Finding the right gift is tough—especially if the recipient doesn’t need more stuff. Maybe you have a friend who keeps attempting (and failing) to Marie-Kondo their apartment, or perhaps a dad who tells you he doesn’t want anything for Father’s Day. Consider experience gifts instead; these unique gifts create lasting memories, generate less waste and anxiety around unwanted presents, and make excellent last-minute gifts, as they’re almost all available in gift cards, e-gift cards, and gift certificates.
There are plenty of options for great experience gift ideas for all types of people. When a boxed gift just doesn’t cut it, support your partner’s secret dreams of singing with a MasterClass in vocals from Christina Aguilera. Spoil newlyweds with a quick getaway for two. Say “Happy Father’s Day” by picking Dad up in a vintage Porsche. Encourage a grad to hit the trails this summer with a National Parks Annual Pass. Heck, get one of your kids signed up for band camp.
