We love to think our presents will be up on the mantelpiece forever. But let’s face it: some things are destined to add to our closet clutter.
It’s been on-trend for a while to offer experiences, rather than things, for gifts. To help you level up your gift-giving game this holiday season, check out our curated list of giftable experiences so you can sleigh the holidays.
🍫 For the foodie:

For $100 a person, visitors will pair SoChatti’s four origin chocolates with different wines, taste charcuterie, and make chocolate covered fruits and candy.
The salt cave has enough room to hold a communal session.
