This is Day 10 in a 12 Post series: 12 Days Of Paperless Gifts. If you know someone who could use some help going paperless, or if you’d like to drop some hints, this series is for you. Don’t worry, the regular DocumentSnap tips will still be flowing.
I cringe whenever I see someone put a piece of paper with personal information into recycling or the garbage, especially when it is so easy to avoid.
A document shredder is a safety-minded if not terrifically exciting gift idea. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with wanting your special someone (or yourself) to be safe from identity theft.
