If you are wanting to give your kids something different for Christmas this year that doesn’t involve more toys and stuff, consider giving them the gift of experiences.

Is there a certain trip you have been saving for? Give them plane tickets for Christmas.
Do they love going to the local Children’s Museum or Zoo? Buy them a year pass.
A future water baby in your family? Get them a season pass to a water park.
Have a big video gamer in the house? Give them a credit to Game Stop.

You can even buy them a gift card to their favorite store. Granted…I know lots of people that hate giving gift cards because they say it’s too impersonal. If you go about it correctly and thoughtfully it can actually be a very meaningful gift.

If you are scratching your head trying to figure out what to get certain people on your wish list or you are trying to figure out what to give that person who has everything….consider giving them an experience for a gift. They will love it!

You can also never go wrong with personalized gifts like photo calendars, digital photo books and things like that. Memories are the perfect gift. Here is a great one going on right now:
