An Experience (or other non-material gift)

$100+

About 15 years ago, my mother requested that we exchange experiences, rather than gifts. My gift to her was the NYC premier, at BAM, of Nixon in China. Though a lover of classical opera, she had no experience of the contemporary variant. She said nothing until, as we were leaving, she reach up and squeezed my arm, and sang out, "New experience. New experiences!! That is what life must be about!!!" She died several years after, but when I remember her, that's what I remember most happily: her face shining, and her voice carolling, "NEW EXPERIENCES!"
