Consumerism, it’s just everywhere and whilst we all love a beautifully wrapped prezzie, sometime stuff is just… stuff. And we really don’t need more of it.
In fact these days more and more people are turning away from the traditional gifts and nicknacks – unless they serve a real purpose, they just add to the pile of waste that we as humans are so good in producing.
Experiences have become the new in thing, and its definitely where it’s at. More and more people are taking up personal challenges, going new places, seeing new things. Creating experiences that will stay in their memories for a lifetime, their own personal ‘bucket list’ as it’s become known. So if you are looking for a unique present that will really matter this year, something that will last forever, then why not give the gift of experiences and not stuff this Christmas?
