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. (Unless it’s from our Chattanooga gift guide, of course.)

It’s been on-trend for a while to offer experiences, rather than things, as gifts. To help you level up your gift-giving game this holiday season, check out our curated list of giftable experiences. The best part? No shipping.
