Christmas is just a few days away! Eek... how did that happen?
Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? If you're anything like me, then there's a good chance you're not even half way through! But with only a few days left it's time to get shopping and put those presents under the tree.
The biggest reason I tend to put off Christmas shopping until the last minute is because I never know what to buy for anyone. The kids usually come up with lists that they curate throughout the year, but for many others on my gift list it's not so easy. It becomes extra complicated when they have limited space, live far away (shipping gifts can be costly) or there isn't anything they really need or want.
Gifting experiences to the rescue!
I've been a big fan of gifting experiences for a long time. Living on the opposite side of the world to friends and family long term makes shipping gifts pricey, and sometimes there are strict limitations on what can and can't be sent. Gifting experiences means no shipping costs and you can even leave it the last minute thanks to the internet. I mean, it's always nice to have something wrapped under the tree, but if you're a last minute gift shopper like me, email makes things so much easier.
If you're in Colorado (or have someone on your gift list in Colorado) I've got you sorted with a list of my favorite gift experiences this holiday season.
These are all family friendly options, but great for anyone on your list. I've broken the list into 3 categories:
