Re: minimalist desis ?
CB, Why would you want to give away something that holds sentimental value? I have also kept my children’s first clothes and many other things because they hold lovely memories for me. I thought OP was mainly talking about minimalist living around the house. I know people (read mum!) who have accumulated 7 or 8 dinner sets because they were on sale! Numerous glass sets were bought because House of Frasers had a 70% sale on 
! And a larger cabinet was bought to acommodate it all! Its this kind of hoarding that is actually quite prevalent amongst the desis that atleast I know.
I think a certain kind of minimalist living can be achieved if we just didn’t buy three, four or five sets of the same things…
