Wrapping an experience gift is all about creating a unique and memorable presentation that sets the tone for the exciting experience to come.
Consider the type of experience gift you're giving, such as a cooking class or a wine tasting, and tailor your wrapping to reflect that.
For a more rustic or outdoor experience, like a camping trip, consider using a burlap or canvas wrapping material.
To add an extra touch, include a personalized note or card with details about the experience, such as the date and time.

Choosing an Experience Gift
Experience gifts can be a great way to create lasting memories, but they can also be tricky to wrap.
One thing to consider is that experience gifts often can't be brought to the person immediately to enjoy on the day of the holiday.
It's essential to choose an experience gift that's fun to receive on the day of the holiday, like a gift certificate for a fun activity or a special event.
Presentation Ideas
Make your gift unforgettable by attaching your gift card or ticket to a charming ornament. Every time they hang it on the tree, they’ll be reminded of the amazing experience you’ve gifted them!
You can also take a creative picture to represent the gift, such as a funny picture trying to do that activity yourself, like ballet or dance. This works great for activities like karate, etc.
Take a picture of yourself with your arm outstretched as if you were hugging someone and then show with a sign that someone is missing from that picture.
Road Trip Treats
Including road trip treats with event tickets is a thoughtful touch that can elevate the overall experience. This combo is perfect for a road trip to a concert, game, or theme park.
You can also include REFIT Live Workout treats for a fun and active journey. This is a great way to make the event even more enjoyable.
Pack your recipient's favorite snacks for a thoughtful and delicious road trip. It's a small gesture that can make a big difference.
Pair with a Special Ornament

Pairing a gift with a special ornament can make the experience even more unforgettable. A charming ornament can serve as a reminder of the amazing gift you've given.
You can attach a gift card or ticket to the ornament, making it a unique and thoughtful touch. This is a great way to make the gift more personal and exciting.
Every time they hang the ornament on the tree, they'll be reminded of the gift they received. This can create a special bond between the giver and receiver.
Create a Gift Representation
To make an experience gift fun to receive, you need to represent it in a creative way since you can't bring the person to enjoy it immediately.
Take a creative picture to represent the gift, which can be as simple as holding a sign that says "missing" or as elaborate as editing a photo to show the person in the location where the experience will take place.
If you're planning a special date, take a photo of yourself with your arm around nobody and edit it to indicate someone missing. You can also download a photo at the experience location and photoshop in the person you're giving the gift to.
Snap a funny photo of yourself attempting to do the experience, like ballet dancing or karate, to give the person an idea of what they'll be doing. Alternatively, edit an image of a celebrity doing the experience and paste in the head of the person you're giving the gift to.
Remember to abide by copyright law for these photos, especially if you plan to post them online.

- Take a photo of yourself with your arm around nobody and edit it to indicate someone missing.
