Gift a Life Well Lived

During the pandemic, I took the unexpected free time to purge my closets of stuff. It took many days. 

When I returned to shopping in thrift stores, which I love to do, I realized that each item, however affordable, had an added cost of time. 

I would need to find a place for this thing in my home and then tend to dusting it, or replacing it’s batteries, or fixing it if it broke or getting rid it when I was done with it’s use. 

I bought less… for a spell. I admit I still love stuff and definitely bought physical presents for people this year. But there’s something magical about gifts of experiences. 

When I was in the 5th grade, I became mysteriously sick for 6 weeks. When I was well again, my 4th grade teacher Miss Britting gave me two tickets to the movies. I felt seen. 

This month, a friend took her teenage son to a unique Beatles music concert with circus acts called the White Album Show. They now have a memory shared.

One of my friends gifted me a massage, which I am so excited to use in the New Year. She wants to book one at the same time so we can have a day out together. Heck yeah. 

I recently used my passes to a sensory deprivation tank at Float On for a friend so I could show him something he has never done. He loved it. 

Whether it’s a spa day or music lessons or parasailing or tarot reading lessons, consider what your friends have been saying that they wish they could try and do someday. 

If it’s expensive, see if you can pool money with community to make a collective fund for their dream experience to happen. 

Help your loved ones explore the enlivening magic of tarot when you get a gift certificate for your loved ones. Use coupon code GIVETAROT through the end of the year for 10% off any of these. 

The added benefit is you get an email immediately to pass along, so no need to leave the house or wait on a package. These sessions can be used online to share with people from afar.

Multiple options can be gifted to two people who come in together. 

A tarot reading lesson is the same cost for one or two people, since it’s more fun to learn with friends. 

Include yourself or treat two people to a bonding experience with a Tarot Together gift certificate.

Let your friend choose if they would prefer a personal tarot reading or an intuition coaching session for the same cost to you.

Ring in the New Year with a look into the year ahead. Create real experience for the whole party when you hire a tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers. These sessions can also be online to bring together a group across the country for an online party.

I hope you have the experience this week of a wonderful holiday season and a blessed Yule.

Happy Solstice,
