Gifting season starts early: experience gifts triple this month
Experience gifts overtake traditional gifts for the first time, with chocolate-making and one-day trips leading the way.
The platform recorded a striking rise this month in experiences given as gifts compared with physical gifts: the number of gifts sent as an experience has tripled since the start of the quarter.
The chocolate-making experience in Abha and the one-day trip to Al-Ahsa topped the list of most-chosen gifts, followed by quality-of-life plan sessions.
The platform team says givers are now looking for “a memory to live” more than “an object to keep”, and that letting recipients choose the date themselves has encouraged many to give experiences without worrying about timing.
