Finding that great birthday present can be overwhelming. And what’s even worse is when you know you need to get a gift that will be remembered — something that won’t be easily forgotten. I’m here to tell you that the perfect solution exists: an incredible experience gift that corresponds to the gift recipient’s personality. Birthday experience gifts mean wonderful experiences and great memories. This is why they make amazing birthday gifts.
The Creative Soul
If the person you are buying for has a creative side, you might want to consider getting them an experience gift that could allow them to be artsy. Sign them up for a painting or pottery class and let them show off their artistic talent. Or consider a cooking class that details new tricks and tips and is just plain fun for a hobbyist cook. The best experience gifts are hands-on opportunities to learn, and fun enough that they’ll make lasting memories and want to do it all over again.
The Nature Lover
Outdoorsy types are most at ease when in nature. Book them a guided hike, go on an excursion to an idyllic spot, or kayak with them. All of these activities provide more than the physical beauty of the outdoors — they also bring about peace and renewal. If you’re in the mood, a train ride that weaves through some of the state’s most beautiful local landscapes will provide both peace and beauty.
The Relaxation Seeker
For the person in your life who loves to be catered to and pampered, a spa day or wellness getaway can be the ultimate gift. Send them to get massages, facials, and all those luxurious treatments that will have them feeling brand new. Another alternative if you want them to take a vacation from the whirlwind of life is a yoga or meditation retreat.
The Foodie
For the loved one who lives to cook and eat, consider gifting them an incredible gastronomic experience. Maybe at a Michelin-star restaurant. A food and wine walking tour. Or, a cooking class with a celebrity chef. These dining adventures are ideal for eating great food, and learning more about food and life in the kitchen.
Finding someone the perfect birthday experience gift entails knowing what that person is interested in and knowing a bit about who they are. When you pick an experience that aligns with that person’s interests, you’re making a gift out of a happy experience. And since, as we all know, experiences are a strong function of our memories; you’ll be giving a gift that lasts a lifetime.
