We can begin by saying that the spirit of Christmas has been completely lost due to the excessive capitalism that has invaded us all globally and individually, and blah blah blah... Who cares why? what is it? When Christmas comes we all like to give super special gifts and of course, receive the biggest surprises that the person you love so much has come up with. It doesn't matter how much you receive, but what you receive.
If today you still receive a sweater or "something practical" for the house, it's because they haven't caught on to your style yet. Sad? Don't take it that way, think that it's because they still don't know that the greatest adventure of your life (and theirs if you dare) is just a click away. A parachute jump? A snowmobile route?A balloon ride? Travel the most beautiful via ferrata? It doesn't matter. You have everything that involves adrenaline, fun and originality here.
And, looking back to a few years ago, before a pandemic stalked humanity in a 2020 (sadly) to remember, people have changed the chip and we look for gifts that manage to leave speechless at our goal. In 2018 alone, for example, more than 50% of gifts were experiences and in 2019 almost 43%.
But it's no use getting melancholy because, although this fateful year has taken away too many moments from us, the next one looks much better and, although cautious, we will return to the fray to live the best moments with our loved ones, starting with the moment you see the face of surprise from that person when they know that you have given them a bungee jump.
Material gifts were left behind. Nothing compares to feelings, the explosion of emotions and uncontrollable highs. Giving that as a gift is on another level, because being realistic, material things end up being devalued but memories (and even more so if they are good) never do.
The statistics speak. If before we told you what has increased giving experiences, now we go one step further and label the top adventures to give as gifts for Christmas. The ranking is led by horseback routes, paragliding flights and parachute jumps, the least popular being (only on these dates, be careful) canyoning, flights strong>hang gliding or zip lines.
We are getting more daring! But taking into account that adrenaline generates dopamine (happiness hormone)... who doesn't want to be happy? Hence, we are becoming more and more regulars at extreme sports, and if you are not yet in this group, Christmas is a good time to join.
If you are one of the most traditional and make a gift list for this Christmas, even if we make some enemies... you are dull! The surprise factor is essential and if not, look at the data that says that 43% of people between 55 and 64 years old prefer to be surprised, as do 36% of those between 25 and 34 years old. What's more exciting than waking up one morning and not knowing what Santa Claus or the Three Kings have brought you?
And if you want to convince yourself that giving adventures and experiences "is in fashion", think that it is the perfect alternative if you have left your Christmas shopping until the last minute. Get here and find the best gift composed of the greatest adventure and the greatest love. If you want to dress up as Melchior or whoever your favorite wizard king is, it's up to you, but you already have the perfect gift.
