Experience Gifts for Kids

Experience gifts are some of the best gifts in my opinion. You can always get more stuff, but you can’t always spend more time with the people you love. Here are a few ideas if you’re considering giving an experience gift to your kids.

Memberships

Whether it’s for the science center, children’s museum, or other fun place, a yearly membership makes a great non-toy gift for kids. It’s something the whole family can enjoy all year long!

Family Vacations or a Camping Trip

Purchase a new sleeping bag or something special for a family vacation to wrap up and place under the tree. When your child opens their gift, you can surprise them with a super fun family trip too! My family loves to go camping – it’s a cheap way to get out of town and have fun together!

Special Day With Mom or Dad

Make a gift certificate for your child entitling them to a special day out with mom or dad. You can include a list of fun things your child can choose to do on their special day as well.

Tickets to a Show

Get tickets to a live performance you know your child will love like Disney on Ice or a music concert.
