Here are some disappearing gift ideas that will hopefully be used and take up little to no space!

Think…

• Gift cards—think beyond department stores
• DVD rentals
• Favorite restaurants
• Specialty shops
• Hotels
• Putt Putt Golf

If you think gift cards are too impersonal, think of disappearing things to put with it. Get a big popcorn bowl and fill it with Popcorn packets, movie size candies, bottled root beer. The point is, fill it with stuff that will be used and not stored.

• Magazine subscriptions (make sure the recipient would like it)
• Homemade coupons for free stuff—home cooked meal, gutter cleaning, dinner & a movie.
