"Possessions only tend to stick around for short periods of time. Experiences stay with you forever."

Absolutely.

My parents bought me lots of presents for birthdays and Christmas.

When I was about 12 they took me to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I played that sucker hard that day.

I don't remember any of the presents. I still remember that day. I'm over 50.

Think about that, when you want to do something for your kids, or your spouse. Or yourself.
