Holiday shopping officially starts this Friday and the wish lists for Star Wars toys, hoverboards and the newest Burberry scarves are growing long. The pressure’s on! But once the wrapping’s in the recycling bin and the thank you notes have been written, you might find the gifts you and your loved ones remember the longest are those of time together – the gifts of experience.
Occasionally we read articles about a few brave folks who eschew all material holiday gifts for experiences. That’s pretty ambitious. Probably more realistic is giving unique experiences to significant others, adult relatives, co-workers, best friends. Larchmont Sanctuary Spa and Vernetti restaurant, in fact, have partnered with this gift-giving spirit in mind!
Supporting two family-owned, local businesses in Larchmont is a great way to shop for the holidays. Create an unforgettable experience that helps your loved ones de-stress, relax and unwind over a delicious meal.
