As a mama of a teen daughter and busy toddler son, I’ll be the first one to tell you that I want something to truly EXPERIENCE for a gift this year. Because, let’s be honest: I’ve been living in leggings and sweatshirts for exactly nine months now and this house of mine does not need anymore clutter.
Who’s with me?
Even prior to pandemic-life, many families had been transitioning towards giving more gifts that are considered to be “experiences” and away from more physical gifts, or as we like to call them in our home, “random stuff we don’t need”. The good news is that even when many of us are working hard to stay home and not travel this year, there are still plenty of great experience gifts that can put a smile on your loved ones face – and yours as well. Disclaimer: You have my full permission to purchase each and every one of these for yourself this year.
Let’s dig into my TOP THREE “experience” gifts that you will want to give (& get) this year!
STREAMING SERVICES:
Disney+
While this die-hard Disney fan would love to be able to put a trip to Disneyland down as one the this year’s top 3 gifts, we ARE in a pandemic…. That being said, one of the most valuable experiences in our home is our Disney+ streaming subscription! Whether you prefer the animated classics, love the new series (any Mando fans out there?), or have kids that are as Disney-obsessed as you, you’ll be covered!
GET OUTSIDE:
National Parks
Annual Pass
One thing that is still super safe to do these days is get outside and experience this beautiful place we live! Whether you are looking for local day hikes or planning a family road trip, the National Parks have countless options for you and your loved ones. An annual pass to the national parks is only $80 and is perfect for the entire family. There are options for every skill level – and the memories? Priceless. *LOVING this pic of my daughter in the Redwoods a few years back.
THE ULTIMATE SELF-CARE EXPERIENCE:
V-Steaming Package
If self-love could be purchased, this would be it. Grab a virtual 1:1 vaginal steaming package at exclusive holiday pricing! So you might be wondering… What actually happens during a virtual v-steam session? DISCLAIMER: I will NOT be seeing you naked! Let’s break it down:
- After a thorough intake process via email, I will determine the right herbal blend for YOU and YOUR needs, as well as the appropriate steaming plan (to include how long, how often, and how much steam).
- If you happen to snag one of my exclusive Very V-Steamy Christmas v-steam packages, you will then get your custom herbs shipped straight to you (enough for 4-6 steam sessions).
- Once your herbs arrive, we will set up a time to connect via Zoom for your steam session. During the session, I will walk you through setting up your steam session, answer any questions you have, and be there with you virtually for the whole thing. While steaming, you can choose for me to facilitate a guided meditation or wellness consultation while you relax to your heart’s content.
If you are gift-giving this year, take some time to think about what experiences would put the biggest smile on the faces of your loved ones – and yourself.
Whether you are shopping for an outdoor adventurer, a stay-at-home introvert (that’s me!), or a mama in need of major self-care, an experience gift will be one that they will always remember!
