Did you know? 💡⬇️⁠ ⁠ A 2010 study from Cornell University found that the positivity we feel towards a material purchase quickly fades as we become used to it and consider what we might have had instead, whether that be a later model of phone or a better deal. 😒⁠ ⁠ But experiences don’t suffer in the same way! In many cases, happy memories about those experiences can last for a very long time, sometimes the rest of our lives 💥⁠ ⁠ Little surprise, then, that there is such growing interest in giving experiences as gifts. A survey of professionals by LinkedIn discovered that almost 80% of respondents would prefer to receive experience gifts. And a study by Deloitte in 2017 of more than 5,000 Americans found that over a quarter liked the idea of giving experiences as gifts instead of tangible items.⁠ ⁠ What do you prefer to gift or get? Physical, material gifts or stories and experiences? ⁠ ⁠ #experiencegifts #givestoriesnotstuff
