are experience gifts the new trend?
While natural skincare and nurturing wellness products make excellent gifts for family members, friends and Kris Kringles, often our loved ones already have everything they want or need. So what makes experience gifts a strong contender for the festive season and beyond?
what is an experience gift?
Experience gifts provide your loved ones with memorable moments that linger in their heart and minds. It’s reminiscent of Maya Angelou’s famous quote – “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Often, experience gifts come in the form of gift cards. Your loved ones get to choose the date, time, location and type of experience, which adds to its overall appeal.
what makes experience gifts appealing and why are they trending?
Experience gifts have soared in popularity as they give loved ones the gift of choice and a unique feeling they can reflect upon fondly.
Think of it this way – experiences lead to memories. Memories can last a lifetime. Experience gifts give them a story to tell, a feeling to cherish and a period of time they’ll never forget.
who benefits the most from an experience gift?
That’s not to say any experience gift will suit everyone. The lucky recipient will always appreciate an experience gift, provided it’s something they’re interested in.
Just like gifting physical things, there still needs to be thought and effort put into finding the perfect experience. As for who benefits from an experience gift, everyone can: mum, dad, siblings, friends, colleagues, teachers – the list goes on. Ideally, it’s something the recipient either needs, enjoys or has never done but has always been curious about.
what about spa treatments? Are they the perfect experience gift?
We say yes! A spa treatment is their time to prioritise themself, helping unwind after a busy period. They are an especially beneficial time to refresh, recover and rejuvenate the mind, body and skin. Below are other reasons why spa treatments make the perfect experience gift:
