Its that gifting time of the year!\u00a0 A time to start our extensive research to find that perfect gift for our friends and family, and lets face it, this can be a BIG challenge.\u00a0 I have some suggestions for a more unique set of gifts that are better than getting “stuff”.\u00a0 These are great gift ideas that your special one(s) will not forget and they will put them in a great mood!\u00a0 Oh, and its all clutter free.<\/p>\n
There are lots of places offering memorable activities that can be shared as a gift.\u00a0 Loads of museums, art galleries, music venues, sports events, farms, animal\/nature reserves and so on all offer activities that you can share with your someone special.\u00a0 There is nothing better than going out for half a day and sharing that experience.\u00a0 You will get some walking done, perhaps a little sunlight and fresh air, and most importantly you will share in making great memories!\u00a0 Here is a little tip.\u00a0 Get a nice card and envelope where to put the tickets in and write a meaningful memo on the card a perfect gift!\u00a0 A couple of years ago I purchased two tickets to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts for an exhibit I knew my wife would love to see.\u00a0 I bought a nice chocolate bar and tied the museum passes with a ribbon string to the chocolate bar and gave it to my wife.\u00a0 She was very happy with this gift, and since that time we have returned there many times!<\/p>\n
So be creative and start to look for fun activities and experiences in your area to gift to your family and friends!<\/p>\n
I am going to throw a little twist into the age old coupon book.\u00a0 Instead of you offering to do the chores by yourself, make a chore coupon book where you will be a chore “assistant”!\u00a0 The goal is to share time, regardless of what the chore is.\u00a0 Its all about sharing experiences, learning from others and striking conversations about anything you’d like to talk about.\u00a0 Folding laundry is one thing, but folding it with a parent and just talking could turn out to be a gift that you may actually enjoy giving over and over again.\u00a0 This might even turn into a tradition!<\/p>\n
One of the best ways to boost your health and happiness is with a nice walk in nature.\u00a0 This one is especially a great idea kids can offer when money is tight.\u00a0 You can make your own card with an invitation in it to go for a lovely nature walk.\u00a0 You (the kid) provide the company, and the parents provide the ride.\u00a0 Find a nice day and go out there!\u00a0 As the year ends and days become shorter, it is very healthy and uplifting to go out and get some daylight and fresh air.<\/p>\n
Sometimes showing that you care in a cause that’s dear to someone else is one of the most beautiful things you can do.\u00a0 We all know what causes and issues our friends and family stand behind so why not make a contribution on their behalf and just let them know that you supported their cause.\u00a0 This is a simple gift to give and also a great way to strike a conversation about why these causes are important to them.<\/p>\n
I hope that these alternative gift ideas help!\u00a0 If you are stuck inside due to bad weather and want to get a daylight lamp for a board game or a good read then please keep us in mind!\u00a0 We offer loads of great daylight lamps that will cheer you up and give you natural light for hobbies<\/a><\/strong>, knitting<\/a><\/strong>, reading<\/a><\/strong> and more.\u00a0 Thank you for supporting us for so many years and thanks for reading our little plug!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Its that gifting time of the year!\u00a0 A time to start our
