How to Give Wonderful Experiences as Gifts

Instead of giving books, socks or another electronic device, why not surprise someone with the birthday gift of a great experience. What does your friend or family member enjoy? Ice skating? Opera? Country western concerts? Here are a few ideas to get your imagination in gear.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Beautiful greeting cards
• Tickets and gift certificates of your choice

1. Buy a certificate for them to enjoy a day alone at a spa, or get tickets to a play you can see together. How about tickets to a basketball or baseball game? Do they love ballet? Then get some tickets.

2. Place the tickets or gift certificate in a beautiful card. Write the name of the gift recipient on the envelope.

3. Hand the card to your friend or family member. Watch their face light up with the thrill of the anticipated experience.
