Immortal presents

What is it?
If you give someone a present, you wouldn't want it to disappear after a short while, right? Unfortunately any material object will decay with time. If you would like to make your present immortal, the way to go is to give experiences, not objects. Just think about activities that the person enjoys, or even better - that you both enjoy. Give such an experience. This could be a massage, a dinner, a bike-tour, an evening of playing cards,.....

How does it relate to ecology/sustainability?
On the one hand it saves the resources that would go into producing the object you would have given as a present. (the object itself plus its ecological backpack) On the other hand it reminds you of what is important in life and what is not. We tend to be too materialistic these days.

Where can I get more information?/Where can I get it?
Do you need any more ideas/suggestions? Then just do a brainstorming: Take a sheet of paper and write down 100 things that people enjoy doing. Among those things you will surely find some good ideas for your immortal present.
