“Maybe Christmas (he thought) doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.” — The Grinch
You don’t have to be a toy-hating Grinch to appreciate having less “stuff” wrapped up under the Christmas tree. This holiday season we are encouraging you to re-think the way you do your holiday shopping with the Family Fun Edmonton guide to Experience Gift Ideas. Show the same love and spirit of giving when you give the gift of a memorable activity or outing they can look forward to after the holidays.
While a gift card may not seem quite as impressive to unwrap, we think all of the great Experience Gift Ideas on our list will bring double the joy. Your recipient will get the surprise and excitement when they first open the gift and the second wave of excitement when they actually go on the experience. Plus there is something to be said for the anticipation and excitement of waiting!
