Are you still looking for that perfect gift that shows how much you really care? You can give experience, knowledge, and skill that has value long after the holidays are over. You can give the Gift of Learning.
Research shows that the best gifts are trending toward an experience, rather than a material object. The experience of a cooking or crafting class brings fun and pleasure at the time, and a skill useful in the future. Give someone the gift of a world language class and open their door to travel and cultural enrichment. For those family members who may need a little direction toward a career path, gift them a computer course or medical skills class. For the best memories, purchase a class you can take together, to share the experience and share the fun.
Your gift will never go out of style
