For the Family
Holiday gift-giving can be a challenge, and I have had to start thinking outside the box. As my family has grown and kids have become teenagers, the Christmas lists have become more device-centered, much to my dismay. Zip-Zone Gift Certificates are the perfect present to get the family active and out exploring nature. This state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind adventure will get them off the couch and soaring into the trees. Rope course challenges, daring zip lines, and adrenaline-pumping moments are a gift that goes beyond Christmas morning into the coming year. Giving the gift of an experience rather than things is a way to foster family togetherness, team building, and memories that will last a lifetime. While this gift gets them outside, it is still an opportunity for them to grab their device to take that perfect Instagramable picture of them experiencing the best things in life.
