It's the day before Christmas, something celebrated by a lot of people around the world. If you're still looking for the perfect gift to give someone, I recommend give them an experience, not more stuff. For most people in industrialized nations, the last thing anybody needs is more stuff. What seems like a thoughtful present is something you got to think about, store, move with you, ensure we don't need more stuff. When you look back at your life, you remember the experiences. You value the experiences so much more than stuff. If you're going to give a gift, give the gift of experiences.
