Gifts you “do”

I’m going to try hard to find ways to give my family and friends experience gifts  this year. I doesn’t mean that I won’t wrap up a scarf or a pair of earrings this holiday season, but it does mean I’m on the look out for gifts that my family and friends will do, rather than dust.  I’m thinking about things like  massages, concert tickets, dance lessons or a ride in a hot air balloon.

If you’re looking for a gift for the women on your list, check out the Smart Talk Connected Conversations. Each year a group of inspiring, amusing (and smart!) speakers are part of the line up at The Aronoff. This year the speakers are Tim Gunn, Arianna Huffington, Kara DioGuardi, Vy Higginsen, and Andie MacDowell.  I guarantee each of them will offer up gems that will stick with you for quite some time.

You can get a deal on the series right now. Enter “SANTA” to get 20% off the series, or check out the 3-packs available for a limited time by calling 866.341.0003.
