Give the Grooviest Gift of an Experience, Time, or Learning
This year, skip the impersonal gift cards, cheap chocolates, and forgettable toys – ramp up excitement with unique holiday gifts that will be remembered for years to come! Whether you’re shopping in advance or looking for a last-minute gift idea, here are 50+ ideas for gift giving that will create lifelong memories (for anyone on your gift list).
The Gift of an Experience
Make an addition in someone’s life storybook with an experience gift! Pro Tip: Get creative with the presentation of your experience gift – don’t just hand them a certificate or ticket. Wrap a tiny boat, model airplane, toy car, miniature horse, helium balloon, kite, bottle of wine, or something similar that “fits” with your gift.
