The holidays are about being with friends, family and loved ones, right? But what if you spent so much time with them, you forgot to settle on the perfect gift to hand them at the next holiday party, or to wrap underneath the tree? Or maybe you purposefully want to step out of the box this season and get something your giftees are sure to remember. In either case, maybe giving the gift of experience is the way to go.
