This year, when you asked everyone what they wanted for Christmas, they all gave the same answer: "Anything you like… as long as it doesn’t take up space!" So here are 5 gift ideas guaranteed to be “zero clutter” for your parents, siblings, partner…
The good news? Not only do they perfectly match the initial request, but they’re also super easy to get! No need to face the crowds in stores (and no risk they won’t be delivered on time). Just print out a gift voucher at the office (we promise we won’t tell) and slip it into an envelope to place under the tree.
Convinced? Then GO for the gift operation!
Sure, the souvenir photos might take up a bit of space on their phone… but that doesn’t count, right?
Perfect for: your mom and dad, to whom you always end up giving "old people" gifts that are, let's be honest, pretty boring (even though, frankly, they’re not that old…)
A great replacement for: yet another gardening tool that will end up rusting in the shed at the back of the garden (they’d rather keep using that indestructible pruner they bought in 1983, after all)
Budget: starting from 80 euros for a tandem paragliding flight
Or an ultra-gourmet brunch. Or a lunch with a view of the peaks. Or a beautifully complex cocktail served with small plates of sophisticated finger food. As long as the person starts salivating when they see their gift card, you’ve nailed it!
Perfect for: your partner, who is an excellent actor when it comes to praising the meals you lovingly prepare (but let’s admit it, with minimal talent…)
A great replacement for: that fancy kitchen appliance that looks amazing but will end up in the back of a cupboard (next to its friend, the infamous bread machine)
Budget: A gift that suits every budget. Depending on what’s left in your bank account at the end of the month, you can offer a decadent fondue, a refined three-course meal, or a true gastronomic experience at the table of a renowned chef.
The advantage is that the person won’t mind if two people have the same idea (double massage? Double bliss!).
Perfect for: new parents who are exhausted (pair it with a babysitting voucher so they can enjoy this moment together without worrying about who’s watching their little one during their wellness escape).
A great replacement for: that massage roller quickly abandoned with a, “This thing doesn’t work!”
Budget: variable depending on the treatment you choose to offer (feeling generous? Go for a premium body or facial treatment; feeling generous but on a tight budget? A spa entry with jacuzzi/sauna/hammam access will do nicely).

It’s true, 425 km of groomed ski slopes might be a bit limiting for a week-long vacation.
Perfect for: your son, who’s grown the same mustache as Enak Gavaggio (or your daughter, who dreams of having Sophie Lechasseur’s style in the powpow).
A great replacement for: that barber kit he would’ve stopped using after a week anyway (waking up earlier… for a mustache? No way!) / That super stylish pair of sunglasses she would’ve lost anyway (you know your daughter like the back of your hand).
Budget: starting at €220 for a half-day off-piste ski session.
