There are always a few people on my holiday shopping list that are ridiculously hard to shop for. You know the people who already have everything, have hard hobbies to shop for, or you just have run out of ideas in general… Instead of roaming around the mall or looking aimlessly online for a gift when I am totally stumped I will just go over to Excitations. Excitations offers wonderful experience gifts! Now I don’t have to give a boring old candle, movie, or lotion. I can give a meaningful experience that will also make memories.
Experience gifts from Excitations are available across the country. Instead of giving a gift that someone can wear, eat, or watch, an experience gift is something that you DO! For example you can give your friends and family a glider ride, or a sushi-making lesson, or a chance to drive a NASCAR car. Excitations has over 2,000 experiences, and the choices are endless!

While I am gift shopping I really want to make sure I am buying something my loved ones will really enjoy and use. I love the idea that I can give a gift that they can enjoy, use, AND also makes a memory! Best of all, just incase whoever isn’t interested in an experience gift I gave them, they can easily exchange it for something else. So if I give my grandma the gift of skydiving and she isn’t really feeling it, she can learn to make sushi or whatever else she wants to do instead!
Some of Excitations top-selling gift experiences are: Extreme Stock Car Driving,Picnic at the Vineyard, Hang Gliding, Skydiving, Sushi-Making,Gourmet Enthusiasts Cooking, or a Wolf Watch. Each region has its own unique set of cool experiences, offered by local businesses, and vetted up front by Excitations.
When you choose your experience you DO NOT have to choose a booking date. The recipient has all the information they need to decide on a day that works best for them. Also the cost of everything is the same as if you went straight to the provider, except for when Excitations has special deals like on Black Friday, etc.
I have been SO behind on holiday shopping this year. I haven’t finished my shopping, and I definitely haven’t started wrapping anything. After I order an experience gift I can either print the certificate from my computer or email it on whatever day I choose. Excitations makes gift giving even easier because they offer an attractive gift boxes, and Gift Box orders received by 2 pm go out SAME DAY via UPS ground shipping service. Excitations is such a great option for all holiday shopping, but especially when I am a major late shopper this year and might need some stocking stuffer ideas.

Excitations is now my go to place to gift shop, especially for those people on my list who are hard to shop for. Experience gifts are such a great option for unique and memorable holiday gifts for anyone you know. I know I will be shopping from Excitations all year-long.

About Megan
A picnic at the vineyard seems delightful to me. They all seem like such wonderful gift ideas.
We are all about doing experience gifts and Excitations sounds like a great way to give a gift that has a lasting memory instead of something like a basket of candy. I am so excited that this year the older kids are getting concert tickets to see Taylor Swift! Experience gifts are the best!
I heard somewhere recently that with a choice between an experience and a product that the experience is better. I’d love to be able to gift some great experiences for family as well as receive for myself.
I definitely prefer GETTING experiences, haha, so I should be giving them, too! ::Off to check who on my list is getting a boring candle, movie, or lotion:: haha Love that you don’t have to select a date.
these are some amazing gifts and i would definitely give these experiences to some of the people that i know and are hard to shop for. they would love them.
