In fact, more often than not, the gifts that people appreciate fall in the category of “experiences” rather than things. These types of gifts include: • Tickets to sporting events (basketball, baseball, hockey, football) • Gift cards to restaurants • Tickets to cultural events (theater, major art exhibit, the symphony) • Small vacations/retreats (a weekend at a bed-and-breakfast) • Certificates to a spa, for a manicure, or a free round of golf at the local country club • Shopping “bucks” at a local mall • Gift cards to a housewares store or bookstore
