In 2020, Give the Gift of Experiences

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, along with all the Spring and Summer birthdays and anniversaries, consider giving a different type of gift this year. In 2020, Give the Gift of Experiences!

Here are 5 great reasons you should give experience gifts:

Foster togetherness

While tech and gadgets are typically used alone, experiences are best enjoyed with significant others, friends and family. Spend time with your loved ones this year by gifting experiences. Anything from concert tickets to an afternoon at the movies to an unforgettable beach vacation are all great examples.

Make memories

If you want to give a gift that keeps on giving, give the gift of experiences. While enjoyment of objects can diminish over time, experiences continue to make us happy as we recall the memories. Plus, the recipient will probably love reminiscing and looking back at photos of the experience after it has happened.

Give anticipation

When you book someone an experience like a food tour, winery trip or a vacation to the beach, they will also experience pleasure looking forward to the event. Plus, you can lessen your own stress of an upcoming holiday by giving a creative gift. The receiver of your experience gift will remind them that something fun is coming up.

Decrease competition and stress

We often judge ourselves against our neighbors and it is only human nature to do so. However, this effect can decrease when giving experience gifts. There’s a vacation or beach trip that can fit into almost any budget, which should also lessen your gift giving stress.

BOGO

If you make a movie reservation or plan a family vacation, you will be giving yourself an amazing present as well! Think of it as buy-one-get-one in gift giving.

A vacation is the ultimate experience. Gift your significant other a great Valentines’ gift or your loved ones a relaxing vacation stay at the Surf Side Hotel in 2020. Book a room as an experience present, visit in 2020 and enjoy the anticipation in between!
