Four Gifts Even a True Minimalist Would Appreciate
If one of your loved ones is a minimalist (like me) and nothing is good enough for them ;). And bless your heart, but you really want to give them a physical object, then here is a list of things that even a true minimalist would appreciate.
Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life
This book by Joshua Fields Millburn and contributor Ryan Nicodemus (many consider the father of modern minimalism) is like the Bible for atheist minimalist and secondary Bible for the religious ones. As a matter of fact is good for everyone. It was an eye-opening experience for me and I can honestly say after stumbling across Joshua my life has taken a turn for the better. There is no more frustrations from picking out which wrist watch matches the outfit for of day, instead just put on your clothes and the extra time saved spend eating breakfast with your kids or hitting the gym. If you enjoy the thought of that then this book is definitely for you. Heck get’em a Kindle version if you wanna play it safe.
Victorinox Swiss Army Classic SD Pocket Knife
There nothing better for a minimalist than a small versatile tool that can tackle many obstacles. And such is the King of versatility; The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is the end all be all of tools for everyday tasks; opening packages / letters, plucking out an ingrown hair or splinter, tightening a screw, clipping a hangnail, opening a beer and most importantly of all it all fits on your keychain. Also did I mention it doesn’t look half bad with its sleek curves and blade forged of the finest steel from Switzerland?
Food & Drinks!

Honestly, all of us from minimalist to mild hoarders we all love to eat and drink being a minimalist doesn’t change our deepest human desires as a matter of fact being minimalist will heighten our experiences with food. So yea bring us a nice bottle of wine and if you’re under 21 then give us a hamburger and turkey leg or something call it a day. It's easy don’t make things complicated.
Hugs and Smiles
If you truly can’t bring anything then bring your best hugs and smiles, we won’t judge you at all we’ll actually appreciate the gesture (I think everyone in the room would) because remember in the end what matter this holiday is that we are all together sharing the precious few moments we call life. So please forget old grudges and pains this winter and learn to embrace the fellow man or woman.  |

If you think Smiling and being happy and interacting with family, friends and co-workers is a definite weakness of your then Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People is a DEFINITE read for you and everyone you know. It's like the 8th wonder of the world the Holy Grail on well How to Win Friends and Influence people. (It's not some pickup artist book, its a genuine science-backed way to get people to like you by working on yourself. I'm going to write a review / summary on this later down the line, maybe even pick it up for the more toxic member of your family, so you can love them more easily.
