The season of giving has arrived! In this gift guide, we want to share ideas for presents that aren’t physical objects but can create something even more valuable: memories. These suggestions are perfect for encouraging you to get outside, explore the natural beauty of your surroundings, and engage with local businesses and your community.
Classes or Courses
Do you have someone who has mentioned a pottery class once, twice, or maybe every time you see them? Or is this something you are interested in doing with them? Courses or one-off experiences like pottery, art, cooking, dance, yoga, you name it, offer an excellent way to build memories and tap into new or old skills.
Camping, Glamping, Getaways
Imagine a getaway with friends, family, or your special someone, filled with shared experiences and laughter. This is the true gift of a camping trip, where you can fill your cup with endless memories and maybe a few bug bites! For those who prefer something a little more comfortable, glamping or a wilderness getaway offers you a chance to reconnect with nature and each other, creating a bond that lasts a lifetime.
Guided Outdoor Adventure
Companies like Get Your Guide or Viator operate virtually everywhere, offering a wide range of guided experiences. From thrill-taking adventures to food & wine tours, natural experiences, and sporting events, there is something for everyone. This variety is sure to pique your interest and inspire you to give the gift of a unique experience.
Park Passes
Have someone on your list who loves to hit the tails or the slopes! Park passes are the gift that keeps on giving and offering them unlimited visits for a set period, usually a season! If you are lucky, they will take you with them!!
As we embrace the spirit of the season, let’s remain mindful of the impact of gift-giving. Staying true to the spirit of generosity, we should spend time with those we love most. Let’s not contribute to mass consumption this season; instead, let’s give the gift of experiences! Rather than giving or receiving something that will likely end up being thrown away, let’s focus on creating lasting memories together.
