It's here! It's here! The 2019 edition of The413Mom's "Experiences, Not Things Holiday Gift Guide." We all have enough stuff -- why not add a few local experiences to your gift giving list this year.
Here we have a selection of some of the best experience gift ideas in the area: museum memberships, fitness opportunities, art and music lessons, educational programs and more for all ages. I hope you'll find a gift giving experience here that will strengthen and enrich your family or help a loved one discover a new passion -- because memories are so much better than things.
Happy Holidays! We would love to be able to support all of the local businesses. They each have a special gift that everyone could use this holiday season. I think my kiddos favorite would be Edaville. They would love to go see Santa the trains light up for the holidays. What a magical time this would be. Thank you for this awesome opportunity to win.

Edaville and the martial arts would be so special for my two little guys. One loves trains and one thinks he is a ninja 😂 I love the gift of experience rather than just more “stuff”! What excellent suggestions!

I went to Blanford as a child but my kids haven’t gone skiing yet! Would love to take them there.

My family loves camping in Otis; I think hitting the slopes at Otis Ridge would blow their little minds!
What a great roundup of local attractions; many of which we know and love already, but so many good new-to-us ones to check out this winter.
