Asking For Experiences Over Gifts

Do you ever have those moments when someone says "Hey! I need Christmas ideas for you" and you just freeze, your mind goes blank and you can't think of another thing you could possibly need or want.

Maybe even someone needs an idea for your child, your significant other and you think to yourself "well, they have enough of [this] and enough of [that] and we really don't need more junk in this house." That's where booking an experience for someone that they normally wouldn't book for themselves comes in!

We were so stumped on what to get our nephew for Christmas this year when his mom suggested we get him something that would involve us taking him for the weekend and trying something new!

I was so inspired by that idea, I not only now have four other people getting the gift of an "experience" for the holidays this year but figured we could put together a little gifting guide for anyone else who is stumped this season.
