In a world dominated by possessions, experience gifts emerge as meaningful, personal, and unforgettable alternatives. Rather than wrapping an item, you’re giving a moment that fosters memories and stories that last a lifetime.
With modernization, everything is changing in how we receive or give gifts. With changing times, couples like experience giving more than transactional ones. Wedding registries are being transformed by couples who prefer giving and receiving memorable experiences instead of the usual household products or material goods.
Spur Experiences help you easily book thoughtful gifts—like romantic date nights and exciting honeymoon activities. It offers 4000+ experiences for everyone's special requirements. This guide shows you how to register for remarkable experiences and create a registry that genuinely represents your relationship. But before that, understand what experience gifts are.
Experience gifts are presents that offer an activity or moment rather than a physical item. These could range from a relaxing spa day or fine dining experience to adventure sports, travel getaways, or creative workshops.
Different from classic gifts, experiences focus on how they feel, not what they look like.
Research shows that happiness grows when we share experiences with loved ones. By registering experience gifts, you invite friends and family to help you enjoy more happiness and joint experiences as a married couple.
Experience gifts are memory-gifting rather than clutter-gifting, relationship-building because you can enjoy time with someone, flexible because you use your vouchers without them going to waste, personalized based on your interests, and always appealing to your guests because people love giving gifts that bring happiness. Experience registries differ from traditional ones, where you may have duplicate gifts or unmatched items. Experience registries are designed so that every gift serves a purpose in your married life.

Spur separates the overall cost into 10 units.
Visitors can select the number of units to purchase (1-10).
With every single contribution, money is deposited in your e-wallet.
If an experience is not 100 percent funded, the experience will either receive units or the funds will be spent in another way.
Affordable giving with this system keeps enabling you to book helicopter flights, multi-day adventure tours, or high-end spa packages to see the world around you.
