Overwhelmingly, they indicated it’s the experiences more than the things they remember and love the most. Here’s what they said: “A couple of years ago we asked family for things to do – gift cards to local restaurants, science activity kids we could do with the kids, gift card for local museums and tours, as class of some sort … that type of thing. Memories last way longer than the newest electronic device, a toy they lose interest in or a knick-knack that breaks.” ~Natasha Harth “Time. Honestly, whenever my husband asks what I want, that’s all I ever ask for. Spend time with me. The best ‘things’ he’s gotten me are the sweet gestures he’s made. When I come downstairs at the end of the day, tired and spent, I’m surprised with a glass of wine, the fire pit burning on the patio and a quiet couple hours of talking. Those kinds of gifts are worth more to me than anything!” ~Natalie Hayek “My family back home and I either exchange handmade items or experiences. My brother and papa worked together and made every family a unique cutting board, took pictures while they did it and sent it to each family. I crochet things. Or we send gift cards to places to make memories.” ~Tesha Jackson “I love experiences, so my family gives and receives gifts cards go to do things – zip lining, hotel stays, indoor sky diving, spa days, etc. Something fun for the whole family to splurge on together. For friends, a small gift we do for neighbors is a Redbox code, popcorn and candy for a movie night at home. You could even throw in a gift card for pizza delivery.” ~Kim Robertson “One year I painted simple little 4x6 canvases for friends and family. I made them all snowman/holiday themed and tailored them to the personality of the person I gave each to. I also bought inexpensive black frames for each. Year after year I get messages shortly after Thanksgiving thanking me for that gift of personal and heartfelt seasonal décor they are able to display year after year!” ~Mary Nelson Connect with us on Facebook!
