Don’t Give Useless Gifts, Give Experiences!

Don't Give Useless Gifts, Give Experiences!

Stop the commercialism attached to Christmas!

We don’t need another useless gift but we can always do with more fun and exercise! Stop all the wrapping paper and bows that get thrown away that are so environmentally unfriendly.

During the year I look out for fun things to do that most often revolve around exercise or getting into nature. I write them down and on Christmas day I take out the jar, everyone chooses a few and we set out to do as many as we can. You don’t have to only do this at Christmas but why not try this during the year to create fun weekends and family outings? Often they just silly things but we have so much fun!

Here are some ideas (these a just a few):
  • Wall climbing
  • Mini golf
  • Ten pin bowling
  • Walking to the top of a hill (Northcliff hill) and watch the sun go down with a drink
  • Play a board game like Monopoly or Uno
  • A Thai foot massage for all
  • A picnic at a Botanical garden
  • A hike into the country (2 -5km hike) and then a drink after
  • A group dance lesson
  • Movie night
  • Go listen to music
  • Theatre
  • Ice skating or skateboarding
  • An exercise class to 70/80’s disco music
  • Indoor cricket
  • Canopy tour
  • A group music lesson
  • Horseback riding in the country
  • A group cooking class
  • A wine tasting
  • A home facial or foot massages around the pool
  • Visit an unusual museum
  • The Planetarium
  • A bus tour of the city
  • A night market
  • A treasure hunt
  • Advanced driving course
  • Find the adventure in you and rekindle a love of laughing, exercising and having fun! We have all had a hard year, so break out and enjoy life! You only have one to live!
