Cloud 9 Living - Experience Gifts - Don't Mess with Mama

I am SO excited. I’ve been invited by Cloud 9 Living to go ziplining – one of the many experience gifts they offer. Ziplining has been on my bucket list for a long time, so I’m thrilled I have the chance to finally do it. I’ll be writing about my experience later this month.

I love this concept of choosing an experience gift. For years, I’ve told my husband that I’m not a diamonds and Gucci bag kind of girl. I don’t want more things – I want experiences. I’ve always loved trying new things and traveling. Luckily, he caught on early that I do love going to the spa, but now I can just send him a few options from Cloud 9 Living and have so much more to choose from. And so many more of my friends and others I know prefer experiences over material gifts. Perfect for men (what dad wouldn’t want to go on bi-plane ride), women, and families.

Cloud 9 Living offers more than 1,700 experience gifts, such as hot air balloon rides, skydiving, stock car racing, riding in a bi-plane, snowmobiling, city tours, spa packages, golfing and so much more, throughout the US. I was getting excited just perusing the website for experience gifts because they had a whole section for the things I love the most: action and adventure. I was like a kid in a candy store. Maybe I’ll start with ziplining and work my way up to skydiving.

It’s easy to book an experience online. And even easier to give an experience – just choose one of the 1,700 experience or give a gift certificate. Give the gift via a custom gift pack or email certificate. The recipient can then visit Cloud9Living.com and chooses the date and time that is convenient to go o the experience.

Cloud 9 Living has been featured on the TODAY show, CNBC, USA Today, The Nate Berkus Show and more. Plus, the staff tests out an experience every quarter on a company outing so they know first hand what they’re recommending. Cloud 9 Living, can I come work for you?
