Editorial gift idea · estimated planning band Under $25

A post-Christmas returns and donation route

Sit with the recipient while they sort only items they own into return, exchange, donate, recycle, and keep, then verify deadlines and destination rules. Handle packing, transport, receipts, and rejected items according to the written plan while leaving every final decision with the owner.

Make it personal without making it generic

Use the recipient's values, mobility, refund preferences, and chosen donation organizations.
