Why Experience Gifts Matter
She doesn't need more stuff
I know I'm not the only woman in the world who buys what she wants when she wants it...and I know how frustrating that is for anyone else trying to shop for me. Several years ago, I told my family I thought we should make the switch to gifting experiences - opportunities to spend time together, and maybe even do something fun we wouldn't have done otherwise.
She wants to feel seen, confident, & cared for
That said, there are some things I want and don't buy for myself, and that's where experience gifts for women can win the internet (and the gift-giving game). For example, I told my husband I would love a massage for my birthday. He came through with a gift card to my favorite spa (Fusion Lifespa in Minnetonka if you're in the market). Not only am I getting a massage over winter break, but I paired it with a decadent curative bath. Sure, I could buy that for myself, but I just don't. It was truly the perfect gift!
5 Experience Gifts for Women That She’ll Actually Use
A Permanent Jewelry Moment

Permanent Jewelry is a fantastic gift, whether you get it together and make a memory, or give your bestie/sister/gal a gift card so she can do it on her own or with friends. You can customize your piece with a charm or connector that commemorates the relationship, and you can even gift a gift card with a charm or connector that she can add to the bracelet, necklace, or anklet she creates. Grab a gift card or send her to a Brunch, Bubbles & BOGO event.
A Skincare Experience She Doesn't Have to Overthink

Consider adding a link to my skincare quiz to your gift, using the QR code shown here. If she isn't quite sure what she needs, she can take the quiz and I'll provide recommendations along with free samples! Plus, there are some amazing skincare gift sets available right now that you can suggest or just grab on your own.

A Personalized Scent That Feels Like Her
