Unclutterer’s Matt in the Washington Post Express

Unclutterer writer Matt is featured in today’s Washington Post Express! The article, “Experiential Gifts Create a Can-Do Spirit,” delves into the world of experience giving. It is really terrific, and it contains many ideas for giving uncluttered experience gifts this season. Check it out!

From the article:

Even kids — apt to toss a toy aside after a week of ardor — will get more out of an activity they can enjoy all year. Matt Niemi, who dishes out organizational tips on the blog Unclutterer.com, encourages intangibles for his 18-month-old daughter, Ella. “She’s in danger of becoming super-spoiled, so we’re trying to curb the toys that come into our house,” says the Pittsburgh Web designer. “We got her a year’s pass to the zoo last year, and, hopefully, she’ll get another one this year.” (Hint, hint, grandparents.)

    The year’s pass to the zoo is a great gift idea for kids. I’d also like to suggest a membership in your local children’s museum if you have one. Large metropolitan areas are usually able to support a children’s museum, but smaller communities can have surprisingly wonderful creative spaces for kids, too. I particularly enjoy Buell Children’s Museum in Pueblo, Colorado:

    I completely agree. Our parents are packrats and instead of contributing to the clutter, we are giving them a day on a river with a kayaking guide. It is something that they both love to do, but never make time for. My brother-in-law has everything a person could ever need, so I got him some audiobooks from itunes to listen to during his commute. Sometimes, you can’t help but give items. But I love the challenge of not giving more “junk” this year! Thanks for the encouragement!

    Is social media going to kill SEO?
