Love giving gifts.

Hate capitalism.

Meet the 2025 Holiday No-Buy Guide: a free digital zine for people who adore gift-giving season and want their money to flow without padding billionaires’ pocketbooks or piling up clutter.

Inside you’ll get a short reframing of what a gift can be, a set of no-spend ideas you can do with time/energy/skills, a round-up of free digital offerings from creators I trust, a simple way to de-influence yourself when trends come around, a handful of accounts to follow for de-conditioning from consumerism, an “is this actually a good gift?” checklist, and a 72-hour ritual you can perform when the urge to impulse buy comes sliding down your chimney.

You already know you don’t need to show your love with a Labubu, and you want your money—when you do spend it—to make a real, material difference in someone else’s life. Whether you’re a funemployed friend with time & skills to spare, a caregiver who’s rich in love but strapped for cash, or just someone who’s trying to work their anti-consumerism muscle, this guide is the (free) gift that keeps on giving.
