The gift-giving season has rolled around, and you\u2019re stumped again.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to give your friends and family something they already have, so you\u2019re tempted to get a little too creative with a gift they\u2019ll never expect.<\/p>\n

But those wildly unique gifts almost never work out well — I think you know the ones we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n

That hideous necktie. A 5 piece set of mustard scented candles. The ugly sweater that wasn\u2019t actually a joke. We\u2019ve all received a gift we\u2019d gladly live without.<\/p>\n

So how do you avoid giving that unwanted gift to the person who already has everything?<\/p>\n

Answering that question just got a whole lot easier, because this is the year that you\u2019ll give the gift of experiences rather than objects.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve all been given a gift that headed straight for the trash bin, most of us are overwhelmed with joy when we receive an experiential gift that\u2019s dripping with thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n

Gifts of experience resonate at a deeper level with the recipient, engaging with all five of their senses to bring them a truly meaningful adventure. When you take the time to hone in on the recipient\u2019s hobbies and interests, plan well in advance, and pay attention to the details, you can create a gift experience they\u2019ll remember forever.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually been proven that gifts of experience work better<\/a> than material gifts for improving the relationship between the gift giver and the recipient. According to Dr. Cindy Chan, an expert on consumer relationships, “An experiential gift elicits a strong emotional response when a recipient consumes it — like the fear and awe of a safari adventure, the excitement of a rock concert or the calmness of a spa — and is more intensely emotional than a material possession.”<\/p>\n

So whether it\u2019s for mom, dad, or your significant other, a hands-on gift is sure to please and earn you a few extra brownie points to boot.<\/p>\n

Here are our four favorite choices for experiential gifts.<\/p>\n

1. Gift The Gift Of Creativity<\/h2>\n

They\u2019re more of an artistic amateur than a Michelangelo, but you\u2019ve noticed how often they mention their childhood love of painting.<\/p>\n

You can be the hero by purchasing a space for them in an art class.<\/p>\n

Whether you choose pottery, painting, or drawing, tapping into their creative genius is sure to be a hit. And art has more than just entertainment value – research shows that visual art<\/a> increases well-being by activating the body\u2019s natural healing process and enhancing positive emotions.<\/p>\n

Some painting classes are combined with wine tastings for a delicious and visually stunning pairing. Or, choose a local ceramic studio and let them sculpt their way to greatness.<\/p>\n

2. Adventure In The Mountains Awaits<\/h2>\n

They\u2019ve been talking your ear off about how much they enjoyed that trip to Vail<\/a> last winter, so why not surprise them with lift tickets and dinner at your local ski lodge?<\/p>\n

For an avid skier<\/a> — or the friend who\u2019s always wanted to learn how — there\u2019s nothing more thoughtful than gifting them time in the mountains.<\/p>\n

If you have a certain day in mind, you can buy them a date-specific ski pass and one for yourself to join in on the fun. Or, if you want flexibility, you can purchase a gift certificate and they can choose the day for themselves.<\/p>\n

Fresh snow, adventure, and mountain air are some of the best gifts that money can buy. As the saying goes, \u201cYou can\u2019t buy happiness, but you can buy a ski pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Courtside Seats Are Pretty Sweet<\/h2>\n

For the sports fan<\/a> in your life, the gift of a day at the stadium will be just the \u201cticket.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve probably already got the jerseys, caps, and other team paraphernalia piling up in their closet by now, but courtside seats? Now that\u2019s a real treat!<\/p>\n

Remember to pay attention to the small details to make the gift even sweeter. Things like tucking the tickets into some team-logoed gloves to keep their hands warm at the game or a gift certificate to a restaurant across the street from the stadium all show you\u2019ve gone the extra mile.<\/p>\n

4. The Luxury Of A Spa At Home<\/h2>\n

What could be more soothing than a day at your own home spa?<\/p>\n

Creating a home spa experience is easier than you think, and with Zeel\u2019s in-home massage app<\/a>, wellness can be on the way within hours.<\/p>\n

Carefully placing some candles, preparing essential oils in the diffuser, and setting up a bit of background music all make the atmosphere more soothing. When the professional massage therapist arrives, their muscle tension will ease and their stress will melt away.<\/p>\n

\"Book<\/a><\/p>\n

You can schedule<\/a> an individual or couple\u2019s massage with a massage therapist in Zeel\u2019s network, and they\u2019ll come to your home on the day you choose.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know their schedule or you\u2019re sending it from afar, you can give the gift of a holiday massage Gift Certificate<\/a> from Zeel and they can call to book their massage on their own time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
