The ideal gift for your loved ones doesn’t necessarily have to be something expensive.
A personalised, handmade gift is timeless and imagine how cherished your friends and family will feel after receiving it.
More often than not, we end up purchasing gifts that just sit on the recipients’ shelf or a trinket that are occasionally worn. It’s time to change this preconceived notion that we’re about materialistic and flashy gifts. Instead, we should indulge in gifting experiences that matter, truly unique and personalised for the recipient.
Handmade leathercraft products are one such experience that you can consider gifting. Leather in itself is an exquisite material and elicits a wholesome affair when you indulge in its products.
This article will reiterate the importance of investing in experience gifts rather than materialistic, expensive presents.
After all, it’s the spirit in which a present is gifted rather than the gift itself!
And in times when outsourcing of presents has become so prevalent, personalised gifts and experiences make for the most meaningful gifts.
Gifts as an Experience
Experience gifting is a term that has come to the fore in recent years, due to which not a lot of people may be familiar with it.
To better understand the concept of experience gifting, consider this example.
You go out and buy a whole lot of gifts such as spa hampers, restaurant vouchers and theme park entrance tickets.
Would any of these gifts qualify to be experience gifts?
Yes, they would.
Gifts like restaurant vouchers and theme park tickets that allow the recipient to indulge in an experience fall under the category of experience gifting.
Experience gifting is when you give someone something that’s not just a gift but a life experience or an adventure. Rather than a material item, it’s a ‘doing’ gift. This concept has gained popularity as people are straying away from mindless consumerism and are looking to indulge in experiences that don’t have a price tag and are more fondly received.
Why You Should Gift an Experience
There’s always an element of doubt about the relevance of a materialistic gift.
Whether the recipient will indulge in its use or just keep it away and forget all about it?
On the contrary, through experience gifts, the recipients get memories wrapped in love, something that’s never covered in dust and never gets old.
Experience gifts have gained so much attention in recent times due to what they offer. Our packed routines keep us bound to our jobs, and we forget to take time out for ourselves and our loved ones.
The humdrum of our “have to’s” always have us procrastinating indulging in these experiences.
Thus, experience gifts subconsciously compel the recipient to take time off and spend quality time together with loved ones.
