Gift giving has never been my specialty. It was confirmed when we went to visit my nephews and niece in San Antonio last month. While there, you know what I saw? The new, unused toy we gave our nephew last Christmas. Almost a year later, the remote-controlled car sits in its box in the back of a closet.
The truth is it’s harder to choose gifts as children get older.
Interests vary from kid to kid and even from month to month. It’s also hard to compete with technology. Dozens of games and apps are at children’s fingertips. Traditional toys have become hard to make appealing to ages 9 and up. And you don’t want to be the aunt who gifts clothes!
Research shows that experience gifts are the way to go.
Studies found that “experiential gifts are more effective than material gifts at improving relationships from the recipient’s perspective.” Experience gifts give the recipient more flexibility and customization. They leave a lasting impression long after the holiday season is over.
Cue in, Star Glampers Sleepovers . . .
“It’s not just a sleepover party, it’s an experience!”
We had the absolute pleasure of having Star Glampers Sleepovers set up a special sleepover for back to school. My daughters at the time were 9 and 6. They absolutely loved the entire experience. It was just the two of them, but it made our routine Friday movie night the most memorable experience.
Star Glampers Sleepovers provides our community with so much more than sleepovers. They were voted The Best of El Paso in two categories and have various experiences to meet any size event and budget!
Sleepovers
Star Glampers Sleepovers are epic. They provide everything you need for the perfect sleepover. Individual Teepee style or A-framed tents are set up with a real foam mattress, pillows, and sheets! The Glamp Squad helps you personalize your event and has various themes. I chose the Paris theme for my daughters. They loved it. The part I loved most–Star Glampers took care of the entire setup and clean-up for us! The perfect gift experience does exist.
Pamper Parties
Pamper parties have become popular! Star Glampers Sleepovers can provide the ultimate pamper experience for the special little diva in your life. It includes a DIY facial station and a DIY pedicure station with bubbly pedicure tubs. This would make such a memorable birthday party!
Sip & Paint
Sip and Paint stations can be the best addition to a sleepover or given as a gift all on its own. The Glam Squad provides a custom floor-level table and all the supplies for your little artists and their friends to create art and memories. I plan on gifting this to my niece and hope she uses it to host a Galentine’s party next year!
Luxe Picnics / Glamping
Sometimes a kid just needs a night in with pizza and their besties. A Luxe Picnic includes a full place setting for each guest and cushions all styled in your theme/colors. You can upgrade your experience with a spacious bell tent or even consider a deluxe Movie Screen add-on! This would be such a sweet gift for kids and even young adult nieces and nephews!
