Thanks Jocob! They are the best kind of gifts, I think!

That’s awesome, Laura! I love online courses — I basically want to be an eternal student 🙂

I’m a bit late seeing your blog post, Alex, I picked up Matt’s course yesterday during the pre-Xmas sale. Glad to see it IS a great course! My 2019 goal is to build up my blog, if nothing else to document my travels as my own scrapbook.

A friend of mine built his Christmas card as a “post” on his personal website, to save on money, postage, paper and time.

That’s awesome to hear — I’ve been planning to do a full review post, eventually!

You’re very welcome! Hope you found some great deals!

Thanks Martin — I’m with ya!

Yay! So glad to hear that! I need to do a full review of it at some point.

SO COOL. I love all these initiatives you mentioned and WOW what a crazy statistic. I really love Osprey for always offering lifetime free repairs on their products — their bags are pricey, but what a way to cut down on landfills full of cheap bags.

Right now I am in the (very slow) process of organizing and cleaning out my childhood home and dang, what an eye opener it has been. So much stuff, and such a burden to figure out how to responsibly recycle or rehome it. It’s definitely an inspiration towards minimalism.

Thanks Ramona! I feel ya — I loved the “get outside” campaign one of the big brands did for Black Friday a few years ago.
