Give the gift of experiences – Last minute gift ideas

You are here:

I don’t want to give something simply because it’s the social norm and I don’t want to give someone something that won’t be treasured.

I strive to give meaningful gifts and I’m sure you feel the same way.

When you’re having trouble deciding what to gift someone, instead of gifting a random item just to say you gifted something.

Here are some experiences you can gift that will have the recipient feeling overjoyed.

Gifts for the special couples in your life:

  • Date night – One of the struggles marriages face is not being able to go on dates for reasons such as lack of childcare, feeling too busy, and even lack of funds. Bless a marriage with a date night subscription box.
  • Cooking or dance classes – What better way to bring a couple closer than for them to grow together. Get them a gift voucher to an introductory cooking or dance class.
  • Tickets for theater, concerts, sports or comedy shows – Experiences that will invite them to laugh, grow, and connect in a deeper way.

Gifts for the Teen in your life:

  • Season pass to an attraction – The thrill of roller coaster rides are popular with teens.
  • A mom & son OR mom & daughter journal – Teens have a lot going on in their own worlds. A private journal for both of you will strengthen that bond and help your child express the flood of emotions he/she feels as they discover their uniqueness and you watch them flourish.
  • GeoCaching – In my search for experiences I came across this awesome adventure that perfect for anyone of any age. But, I believe it’s a great experience to share with a teen in your life. The best part is that it’s FREE. Gift wrap it in a basket with a water bottle, binoculars, and an invitation to join you for GeoCaching.

Gifts for the Young Child in your life:

  • Kiwi Crates – Give the gift of imagination, knowledge and endless adventure with this monthly science subscription box.
  • Gift a pass to a local amusement park, museum, theme park, bowling alley, miniature golf course, or skating experience – Any of these experiences will delight your child’s senses.
  • Whale watching day trip – Take your child on a day trip to experience the magic of these magnificent water creatures as they splash out of the water. A memory they will never forget.

Gifts for the man in your life:
