The Best Present Is A Story

Basically, it showcased a commercial from a company called Red Ballon that allows you to give awesome experiences as presents. Fly in a fighter jet. Drive a race car. Get a makeover and a modeling photo shoot. Go to spy school. These are the types of things that you can give people.
And it got me thinking. The best presents that you can get someone is an awesome story. A diamond or jewellery will always look nice. But it’s a cop out. You can directly peg how much your love is worth. It’s on the price tag. It’s got a resale value. But an experience can be different. What you are really giving them is a story. A story that can grow and be embellished and be told to hundreds of people over decades.
So remember, if you’re giving something this holiday season, make sure that it’s got a story attached.

whats my pressie then? how do you make a massive choco-nutty cookie a story?!?
It could be the best cookie that you’ve ever eaten. So good that it could start wars. It would be the epic novel of cookies. You would tell your friends about it from now until the end of time.
