Living - Giving the Gift of Experience!

With just two weeks until Christmas are you still looking for gift ideas?  Why not give the gift of experience?  Are you tired of extra clutter after the holidays are over?  Too many gifts looking for a new place in your home?  Why not give (and even ask for) gifts of experience?

One of my favorite gifts received over the years is a membership to the Great Plains Zoo!  It has provided for many hours of "experience" and entertainment for my kiddos.  And best yet, it takes up very little room in my house, just a simple credit card size membership card! ha!

What types of gifts of experience have you received (and love) or have or plan to give?  Let us know in the comments.

Here are a few ideas:
*Great Plains Zoo Membership (keep in mind this also provides discounts at other zoos across the US!) or other zoo in your area.
*Tickets to a Movie
*Pamper Package (this can even be for little girls!) - even a frugal option such as Stewart School of Hairstyling.  They offer a Manicure and Pedicure package for right around $25!
*Lessons to dance, gymnastic or karate classes!
*My daughter would love an opportunity to pick whatever movie she wants from the Redbox kiosk and get to watch it!  How simple (and cheap) is that!
*Tickets to a sporting event
*Concert tickets
*A date night package to a couple wih small children that includes a gift certificate for a meal and a coupon for free babysitting. (Can you put this on my list?!)
*Travel - whether it be a big trip OR a small trip.  Possibly give them a choice from pre-designated choices!
*Cooking classes! 
*Tubing tickets (such as Great Bear in Sioux Falls)

Let us know what ideas you have!
