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).
