You don’t often hear the words ‘minimalism’ and ‘Christmas’ together but Red Beach couple Kate and Tim Hall are bringing these unlikely concepts together with their latest project, The 12 Days of Minimalism.
Hibiscus Matters last met the couple in May when they were doing the Minimalist Challenge (HM June 1), giving away some of their possessions every day for a month, in an amount that corresponded to the date.
That HM story was picked up here and overseas and as a result Kate says they receive messages from all over the world asking for tips and advice.
She says while they have no intention of becoming full-blown minimalists, “embracing minimalism helps to save money, clear cluttered spaces, and de-clutter your mind”.
With that in mind, Kate and Tim are encouraging everyone to join them in their new initiative, The 12 Days of Minimalism.
From December 1-12, the Halls will give away the number of items that correspond to the date – for example, on December 3, they will give away three things, and so on.
This will be 78 items given away in total.
To take part, via Instagram and Facebook, use the hashtag ‘12daysofminimalism’ and follow the challenge on Instagram @ethicallykate or @timmay.hall.
“Christmas is for giving,” Kate says. “Let’s remove the attachment we have around ‘stuff’, and de-clutter our homes. A de-cluttered home means a de-cluttered mind, and everyone needs this during December.”
