#79 Give the Gift of Experience

Most often, gifts such as toys, clothing, accessories, etc. after months or years, will no longer fit or hold your interests.  You may outgrow them, get bored of them, and want to dump them or give them away.  Always donate, regift, or sell these things whenever possible. 

When you are looking for ideas to give as birthday gift or holiday gift, give the gift of experience.  Take them to a zoo with you, to a climbing expedition, to Disneyworld, to a picnic, bake them their favorite cake, go fishing together, etc.  One year, ten years, fifty years down the road, these gifts of experiences trump any toys or diamond or clothing that they ever received.  They will have fond memories on these experiences that you shared with them.
