Spreading Love And Happiness One Experience At A Time

Originally published in Loveland & South Lifestyle

We’ve compiled a gift giving guide that emphasizes events and activities that focus on time instead of gadgets. We recognize that our community values family, friends, and good times. So many of us are lucky enough to have everything we need (or more stuff than we need) – so let’s focus on time, the most precious thing we have. We can’t simply go out and buy more of it, which is why the gift of time is a great way to show someone that you care.

That perfect gift could be an experience, an adventure in health and wellness, or a relaxing activity that reduces the stressors in life. Most importantly, we recommend focusing on the gifts that give perspective and etch memories that will never be forgotten. You might not know, but your gift of love and happiness in the present moment to any person can be with them for a long time in the future. So, always remember to spend good and joyful moments with others.

Museum Membership

A Loveland Museum membership is a great way to spend  time with the whole family. The museum is so much more than a home for exhibits – it is a place to learn, relax, explore, and socialize. Each exhibit, large or small, comes with the opportunity to dive deeper into the subject matter and put the exhibit into a broader context. From receptions with local collectors to formal lectures with historical experts, the programs are created to inspire museum goers of every age. www.thelovelandmuseum.org

Spa Services at The Tranquil Spa

The Tranquil Spa therapists are professionally trained to perform full-service and personalized massages of many modalities, including medical massage, tailored to each individual client. Body treatments, skin care services, and so much more can be gifted as well. www.thetranquilspa.com
