Receiving expensive physical gifts may impress us in the moment, but thrilling experiences stay in our memories forever, and they do not have to cost an arm and a leg. Experiences remind us of the good times in our lives and we bond with each other through our experiences, which is something money cannot buy. The best gift you can give someone is from the heart and knowing someone personally helps you build that perfect experience that a loved one has always wanted to do. You can be a part of making their dreams come true.

Science has proven that experiences make us happy. I remember the exhilarating experience of receiving a SkyDrive experience for my birthday. It was something I’d always wanted to do, and it’s something on most people’s bucket lists, but I never would have booked it myself. That would mean I HAD to do it!! Having my friend right there with me, I had no excuse to back out and this thrilling experience changed my life forever! I felt more achieved, more confident and on top of the world! It’s a memory I will cherish forever, and I’m so grateful that I could share this experience with someone, that friend of mine was the only one crazy enough to do it with me and that meant a lot!

Gifting an experience doesn’t have to be as extreme as skydiving, it could be something more relaxing like a spa break or getaway for someone who doesn’t ever take a break and is in much need of some relaxation. The sentiment shows you care. It could be a day out with the family to spend some quality time together, or it would be an exhilarating supercar driving experience which they would otherwise not have the opportunity to do, or a subscription service for something they really enjoy. You can search for, ‘experiences near me’, ‘experiences for couples’ or ‘experiences for kids’. Whatever experience you chose to gift someone, they will appreciate the thoughtfulness behind it and that’s what makes it special.

If so, you should gift them an experience! Gifting them something personal shows thoughtfulness and how well you know them and what they would enjoy doing. We often get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of life and don’t make time for experiences which give us a mini escape from reality to recharge our batteries, you can give them that time out for themselves.

Sometimes people are reluctant to plunge into an experience themselves, so if you gift them an experience for two and offer to go with them, they are much more likely to go ahead with it and you could make their dreams come true! If they chose you to go with, you may also step out of your comfort zone and most likely to enjoy yourself too! A memorable experience together is a win-win situation!

Just think about the times you have spent together and what your loved one has enjoyed doing and what they didn’t enjoy so much! It could have been a nice meal out or a day trip they often reminisce on. This should give you an idea of what they would enjoy, whatever you choose, make it unforgettable!
