gift ideas- go minimalist?

the older i get, the more i like not having much stuff. how much stuff is too much? when it comes to birthdays, especially kids, i’d rather contribute to their college fund or an experience like a trip to the zoo. constantly purging and donating items i no longer use has caused me to re-think my gifts   for friends and kids. For friends, i love doing things like a spa day to relax, rather than an item.

for me, minimalist and thoughtful > maximalism.

do you agree? what gifts do you love to give and receive?
