Are you tired of browsing through holiday sales in search of the perfect gift?
Maybe you find yourself impulse buying when deals hit just to have something to give your loved ones.
I used to be the same way.
Create gift experiences
A few years ago, I began gifting experiences to my family.
I’ve found that buying tickets for a trip or event creates a way to spend meaningful time together.
My kids also tend to remember experiences more than opening a bunch of physical presents.
My daughter is a huge Moana fan and is excited about the latest Moana 2 release.
She’s been dying to see it, but the closest movie theater is nearly an hour away.
Not sure where to start?
Here’s my advice
My approach doesn’t involve shopping big sales or scoring limited-time deals.
It is important to still budget since experiences can be costly.
I’d rather put our money towards gifts my kids actually enjoy and remember.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to try this out.
Maybe there’s a day trip to a nearby city your child has been begging to take.
For my family, switching to experience gifts has helped us save money during the holidays.
The real perk is how it’s helped us grow closer and have more fun together.
