It’s official: holiday gift giving season is here, with its accompanying onslaught of commercials and sales intended to empty our wallets and fill our hearts and homes with joy - or, barring that, a zillion new toys.
Don’t get us wrong; we love shopping, for ourselves and for others. But how much of what we buy is quickly forgotten - both by givers and by receivers?
Excitations is a site designed to make gift giving fun and memorable for givers and receivers alike by offering a wide variety of “experience” gifts for all ages, interests, and budgets. For example…
- Instead of an electric razor, how about a flight in a World War II-era aircraft?
- Instead of a gold brooch shaped like a Christmas tree, how about a champagne tasting?
- Instead of all those battery-eating toys, how about a trip to junior rodeo school?
Today we want to hear what makes a gift memorable for you. Whether it was good or bad, whether you were a child or an adult, whether you were the giver or the receiver - which gifts have stood out in your mind and why?

2) Make sure to link http://blog.parentbloggers.com in your post.
