Sometimes when I’m struggling to come up with a gift idea for someone, I try to think outside of the box. So often we feel that we have to give an item that the person will want, use and like. Perhaps one of the best ways to come up with a gift for the person who has everything is to stop trying to get them a physical item and instead give them an experience. Surely nobody has done EVERYTHING, right?
Cloud 9 Living is a website where you can purchase experience gifts such as skydiving, a hot air balloon ride, massages, creative experiences like art classes, scuba diving, whitewater rafting and more.
I’m not much of a thrill seeker, I prefer calm environments. While I wouldn’t enjoy skydiving or riding in a helicopter, I’d love to experience the different art classes such as pottery classes, photography lessons or a glass blowing class. Ryan on the other hand would love to do the more risky events. In fact, he’ll be going Skydiving at some point in the future. We have a certificate for him to use but we have to find the time and money to get to Ohio where the certificate can be used. I’ll be writing about his experience after he does it.
If you have someone on your list who isn’t a thrill seeker or a creative mind, there are other options like food tours, golf lessons, city tours and more. There really is something for everyone.

Hi there! I am Emily Evert, the owner of Emily Reviews. I am 28 and live in a small town in Michigan with my boyfriend Ryan and our two pugs. I have a large family and I adore my nieces and nephews. I love reading memoirs, and learning about child development and psychology. I love watching The Game of Thrones, Teen Mom, Sister Wives and Veep. I like listening to Jason Isbell, John Prine, and other alt-country or Americana music. I created Emily Reviews as a creative outlet to share my life and the products that I love with others.

I think I’d want to try one of the art classes too. Neat idea for a gift!
