Podcasts about gift giving

We often endow items we receive as gifts with a special status in our decluttering decision-making. But even gifts become clutter if we don't love, need, or use them! In episode #271 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores the complex issues of decluttering gifts and offers clutter-conscious approaches to giving, receiving, downsizing, and regifting gifts.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw271The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast and podcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love. We meet Tuesdays at noon (U.S. Central Time) to answer your decluttering questions and to share organizing tools and techniques, success stories and “ah-hah!” moments, seasonal suggestions, and timeless tips.To participate live in our weekly webcast, join our Meetup group, follow us on Facebook, or subscribe to our mailing list.

Hey Clutterbugs! This episode is all about decoding the secret link between your love language and the clutter driving you nuts. Think of your home as a love letter to yourself—except sometimes it's written in messy handwriting! We're chatting about how your emotional needs (hello, Acts of Service lovers and Gift-Giving hoarders!) shape your clutter habits, why that pile of “maybe someday” clothes is really a cry for affirmation, and how to turn your space into a sanctuary that actually loves you back. I'll spill how my mother-in-law's not-so-subtle love language book gift 23 years ago changed my marriage, and tell you why decluttering isn't about perfection—it's about making room for what truly fills your cup. Whether you're a Physical Touch avoider (guilty!) or a Quality Time host drowning in doom rooms, we've got laughs, “aha!” moments, and real-talk tips to align your home with your heart. Plus, I'm answering YOUR questions—like how to stop knitting needles from taking over your couch and why merging a Ladybug's chaos with a Cricket's minimalism is totally possible. Spoiler: Labels are magic. New to Clutterbug? Over 8 million people have taken our quiz (https://clutterbug.me/what-clutterbug-are-you-test) to crack their organizing code—join the party!       You can find more Clutterbug content here: Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/   #clutterbug #Lovelanguage #podcast #selfdiscovery #mondaymotivation

Listen to today's podcast... Some say that romance is dead. I don't think that it's dead. I just think that our expectations have been lowered. Quick and convenient has polluted our relationships to the point where the effort of being truly romantic is seen as being over the top. We settle for emoji's, watching TV together, and hanging out. Romance is so much more. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Resurrect Romance Week: Remind your significant other as to why you cherish them in the first place. Romance takes effort and a dash of creativity. Here are some suggestions based on the Love Languages that got me thinking: Verbal appreciation is extremely powerful towards those who have Words of Affirmation as their primary love language. How about leaving a sweet or sexy note in their coat or on the dashboard of their car? Acts Of Service might be breakfast in bed or even making the bed. For those you appreciate Gift Giving, try to think of a meaningful gift, that doesn't cost anything. Be creative like framing a favourite picture of the two of you. Quality Time together might be setting up a date night, complete with dressing up. Or going out on an unplanned adventure together. And for the fifth love language of Physical Touch you may try a foot massage or just holding your special someone's hand while you drive. Finally, remember that little romantic gestures here and there won't make an ounce of difference to the quality of your relationship if, the rest of the time, you treat your partner in unloving, negative and disrespectful ways. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app. Discover how to take small steps towards a healthier, happier, less-stressed you by visiting my website at worksmartlivesmart.com #mentalhealth #hr

Are you leaving money on the table when it comes to your taxes? If you're a small business owner, the answer is probably yes! In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., covers the essential tax deductions you should be using but might be missing or ignoring. From turning charitable donations into advertising dollars to maximizing deductions on equipment, training, and even paying your children, Danielle breaks down tax strategies that can save you money while still maintaining a healthy business in line with your goals.  Key Takeaways:  Charitable Donations Can Double as Marketing: Sponsoring events or donating branded items makes them deductible. Clothing & Equipment Expense Write-Offs: Add your logo to business attire as a uniform to make it a deductible expense, and really think through what personal expenses you use for your business, such as a new laptop or webcam. How to Make Gift Giving a Deduction: There are strict IRS limitations on gift giving, however gifting your employees or contractors with equipment that is pre-loaded with work content and/or branded is a way to gift as a deduction. Continuing Learning is a Business Expense: Whether it's a conference, a training session, or even a book, if it's an expense that contributes to your business and industry knowledge, no matter how small the cost, it is a business expense.  Retirement & Healthcare Expense Deductions: Utilize HSAs, IRAs, and other plans to save on taxes while securing your future.  Paying Your Children through Your Business: A structured payroll for your children not only is a tax deduction but also helps them build wealth, financial literacy, and their resume as a tax-paying individual.  Strategic Business Travel & The Augusta Rule: A well-timed conference or workshop can combine personal and business travel the right way to increase deductions. Plus, learn how the Augusta Rule can help business owners with tax-free rental income for 14 days per year. Balancing Tax Write-Offs with Your Business Goals: Deducting expenses is important for tax savings, but, depending on what you want out of your business, deducting too much does have an affect on the overall value of your business, so you want to make sure your write-offs are in line with your goals.  Topics Discussed: Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax Spending (00:0:52 – 00:04:26) Charitable Donations as a Tax-Deductible Marketing Expense (00:06:51 – 00:07:39) Clothing & Equipment Deductions (00:08:10 – 00:08:57) Gift Giving as a Business Expense (00:10:22 – 00:11:25) Conferences, Training, & Learning Write-Offs (00:11:25 – 00:12:26) Retirement, HSA, and Healthcare Deductions (00:12:51 – 00:15:06) Paying Your Children (00:15:06 – 00:16:25) Capitalization Policy (00:16:26 – 00:17:53) Business Travel Write-Offs & The Augusta Rule (00:17:53 – 00:23:50) Striking the Balance between Deductions and Business Goals (00:20:02 – 00:24:27)   Resources: Episode 126 | Small Business Gift Giving: A Holiday Tax Guide Episode 136 | Health Care Tax Deductions for Small Business Owners Explained  Episode 137 | Can You Legally Hire Your Children?: How to Pay Your Kids, Get Tax Advantages, & Create Generational Wealth Episode 188 | Beyond the Business: Preparing for a Secure Retirement Free Gift | ‘How Much to Pay Yourself as a Business Owner' Calculator  KSA Tax Partners | https://ksataxpartners.com/    Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc
