I personally love experience gifts! I think most of the time they're more memorable and more treasured than any physical gift. One time I gifted my husband a canoe trip for his birthday because he loves canoeing. For my birthday this year, he gifted me a trip to a couple of restaurants in the cities we want to check out and the Como Zoo. It was perfect and I loved it! And two Christmases ago I gifted my dad tickets to a concert.

Experience gifts are awesome! So either take these ideas directly or use them to inspire another experience gift idea perfect for the person or people on your shopping list.
