206: Getting Intentional about Gift Giving with Rachael Classi

Author: Cloud10 November 2, 2023 Duration: 48:23
How do we get intentional about the way we give (and even receive) our gifts as we get closer to the holiday season? Today I'm talking about this topic with Rachael Classi, founder and CEO of Tiny Earth Toys. Rachael shares about Tiny Earth's toy rental subscription which is a great way to get intentional about what's under our trees, but we also talk about our own experiences with gift exchanges with extended family, the struggle of worrying our kids will disappointed when our gifts under the tree align with our values (aka, there's not a ton of them), and how we've tried new things and chosen to be more intentional throughout the years. I hope you come out of this episode with new ideas for gift giving in a way that won't stress you out and will align with your values this holiday season. You can also grab a copy of Your Intentional Holidays to help you out with planning this aspect of the holidays, among with making the entire season more intentional.

Hosted by Desirae Endres, Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood explores what it means to carve out a purposeful life when your days are full of family, responsibilities, and the constant clutter of modern living. This isn't about stark white walls or counting possessions, but a practical, compassionate conversation for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the noise. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat with a friend who gets it, tackling the real-world application of minimalist principles within the beautiful chaos of parenting, work, and personal growth. You'll hear honest discussions about managing a household budget with intention, finding moments for self-care without guilt, and redefining what "enough" means for your family. The podcast digs into how these ideas shape our relationships with our kids, our partners, and our own sense of self, moving beyond theory into the lived experience. It’s for those who love the idea of living with less but need a flexible, realistic approach that makes room for sippy cups and sentimental mess. Tune in for a grounded perspective that values progress over perfection, offering actionable ideas and genuine encouragement for your own journey. This is a space where intentional living meets the everyday, acknowledging that a meaningful life is often beautifully minimal-ish.
