Big Ticket Experience Stocking Stuffers For Christmas
And affordable gifts as well…
Gifting experiences to my family is my absolute favorite thing to do when it comes to giving during the holidays. Here are some big ticket stocking stuffer ideas as well as a bunch of more affordable gifts as well.
If I’m going to splurge on a gift, it’s going to be one that brings joy and makes memories. Some big ticket ideas…
Live Musical or Show
Tickets To A Professional Sports Game
Disney Trip or Snow Trip
Holiday Lights Garden Visit
Afternoon Tea
Amusement Park Admission
Financial stability is hugely important in life. Ensure that you have prioritized saving and investing before splurging on gifts. Creating sinking funds, savings buckets dedicated to specific purchases, throughout the year can help you spend below your means and avoid financial trouble.
If you are looking for more affordable gifts, here are some ideas. Listing the luxurious option and less pricey option hopefully offers everyone some alternatives within range.
(Affordable options don’t necessarily mean they are less luxurious, but I use the word “luxurious” for lack of a better one.)
Lots Of Gift Options
Luxurious: Afternoon tea experience Affordable: Tea gift box to enjoy in the comforts of home
Luxurious: Two dozen red roses in a glass vase Affordable: Long-lasting bamboo or succulent plant
Luxurious: Sushi-making class and sake tasting session Affordable: Pottery-painting session
Luxurious: Fruit basket with wine and cheese Affordable: Specialty fruit jam (Stonewall Kitchen Blueberry Jam is a fave!)
Luxurious: Fire extinguisher and jumper cables with battery pack Affordable: Safety flashlight
Luxurious: Tickets to an NFL, NBA, NHL game Affordable: Tickets to a college game
Spending time together is truly the most important aspect of the holidays. If gifting is not a tradition or within your means, enjoy a nature walk with family, have a sports watch party at home, delight in a holiday movie together, or plan a picnic and play catch or football at the park.
Many ideas cost no money.
Just aim to have fun and make memories!
