A growing number of Americans are choosing to give experiences as gifts instead of physical products.
Experiential gifts can include activities like cooking classes, concert tickets, or outdoor workshops.
Several companies, such as Groupon, MasterClass, and Airbnb, offer a wide range of giftable experiences.
Over the last few years, my family and I have "quiet quit" traditional gifting; not in the sense that we never give gifts, but rather that we opt for more memorable presents like experiences or activities, as opposed to disposable products that'll be forgotten within a couple years.
Evidently, this has been a rising trend among many Americans; a 2024 Deloitte holiday retail survey projected that holiday spending on experiences would rise as much as 16% year
