Most of us can remember that one toy we had to have (looking at you, Tamagotchis), but it’s the experiences—the family traditions, shared adventures, and belly-laugh moments—that truly stick with us.
So, why spend hours guessing the perfect gift or cluttering up your living room with plastic toys destined for the donation pile? This year, give the gift of experiences—something meaningful, fun, and lasting. Supporting local businesses makes it even better, creating memories tied to the heart of our community.
From toddlers to teens, we’ve rounded up some of the best local experience gifts in town. Let’s make this holiday season one they’ll never forget!
