Explore Experience-based Gifts Instead of Something Physical This Year

Look, getting presents is really nice. I always get giddy with excitement unwrapping that large box and trying to guess what it is at the same time. But let’s be honest, more often than not, that new gift will loose its newness relatively quick and it may end up sitting on a shelf or in a closet collecting dust within a year or two. This year, try giving the gift of memories and experiences. They don’t take batteries, they don’t break, they never get outdated, and they come with one of the best kinds of lifetime guarantees, because they’re guaranteed to last a lifetime.
