L would looooove it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-experience-gifts-what-have-you-given-lately#post-1943483 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:02:30 +0000 Skadi 1943483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! I don't have much experience with this, but I love the idea. I'm hoping we can convince DH's parents, who go crazy with the number of gifts they give, to do something similar.</p> <p>Are there any Mommy &amp; Me music or dance classes you could take? A carriage ride together (I know it's cold, but you could bundle up and bring a thermos of hot chocolate)? Maybe a cooking class for kids? Swim lessons? A kid's pottery class? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-experience-gifts-what-have-you-given-lately#post-1941480 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:45:00 +0000 DillonLion 1941480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really hoping to come up with a good experience gift to give LO for her 2nd birthday. It is hard to do much outdoors because her birthday is at the end of November. She has more than enough toys at home, especially because we are out of the house so much during the week, she barely has time to play with the ones she does have!</p> <p>There is a really great science museum downtown as well as a pretty great aquarium. So we may do that! Those are both pretty far away, though, so I might try some of the more local places that we've never been to before.</p> <p>Have you given any great "experience" gifts lately? What did you give? </p>
