By Chanin Victor

HAVE YOU DONE YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING YET? The Santa Monica Observer would like to share with you the 2021 Holiday Gift Guide: Elevate The Gift Giving With Experience Gifts from our friends over at Santa Monica Macaroni Kid. Definitely check out this amazing Gift Guide!

The holidays are here, and if you're like me, you want to be the one who gets THE perfect gift for everyone on your list. I mean, let's face it, sometimes you need a unique gift for that person who has everything, it happens!!! When I really need to think of a gift that is extraordinary and out-of-the-box incredible, I always give an "Experience Gift". What's an EXPERIENCE GIFT? Experience + Gift = Experience Gift! The best part about this type of gift is that it allows the recipient to have an experience, as opposed to giving a material gift or simply "stuff". Remember, a material gift is something they'll enjoy for a little while, but an experience gift is something they'll remember for a lifetime.

Besides being something incredibly thoughtful, experiences to gift are way better than expensive presents. Instead of adding to the deluge of material items, (the monetary or tangible gifts), especially to those friends and family that have too much stuff, focus more on gift-giving that will create memories, (the experience). It may be a tiny break from your family's tradition, but it's an alternative to gift-giving that may even make the holidays more meaningful and possibly start a new family tradition. So are you ready to kick your gift-giving up a notch or two? We've got some incredible gift ideas that will have everybody grinning from ear to ear all 8 days of Hanukkah, Christmas morning, Kwanzaa, or whatever holiday you celebrate!
