Cut Down On Wrapping Paper This Christmas With Experience Gifts

An assortment of boxes, wrapped in glittery, colorful paper adorned with ribbons is a familiar sight under our Christmas trees. When Christmas morning comes, we rip through these cute wrappings to get to the surprise inside the box. And the glittery, colorful paper along with the ribbons, go straight to the garbage.

What a waste! Why spend for something that just gets torn and ripped and discarded?

This Yuletide season, cut down on wrapping paper, and help save trees, by giving experiences as a gift for Christmas. Experience gifts are gifts that are not confined to a box, and therefore do not need glittery, colorful paper and ribbons. These gift ideas come wrapped in excitement, thrill and adventure, and, most importantly, make lasting memories that the receiver can treasure forever.

So cut down on wrapping paper and give these experiences as a gift for Christmas:
