Gift giving is tricky business. You want a present that shows the recipient you know them well, but that you’ve put time and thought into finding the perfect gift for them.
Of course, we all have our failsafe go-to like a scented candle or bottle of scotch.
And, while there’s nothing wrong with a proven favourite, there’s nothing like the warm-and-fuzzies you get when you find the perfect, one-of-a-kind gift that isn’t plonked straight on the shelf.
An “experience gift” is one sure fire way to become the favourite family member or friend this Christmas.
Gifting a loved one an activity or adventure translates to a memory they’ll never forget, and there’s always the added bonus you can join in the fun.
They don’t have to be an adrenaline junky or adventure enthusiast to reap the enjoyment of an experience gift, there’s something for everyone from massages and classes to getaways and tours.
