Buying a gift for Ian is so simple. I love that he appreciates every gift he receives — especially the homemade pictures and cards from his little guy, Kaden. I could easily gift him a shiny new grilling set and a case of beers to complete his day.

How romantic am I?

Ian may be easy to shop for, but finding the perfect gift for other members of my family can be a daunting task. As much as I'd to pretend that I never feel the pressure to deliver something unique, I have to keep it real. Most times, I have found it difficult to find unusual gifts for men that would solicit the type of response that would boost my ego. Because as we know, giving a gift is really all about the person giving the gift. Right?! Wrong! I need your help, people. Where can I find the perfect gift for the guy in my life, or anyone for that matter? Something extra special, exciting, adventurous or out-of-the-ordinary?

I have a running list of possiblities:

A tie. No.
A new sweater. No.
A pair of socks. No.
A video game. Maybe.
A crowd of paparazzi waiting by the door as you emerge from the local Walmart. I won't exclude this idea.

For now, I want to stick with an idea that is practical and will possibly create a memory or two.

I believe Xperience Days can help out with this mission.

From the XperienceDays.com website:

After visiting this site, I immediately thought of the perfect "xperience".

Chesapeake Bay Sailing for Two

I arrived at this decision based on a number of factors:
The only thing I need to consider is the location of this experience. It is quite a driving distance away, but we could easily make a mini-getaway out of it.

This brings me to another point about Xperience Days. Not only should you search for things to do in your state or area, but you can look for things to do if you happen to be going out of town. How cool would that be to use your pass in another state?

If you're indecisive like I am at times and you do not know what to choose just yet, try purchasing a gift certificate.
It looks like both you and I have a lot to consider. Who knew finding the perfect gift could be so fun?!
