Experience Gifts for the Whole Family in Kansas City

If you have a kid or 2 (or maybe 5 like me!) you know all “the stuff” feels too much REALLLLLY quick.

A gift here, a gift there, suddenly you have a mountain of toys thrown in the living room waiting for assembly & a million batteries.

It’s just NOT my jam so years ago our family decided that experience gifts were the way to go!

This looks a little different each year & that’s the beauty of it! The experiences can be tailored to the specific likes of your family or to each child during this season of life.

Some years we do a group trip/event & some years we plan a one-on-one date with each child.

My kids particularly love the one-on-one days we’ve planned for them! It’s so special to design a time JUST for them and it’s such a treat to be able to get to know them better & engage with their passions.

Time is a valuable resource so if you’re ready to throw the toys out the window & enjoy time with your family, check out the list below for experience gift ideas. If you’re in the Kansas City area, use the clickable links to get your Christmas shopping done FAST but if you’re not local, use the list to brainstorm ideas for your area.

ALSO take the list (here’s one of my favorite parts!) & when a family member asks for ideas for your child send THIS LIST to them!

One last thing….if you’re looking for an experience gift for a MOM, there is nothing more valuable then spending time with her family! She uses her camera to take so many pictures to remember this life she loves & she would be THRILLED if she could be IN the beautiful photos & videos! Let her put the camera down, spend time enjoying her family & as a result have a meaningful family film & photos as tangible proof of the love of her family! Oh & if you’re the mama reading this, click the photo below & drop the link into someone’s lap (or inbox!) as the perfect gift idea this Christmas!

Let’s start making memories!
