Why You Should Give Experiences This Christmas Instead of Gifts

Before you hit the mall this holiday season or boot up the computer for online shopping, consider gifting experiences instead. Here is why you should give experiences this Christmas instead of material gifts:

Experiences foster togetherness

While gadgets and gizmos are typically used alone, experiences are best enjoyed with friends and family. Spend time with your loved ones this holiday season by gifting experiences—anything from concert tickets to an afternoon at the movies to an unforgettable vacation.

Experiences make memories

If you want to give a gift that keeps on giving, give experiences. While enjoyment of objects diminishes over time, experiences continue to make us happy as we recall the happy memories. Bonus: the gift recipient will love looking at photos of the experience after it has happened.

Anticipation is a gift, too

When you book someone an experience like a winery trip or a vacation to the beach, they will also experience pleasure looking forward to the event.

Experience gifts decrease competition

It is only human nature. People often compare their gift hauls to others’. However, this effect decreases with experience gifts.

It can be a gift for you, too

If you book your spouse or friend a joint vacation, you will be giving yourself an amazing present as well!

A vacation is the ultimate experience. Gift your friends and loved ones a relaxing stay at the Beach View Hotel this Christmas. Book a room as a holiday present to give the best Rehoboth Beach has to offer!
