*Experience* Gift Ideas

Shopping and shopping days are slipping away, so if you’re still looking for gift ideas, here are some experience gifts that can be given any time, but are redeemed in the future!

Day Date to a Museum or Botanical Garden

Museums are informative and inspiring, and we love a museum gift shop! The gift can be a planned day, the cost of admission, something from the gift shop to commemorate the day, or whatever feels best for you to give the intended recipient. Depending on the cost and level of friendship, a membership could be a gift as well! You could go with them, or plan it for a couple or family.

There are so many, but here are a few places that I love (which are geographically convenient for me): the Biggs Museum, the Brandywine Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin Institute, the Smithsonian Institute (which are free and includes the National Museum of African American Art and Culture, the American Art Museum, the Freer Gallery of Art, the Sackler Gallery of Art, to name a very few!), Longwood Gardens (my favorite place, if you’ve noticed!).

Beauty Date

Can be a salon gift card, can be a self-made coupon, can be an appointment! Possible services include manicures or pedicures, facials, massages, or something else offered by your favorite local salon.

Could even be combined with a meal, or a movie night, or done at home combined with a friend night. Know your audience, I mean, gift recipient!

Shopping Day

Invite a friend to check out your favorite places, like local boutiques and vintage troves, go thrifting or antiquing, or enjoy a day traipsing around the mall (which feels so nostalgic to me!).

Your finds that day will remind you of the time spent together. The gift could include some spending money, a gift card to a specific store, or paying for fuel (a stop for lunch or coffee along the way!).

Wardrobe Therapy!

Do you have a friend who needs help with their closet? Maybe someone who wants some style or shopping advice? Someone with a new job or an upcoming trip? Give the gift of Wardrobe Therapy! Read here for more information on what Wardrobe Therapy is, and why someone might need it.

When giving as a gift, you can include my business card, a blurb from my website, and/or the questionnaire. Contact me (mary@yourwardrobetherapy.com or 302-233-6112) for more information!
