What may seem like a basic gift can instantly become a meaningful gift they will love by tying it into a past or future experience – for example the following items you can find at The Mall at Millenia:

- Kiehl’s – The Ultimate Man Refueling Set – $58 and pair it with a spa certificate or a couple’s spa certificate for a future visit – gift set is a preview of things to come. (Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash / Close Shavers Squadron / Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment For Men / Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap / Ultimate Strength Hand Salve) (Great Gift for Men/Significant Other/Dad)
- Brookstone (They have many gifts under $35) SAND and SAND box – each $19.99 – (won’t make a mess and never dries out) for the person in your life who has a stressful job, I’d pair this with a note saying “Thank you for working so hard this year, I really appreciate all you do. Here is a little piece of the beach for you to escape to and remember the amazing trip we took in Hawaii” tying it back to a happy and meaningful past experience. (Great Gift for Someone You love/ Significant Other/Sister/Friend)

- Tumi – Mobile Power Pack – $145 – For the travelers in our lives this is a lifesaver and charges our mobile devices when we need an extra boost – I’d pair this one with a certificate for an upcoming trip together as a future experience to look forward to or even just a sweet note, I miss you so much when you are traveling so now I’ll never have to miss a call or email from you. (Great Gift for Men/Women/Young Adults)
- Pottery Barn Kids – Vintage Train Set – $59.00 – Beautiful vintage set but you can take the cars to Things Remembered and have engraved plates made with the names of the family members that adhere to the train cars to make it more personal and make it an heirloom keepsake. (Great Kids Gift)
- Sony – Bluetooth – $129.99 Family Gift – stream music wirelessly and pair it with an iTunes Gift Card for each person and create a family play list where every member gets to choose their favorite songs to add to the family play list. It’s a new tradition and experience you can create for each year!
