Downsizing Diva Karen Shin Presents..."Gifts that Jingle Your Bells!"

Members of the Central Eglinton Community Centre came to Delmanor Wynford for a gourmet lunch and very interesting presentation about the overabundance that tends to occur during the holidays.

From her years of experience helping seniors downsize and de-clutter their homes, Karen encouraged the guests to reflect on the gifts that have been the most cherished, as well as giving some thought to the meanings behind the gifts that they are planning to give over the upcoming holiday season.


 Participants shared how they had accumulated large quantities of scented candles and lavender foot creams.  Karen explained how often times people hang on to items that they don't use out of a sense of guilt or obligation.  She discussed how gifts of experiences or gifts of time with loved ones are usually of the greatest value.

 In this busy time of year, attendees were invited to revisit their holiday gift lists and think of each person and their unique personalities with gift giving, instead of simply another item to check off of their list.

Everyone in attendance found the seminar very interesting and encouraging.  All of the guests were very appreciative of the wonderful lunch that was provided by the culinary team at Delmanor Wynford.
