Gift giving can come with a lot of pressure. Plus, we all have that person on our list who either has it all or doesn’t want it all. This holiday season, think outside the box … literally! The gift of an experience offers your loved ones the chance to make memories or learn something new. Thanks to local organizations, there’s something that will appeal to anyone on your list. Plus, it’s a great way to support the beloved institutions that help make the StL shine.
