The CNY is coming, how to pick up good gift? Experiential gifts create memories that last forever. And they can take virtually any form and fit any budget. If you’re worried about disappointed kids on Christmas morning, don’t be. There are ways to package an experiential gift, too.

It could be as simple as seeing a movie a day during the holiday break or maybe attending a teen idol concert. Skiing, snow tubing, ice skating outings—they all count. You know what your kids like.
This could mean tickets, a souvenir, or a t-shirt from your destination. Headed to the beach? Wrap a (recycled plastic) beach toy.

Add some mystery. What’s more fun unwrapping an envelope that leads to a clue-filled treasure hunt that leads to the gift? Arguably this works best if you have older children. Stash a cache of information about the experience—brochures, videos, maps, etc.—that you can share closer to the big day to stoke excitement and create build-up.

Experiential gifts don’t only make this time of year safe; they make it special. And don’t forget to let your kids know you’re more than happy for an experiential gift, too. What parent doesn’t wish for a kid-crafted IOU coupon for a Saturday sleep in?
