Holiday shopping can be a little tricky sometimes. Sure, you may want to fill up their stocking with trinkets they’ll love. But making memories together is one of the best gifts you can give to anyone you love. If you’re looking for gifts that will last far beyond the holidays, consider the gifts of experiences.
Holiday Gift Ideas – Experiences
1. Spa Day – Who wouldn’t love a spa day? Grab a certificate from their favorite spa (or choose one you love) and pair it with a makeup kit for the ultimate gift of relaxation and beautification.
2. Theater Tickets – Get tickets for a great show in the next couple of months for a fun night out. Pair it with their favorite theater candy or snack.
3. Cooking Class – If you have a foodie on your list, a gourmet cooking class is the definite way to go. Search local listings and cooking specialty stores for options. Pair this gift with a set of basic cooking utensils (whisk, wooden spoon, chef’s knife, etc. are all great options).
4. Weekend Getaway – If you know someone who has a case of wanderlust, setting them up with a credit for a weekend stay somewhere is the ultimate gift. Pair this with a great weekender bag for easy packing.
5. Staycation – If a weekend getaway is out of the question, pick a new resort or hotel in their area – preferably one with a great restaurant – and give them a voucher for a night’s stay and dinner for two. The hotel can usually help arrange a great staycation experience. This also pairs well with a weekender bag.
6. Brunch with a View – Treat them to brunch at a spot in their city that has a spectacular view for a change of scenery from the norm. Pair this gift with a bottle of champagne or prosseco to set the tone.
