Good Gifting

I love giving a good gift. Yesterday we attended my friend’s seventith  surprise party. For a month I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what to get him. As of last week, all I could think of was a  gift card.

 

 

Finally on Friday, I found the perfect gift. My husband and I travel with the friend whose birthday it was. So, clearly, something related to travel would be a perfect gift. In addition, he loves art. So, after some searching on the internet I found a combined food/ street art tour of Williamsburg. The second I read the description I knew it would be the perfect gift for him and his wife that we could enjoy with them.

 

 

When he opened the gift at the party, I anxiously watched for his response to it. He was truly excited and exclaimed, “I cannot wait to do this with you.”

 

 

I loved making my friend happy with the perfect gift. Are you a good gifter?

I used to be a great gift giver putting much thought, research and time, as you did, into that perfect gift. Now as I am older and seemingly busier, gift cards are taking over. Maybe as a gift receiver, at my point of life, I don't want an "item" per say. I have become a card user too, so I think that way now. But that tour sounded cool.

My favorite gifts to give and receive are providing experiences, like you just did.

love using xperience days they offer tours, wine tasting, golf lessons, sailing, photography lessons, dance lessons and many other fun things to do in Manhattan and various other places....sounds like the gift you gave! Great idea.
