In a world where we already have more things than we probably need, gifting experiences is a great way of spending quality time together and creating unforgettable memories. So as that special gift giving time of year approaches, here are a few reasons why experiences make the best gifts:

1. They create memories: Experiences create unforgettable moments that your family, partner, or friends will never forget and continue to make them smile when they remember them.

2. They give us something to look forward to: When we give experiences instead of material gifts, they give pleasure in advance. Your giftee will enjoy thinking about and anticipating their experience. Also, once the experience is over, they have memories and stories. 

3. They build relationships: Giving an experience to a loved one is generally more personal and shows you’ve thought about what they would enjoy. Giving an experience that you plan to do with them is also a gift of your time.

4. They break the routine: When life gets boring, it only takes a little push, an excuse to break the inertia and feel that rush of positive energy again. Having fun, breaking the monotony, making different plans, leaving your comfort zone, are some of the side-effects you can create after gifting experiences instead of something material.

 5. They give us something to talk about: It is more likely that, when talking to other people, we tell them about what we saw or the good time we had rather than things we own. More specifically, the experiences live on because the people who receive them tend to remember and re-live them long after they’ve ended.

 6. They don’t take up space: The good thing about giving experiences is that they do not take up space, hurray!

7. They are unique: Part of the wonder of experiences is knowing that no matter how many times you repeat an experience, they will always be different.

So now you know, no matter the occasion and the recipient, experiences will always be an original and thoughtful option that will providing lasting enjoyment.
