Obviously we are far from the holiday blitz territory but I wanted to share an idea I had that others may want to replicate: For Christmas gifts for my parents, in-laws, and siblings, I am paying for professional family photos taken by my beloved photographer from my wedding (which was in 2017). Professional photos are a wonderful gift but without a big family event like a wedding, we have no “reason” to do them. And now I will have very little to wrap and the gifts are zero clutter! I will pay for the photographer and printing of a few photos for each family unit. I started so early because this requires coordinating the schedules of 15 people (!) and am now adding some research into photo locations to my Sunday basket tasks.
