Maybe it's out of the box, literally.

Have you noticed more and more people are giving experiences as gifts?

A new survey from the National Retail Federation shows that shoppers are

continuing to prioritize thoughtful gifts this holiday as a continuation of a trend that started

during the pandemic, not just stuff, but something that reflects some particular thoughtfulness.

Nearly half of consumers, it said, 48% say finding a gift that's

unique or different is most important to them. I mean, 52% who don't say that, but still.

And 42% who say finding a gift that creates a special memory is important to them.

So listeners, what was an experience you received or gave that you loved?

Maybe your family took you to see an awesome play or something like that,

moms, or you could be the gift giver too.

212-433, WNYC, as we're looking for creative, out-of-the-box gifts that you've ever given or

received for Mother's Day that somebody could scramble up at the last minute if they're

just getting to it now.
