Gifts for Kids

At some point, all parents long for less stuff.  Less stuff to trip on, less stuff to pick-up and less stuff to hide in the cupboards [or under the beds] when unexpected guests arrive.

If you’re ready to put a stop to stuff, here are some of my favourite clutter free gifts for kids:

  1. Junior Chocolatier Classes at the Great Ocean Rd Chocolaterie
  2. Legoland Discovery Centre Annual Pass
  3. Gumbuya World Season Pass or Gift Voucher
  4. Enchanted Adventure Garden & Maze Membership or Gift Voucher
  5. UrbnSurf Surfing Lessons or Swim in the Bays

Clutter Free Gifts for Teens

Most teens want gadgets (or cash) but if you want to get them off the couch and out and about, check out my favourite clutter free gifts for teens:

  1. IMAX Melbourne Gift Voucher
  2. Firefly Zipline Experience over the Yarra River
  3. Indoor Skydiving at iFly
  4. Bounce Freestyle Academy
  5. Stand up paddleboarding lessons or hire at Stand Up Paddle Board HQ

Clutter Free Gifts for Adults

I love gifting friends something that they may not necessarily buy for themselves but something that I know they will enjoy, without adding clutter to the home. Here are some of my favourite clutter free gifts for adults:

  1. Queen Victoria Market Ultimate Foodie Tour
  2. Robert Gordon Wheel Throwing Workshop 
  3. Go Boat Picnic on the Yarra
  4. Distillery Gin Masterclass at Four Pillars Gin
  5. Tickets to Australian Open

Clutter Free Gifts for Grandparents

Grandparents are typically at the stage in life where they already have everything they want and need, so here are some clutter free gifts for grandma and grandpa that will fill their hearts [and not their homes]

  1. Gourmet Kitchen Cooking Class
  2. Steam & Cuisine Lunch on the Puffing Billy
  3. Grazing or Dessert box from Taylor Made Gourmet 
  4. Elvis: Direct from Graceland Exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery
  5. High Tea at the National Gallery of Victoria

Clutter Free Gifts for Families

After spending so much time at home during the past two years, give a gift that will create fun family memories that will last a lifetime. Here are some of my favourite clutter free gifts for families:

  1. Zoo Victoria membership
  2. Fondue at Home kit from the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie
  3. Museum Victoria membership
  4. Sun Theatre Gift Voucher
  5. Artvo Gift Voucher

Clutter Free Gifts for your Bestie

Treat your bestie (and yourself) to a fun or yummy day out and create some new wonderful memories together. Here are some great gifts ideas for your bestie:

  1. Paint & Sip at Pinot & Picasso
  2. Soy Candle Making Workshop
  3. High Tea at Mary Eats Cake
  4. Deluxe Pedicure at Beauty on Rose
  5. Peninsula Hot Springs Voucher

Kyoto was a beautiful contrast to the bright light Kyoto was a beautiful contrast to the bright lights of Osaka. 
 
We loved wandering through its historic streets, discovering incredible temples and gardens, and experiencing the slower more traditional side of Japan. Every place we visited felt special and full of history.
 
While the boys headed off to the Samurai Ninja Museum for some action-packed fun, my daughter and I enjoyed making our own rings at a Japanese ring-making workshop. It was such and fun and unique experience to share together.
 
We also made a lunch stop at Nishiki Market – a must for food lovers! So many incredible sights and flavours to discover (and I may have developed a slight addiction to furikake… 🤭IYKYK).

In the evening we strolled through Gion and the Shirakawa Canal area before enjoying a delicious Thai dinner, which was a welcome change after so much amazing Japanese food.
 
Our Kyoto favourites:
 
⛩️ Fushimi Inari Taisha
🥢 Nishiki Market
💍 @glanta_kyoto_sanjokawramchi
🥷 @samurai_ninja_museum 
🛕 Yasaka Pagoda
🏮 Gion District 
🍜 @rungarun_kyoto 
 
A beautiful day filled with amazing memories.

It was hot. It was humid. We walked more than we t It was hot. It was humid. We walked more than we thought possible… and we absolutely loved it!
 
Nara was the perfect little escape from the energy of Osaka. It offered a beautiful mic of history, nature and culture. 

From wandering through Nara Park with the friendly (and very determined) deer to exploring ancient temples and peaceful gardens, it was a day full of unforgettable memories.
 
Our Nara favourites:
 
🦌 Nara Park
🛕 Kofukuji Temple
⛩️ Kasuga Taisha Shrine
🌳 Yoshikien Garden
🛍️ Higashimuki Shopping Street
 
A quick day trip but definitely one of our Japan highlights.

Osaka was the perfect way to kick off our Japan ad Osaka was the perfect way to kick off our Japan adventure. From the bright lights of Dotonbori and endless shopping to incredible food, temples, arcades and plenty of family laughs, this city delivered.
 
Our trip didn’t quite go to plan after Jetstar cancelled our flight, which meant we lost a day of our holiday 😟. It wasn’t the start we’d hoped for but we made the most of every moment we had.
 
The weather was hot and humid, but that didn’t stop us exploring this incredible city. We loved wandering through the neon streets of Dotonbori, shopping Shinsaibashi, exploring Den Den Town and taking in the beauty of Namba Yasaka Shrine and Osaka Castle.
 
And of course, the food did not disappoint! From delicious gyoza to incredible pizza (yes, pizza in Japan deserves a mention 🤤), cheesecake, egg sandwiches IYKYK, and everything in between, Osaka is a foodie’s dream.
 
Our Osaka favourites:

🦁 Namba Yasaka Shrine
🥟 @gyozaoh! Dotonbori
🏯 Osaka Castle
🎮 Den Den Town
🍕 @pizzeriadatigre
🛍️ Don Quijote
🏎️ @mr.hiro_carstudio
🍔 @kitan_hibiki
🍰 @rikuro1956 cheesecake
🐠 @kaiyukan_japan 
 
Would we have loved another day in Osaka? Absolutely. But even with one less day, it was packed with unforgettable memories.

With Vivid lighting up the city every night, we’ve been treated to an incredible show from our apartment and around Darling Harbour 🌟

This spectacular light show was the perfect way to end the evening. Sydney really knows how to put on a show ❤️

Darling Harbour putting on a show from my hotel room window - twinkling lights, reflections on the water and the Sydney skyline glowing after dark 🌃

Definitely no complaints from me 😍

If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s that the world is breathtakingly beautiful and worth protecting 🌎💚

100 years of Sir David Attenborough. What a life. What a legacy 🌿🐘🐋

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever known 🎂

Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and wow, what a ride.

I could not put this one down… ended up reading until 2:30 am to finish it! Such a clever, gripping story that keeps you guessing the whole way through.

Honestly, the entire Eddie Flynn series is fantastic. If you love fast-paced legal thrillers, these are absolute must-reads.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“Alexandra Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. 

Sofia Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom. 

Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. 

But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. 

You’d be wrong.”
