A KindleUnlimited Plan

Concert tickets

Best experiential gift

Snag some tickets to see a band they love and then think up a little riddle so they have to guess who you're going to see. If clever wordplay isn't your thing, then lead them on a treasure hunt throughout the house with various song titles as clues until they discover the tickets in the final spot. Sometimes the best gifts come down to how you wrap them.
