As you can tell, it’s typically best to gift consumables, experience-related, and non-physical gifts to the minimalist in your life. They’ll appreciate receiving a present that is memory-creating (concert tickets/pottery class/etc.) and/or creates value in their life (premium app subscription/Kindle books/etc.) as opposed to an object that merely collects dust.
Clearly, the list above isn’t exhaustive, so I wish you all the luck in finding the perfect gift for your loved one!
