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 artist:

    • Gift a membership to the Frist Art Museum for your art-loving friends. Some perks include early access to new exhibitions and exclusive member hours.
    • For the movie buff if your life, the Belcourt Theatre offers a variety of membership levels (and this limited edition shirt). Support a local theater and get discounted tickets, popcorn, drinks, and more. Win, win.

    For the foodie (and wine drinkers):

    • Calling all turophiles. If you know what that means, you likely know someone who loves cheese. Greys Fine Cheese recently opened at Sylvan Supply and offers cheese pairing classes (think: wine, chocolate, and charcuterie).
    • For wine lovers, City Winery’s monthly wine club, Vinofile Plus, is a can’t-miss gift. Members can take home one featured wine each month, tour the winery annually, and enjoy many other perks.

    For the sports fanatic:

      For the fan of family time
