15 Experience Gifts for 2021 Gift Giving!

01 Dec 2021

15 Experience Gifts for 2021 Gift Giving! This year, we have decided to include many experience gifts to our holiday list. These gifts allows families to decide when to use the gift, and also reduces clutter in the house. However, we understand it’s probably not practical to give 100% of your gifts in the form of experiences, but even switching a few over will help spread the holiday cheer throughout the year.

Experience Gifts for 2021

Gift card for local ice cream shops or a kid-friendly restaurant. Kids love the promise of ice cream.
Passes to an area zoo. Memberships or day passes are available for advance purchase! Perfect for the animal-loving kid in your life. Some of our family favorites are EcoTarium, Southwick’s Zoo, Davis Farmland and Roger Williams Park Zoo.
