The common theme we hear from customers is that they don’t know HOW to gift an experience. Children are used to receiving physical items/gifts and people feel they may be disappointed to receive an intangible gift. We gathered the 21 best ideas on how to gift experiences so kiddos will be just as excited as opening a toy!
- AScavenger Hunt (prize is an envelope with gift certificate)
- Treasure Hunt with map leading to a gift card
- Gift card in card or wrapped box

- Gift certificate or greeting card noting what the experience is
