Have you heard of LifeExperiences.ca? It's a website where you can choose from a variety of gift ideas such as Scandinavian spa treatments or driving an Indy-style Formula 101 race car. Instead of giving knick-knacks or items that may end up lost forever in storage, you can give the gift of an unforgettable experience. Because really, how many coffee mugs do we need?

Whether you use the LifeExperiences.ca Gift Matcher or browse randomly in a daydream like I do, I'm pretty sure you'll find the perfect experience for that special person on your list. You can narrow your search by selecting a price range, a particular type of experience, a specific region in Canada or a special occasion. For example, are you scratching your head looking for a gift idea for Father's Day? Surprise him with a Flying Club flight lesson or a Stunt Driving experience. At the very least, you can always purchase a LifeExperiences.ca gift card at Walmart and other participating retailers and let dad create his own experience! 

This Father's Day, I will be treating my husband to a Craft Brewery Tour courtesy of LifeExperiences.ca. We will be touring three craft breweries in the Toronto-area and learning all about the brewing process while sampling their fine beers. Full disclosure: I do not love beer. I can tolerate it, you could say. But I'm willing to make this sacrifice for my husband because he's a definite connoisseur with a palate for handcrafted ale and deserves a special night out on the town. Plus, it will be an intimate tour of up to only ten guests and will include return transportation from the Royal York Hotel. 

What would be your ideal life experience?
