Material gifts are great but experiences gifts create memories – a gift that can last a lifetime.
In the last few years, we decided that the gift of an experience is way more valuable than something material. We have too many things that we don’t need or that we tire of easily. The gift of something that we can do or learn or experience creates memories, which are way more valuable.
Here are some ideas for experiences that you can gift for the holidays.
