We quite often fret for hours at a time on which we should share with someone. We look over catalogs, analyze their habits and try to determine what gift best exemplifies our friendship or fascination with them. So what is the best gift to provide? Is it an expensive high-definition television, or is it the easy homemade quilt? According to research done by Harris Interactive, it's none of those.

Within this study that included 12,000 individuals, most of the respondents chose experiential or life experience gifts over material gifts. This can be a good idea for you to give as a gift that will be sure to please. For many people, while a handmade gift has sentimentality behind it, nothing beats the gift of the life experience.

What is a life experience exactly?

To know that, you must first think about what the person you're buying for wants to experience more than anything. We're not referring to experiencing and enjoying the newest home theater system or luxury car, but things that change someone's image of the world and of oneself.

For many, it might be seeing a baseball game at Yankee Stadium, or perhaps a hot air balloon ride with the Alps, while for other people it might be touching the Pyramids. No matter what it's, the life span experience will remain using the person you give it to, long after a material gift finds a spot in the back of the closet.

Of course, life experience gifts are not exactly cheap. Flying someone to Egypt for a tour of the Pyramids comes at a lofty price, but is the fact that one-time price not well worth the joy and sheer exhilaration you'll share with a special someone?

Often we put too much emphasis on material possessions and during Christmas, this really is more evident than ever. It's quicker and easier to simply get that gaming system for someone rather than spending the time choosing the best river rafting trip which will blow their minds.

Has got the Harris Interactive poll has anything to say about this? Obviously. The additional effort makes it worth while because while the gaming system will provide countless hours of entertainment, the white water rafting trip will remain with this someone special for many, a long time.

So get rid of those notions of buying gift cards, socks or other material things throughout the holiday season. Venture out, purchase a life experience and help open your brain of this person you care so much about.
