Real talk: The best gifts are ones that create a core memory—something that enriches the person's life and helps you both connect on a deeper level. Or, at the very least, inspire a new inside joke. That's why experience gifts are my fave way of showing your giftee you care. And although the idea of celebrating every occasion—whether that be the birthday, a housewarming or an anniversary—with an experience gift may not sound like the most budget-friendly endeavor, fear not.

There are plenty of immersive options out there for all age ranges, price points and preferences, from popular online subscriptions for your parents or grandparents like MasterClass ($120)—a hub of thousands of classes for all skill levels taught by renowned professionals in their craft—and Rosetta Stone ($239; $141 for the year) for the one who’s set on being conversational in Spanish to kick off the new year. Or you can gift full-on adventures with Tinggly or Getaway House to the friend or sibling with a serious case of wanderlust (picture: camel riding in the red dunes of Dubai, walking tours of New York City or unplugged weekend stays in a cozy oasis).

To curate my list of the best experience gifts, I vetted hundreds of selections, considered customer reviews and sought out editor-approved favorites. Whether it be influential online classes or delicious monthly subscriptions, I made sure to include a range of hobbies, adult geared activities, services and adventures. I also considered many factors, from practical needs to entertainment, that provide diverse picks for any age, gender and personal preference.

Without further ado, here are 47 of my favorite experience gifts you can give to anyone on your list (even at the last-minute), from your brother-in-law to your grandpa to your kiddos.
