Ever kept a gift you don’t love just because you felt guilty getting rid of it? Whether it’s your mom’s hand-knit scarf, an inherited serving platter, or that vintage frame that doesn’t match your style, these items take up more than just space; they create mental clutter, too.

In this episode of the Maximized Minimalist Podcast, we're diving into the emotional layers of decluttering gifts and why “value” isn’t about price. It’s about what actually serves you today.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • The truth about “value” and why price tags don’t determine whether you should keep something.
  • The powerful question to ask yourself before you keep (or donate) any gift.
  • How “gift guilt” keeps you stuck, and how to break free from it.
  • Why releasing unused items creates both physical space and mental clarity.
  • How to lovingly let go of gifts without rejecting the person who gave them.

If you’ve ever felt torn between keeping something “just in case” or letting it go, this episode will give you the clarity (and permission!) you need to move forward...guilt-free.
