Whenever you are willing to replace those material “gadget-and-gizmo” gifts with something more meaningful, consider experience gifts. An authentic Santa Monica experience is something your loved ones will never forget. Experiences help create long-lasting memories. The best part? There is always something for everyone! Whether they love the outdoors, fancy a bit of luxury in their life, or are connoisseurs of fine dining and culture, you can give them something special in Santa Monica.
Explore the Santa Monica Pier
Here’s something I found out is people’s favorite—a day trip to the famous Santa Monica Pier. This pier has a grand historic carousel, full of rides, fun, and entertainment. There are plenty of options available at your hand. You can gift someone a day pass to the Pacific Park or simply let them soak in the view as they fish. No matter what, the pier never disappoints.
Indulge in a Spa Day
Everyone deserves some pampering, especially your close ones. What better for a day of pampering than a spa day gift? A soothing facial, a rejuvenating massage, and a gentle foot rub; it’s the perfect combo for a day of gentle recovery. Whether you’re a tourist or a Santa Monica resident, this is an offer no one can decline.
Savor a Culinary Adventure
The Santa Monica eat-scene is one of the most diverse ones around. A food tour is ideal for the person in your life who loves sampling new flavors, textures, and cuisines. They will have the chance to try delicious food, drink wine, and be able to sample their way around the city.
Enjoy Outdoor Activities
Santa Monica has beautiful weather and scenery. The recipient of your experience gift will love the opportunity to be outside and enjoy the great outdoors. A day hike or a class where they can learn a new outdoor activity will be the perfect gift for them. They will come back refreshed and full of energy.
Experience Art and Culturethen the
Santa Monica is a cultural hub. No matter what type of culture the person in your life loves, there will be something they enjoy. Whether they love a performance they can see at The Broad Stage, or want to visit the Bergamot Station Arts Center, they won’t be disappointed. The person who loves art will enjoy the gift of a private gallery tour or a painting class. Giving them a cultural experience will provide you with a happy and fulfilled loved one.
