They say experiences are the gifts that will keep on giving. Whether it leaves you with a fond memory, a new set of skills, or just fresh perspective, there’s no doubt that experiences are valuable, as they are irreplaceable.Research has shown that experiences bring people more happiness than possessions. And who doesn’t want to be gifted happiness? Whether you’re shopping for your friend, your boss, a parent, or your significant other, it’s always great to think outside the box. Shopping for presents can be stressful and mentally draining. Having to consider every individual’s particular taste, if they already own an item, if someone else might be buying them the same item, all the while hoping that at the end of the day they enjoy your gift, and don’t end up returning it – or even worse, re-gifting it – is no easy task.We’ve put together a few unique ideas to assist you in your search for a standout gift this season.
No doubt there is something you’ve been wanting to try out but have been putting it off for whatever reason. Maybe you’re interested in learning Chinese but haven’t found a teacher yet. Or you’ve been wanting to learn Python but haven’t carved out the time for it. Maybe you want to pick up some cooking skills, but just don’t know where to begin. What better way of helping your loved ones cross off an item on their bucket list, than by gifting them an online lesson or a course? You can find coding lessons, vocal coaching, music lessons, video game coaching, dance lessons, baking lessons, and practically every other type of thing you could think of on Fiverr.
