If there's a survey out somewhere, you can believe I'll find it and share it----like this one on what Americans say they want for Christmas.
E-X-P-E-R-I-E-N-C-E! Yes, according to a report released by IfOnly, an overwhelming 81 percent of respondents said they preferred an "experience" over any other type of gift.
Okay, so the next question is, what kind of experience?
39 percent said go on a helicopter tour
32 percent said go on a private tour of a museum
27 percent said pet a panda at the zoo
But get this: 36 percent of those who took the survey said they would rather spend the holiday with a wild animal than with their in-laws.
75 percent of Millennials said they would do anything in exchange for an incredible experience while nearly half of those surveyed said they would give up an hour of sleep for the entire holiday season to have an incredible experience instead of receiving a gift certificate.
And for those of you who have been complaining about lack of intimacy in the bedroom with your significant other......47 percent said they would be more likely to have sex if they received an experience instead of a material gift. So I guess my question here is: "Would that experience include whips, chains and handcuffs?" LOL!
This survey was conducted by Kelton Global on behalf of IfOnly, which refers to itself as the "marketplace for unique experiences...aims to deepen human connection by creating life-changing memories."
