I must share this memorable birthday I had when my dd was the only child. She was about 3 or 4 and dh had bought a slice of cake (we were going thru a rough period then) and this lovely bday card with love coupons. One of the coupons was for dd to perform a jingle and do a dance. She chose that coupon herself and put on a star performance. I remember smiling til my jaw muscles ached. I still have the card with coupons intact ;p It really was the best birthday celebration simply because it is so unforgettable- in a good way- and made me so so very happy!

I definitely love experience gifts, and always encourage them. I have gotten my husband an Intro to Archery lesson. I did this with him; no one wants to do experience gifts alone. Other ideas that we have done include theater tickets, dinner at a five star place, manicure spa afternoon (with my mom).
