Which is why we here at Geronigo are waging war against bad presents!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest for a second here \u2013 how many presents are just shoved in a drawer and forgotten about? Chances are, you\u2019ve done exactly that too many times to remember. It works both ways, too. All those gifts you shelled out for? Yep, they\u2019re in drawers.<\/p>\n<p>So, less clutter and more adrenaline! Sound good? Thought so. But that\u2019s easy for us to say. Take this factoid from San Francisco State University, where they recently found that people who spent their money on experiences \u2013 rather than material possessions \u2013 were happier and believed their money had been better spent. So, basically everybody wins with a gift experience!<\/p>\n<p>Want more proof? Here it is. An actual doctor, who goes by the name of Dr Thomas Gilovich of Cornell University found that life experiences and adventures make a more memorable gift because they play a bigger part in the lift of the recipient.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1694\" src=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/shutterstock_519596935-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1363\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/shutterstock_519596935-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/shutterstock_519596935-768x601.jpg 768w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/shutterstock_519596935-384x300.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1363px) 100vw, 1363px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t have to take academics and doctors to work out that turning clays to dust, handling birds of prey or a supercar driving experience are all way more exciting than a pair or socks or a shower gel set!<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re buying a Christmas gift for your mate, a loved one, or a work colleague you don\u2019t really know, Geronigo has something for them!
