St. Louis Experiences That Make Perfect Gifts

Don’t give someone a gift card just because you can’t think of anything else to get it. But consider gift cards for special experiences, especially ones you could enjoy with them. Here are some of our favorite ideas. We’ve listed a few details to get you started, but feel free to find your own places.

Offer a subscription: There is no better year to offer information. We recommend a subscription to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch with full access to STLtoday. To offer a gift subscription, visit STLtoday.com/gift.

Memberships and subscriptions: A season or year-long membership to one of the region’s cultural attractions provides multiple opportunities to share the fun. Most venues offer gift packages that vary depending on the number of performances or type of membership selected, depending on one’s budget. Call or visit websites for details on different subscription rates.
