Give the Gift of QUALITY TIME with Get Out Pass Sacramento!
**Sponsored post. Please note that while we were gifted the following passes I am sharing about, the excitement is REAL! Thank you for reading and supporting my dream and don’t forget your PRINTABLE at the end of this post!**
For years we’ve been doing Christmas all wrong. Thats right, I said it. We FLOODED the tree, the floor, heck any open space around us with gifts – mostly for Ari but still. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.
That notion that we had to get her everything that I desired (because let’s be real here, it wasn’t her, it was me) for her in the last 12 months came to a screeching halt almost two years ago when on Christmas morning, she got about half way through opening her presents and got upset because she was OVER IT and still had a pile left. Like, legit said something along the lines of “I’m not doing this anymore, I’ll be back later”. Sure, she probably could’ve used a nap too, but the reality of this moment was a big deal to me and I will carry it with me forever.
Last year, we tried the ever so popular 4 gift plan – only we added a 5th. Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read, and something to share with those in need. Our something to share was picked by Ari, to donate to a child we selected from the giving tree at my then job. And I’m happy to report it was SO MUCH BETTER!!! We got through gifts more quickly and the clutter was lessened, but more importantly it felt like the gifts were more meaningful and focused and truly what things both babies appreciated or needed.
This year, however, we are taking it a step further and gifting Ari with Get Out Pass Sacramento!! ($74.99 THROUGH FRIDAY, 12/20/19 WITH CODE “HOLIDAY”)
If you haven’t heard of Get Out Pass, think of it as one of those passes you may have tried when visiting a tourist area like New York City or Southern California. It is specific to an identified area and is offered in Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Tennessee, and Washington D.C., but most recently, in Sacramento!
When a Get Out Pass is redeemed, you have instant access to a yearlong “season pass” of fun. From larger attractions like Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Seaquest, to Sacramento treasures like the Sacramento Children’s Museum and Capital Floats, there is something for anyone and everyone! Some attractions include one pass annually and others have either quarterly or even weekly admissions!
Stop talking about giving the people you love most your presence as a present and actually DO IT!! Get out there and spend some quality time together! Stop cluttering your home with crap that may never get use and gift a loved one a Get Out Pass so that you can spend time and adventure together all year long!
And I’ve made it even easier for you!!! I’ve created a downloadable, printable year of adventure booklet to put together and give with your Get Out Pass, for those of you who feel you need something tangible to gift (I’m that person too).
Each booklet is complete with a cover, 12 pages of calendars and a sheet of all of the venues included. You can even get specific and set a date for each date, or some back and circle the date when you’ve completed it!
I hope I’ve encouraged you all to dig a little deeper this Christmas, and in all of your gift giving if I’m being honest. We could benefit from a little more quality time and a little less “stuff”.
Merry Christmahanakwanzika everyone! I wish you all good eats, relaxation and all of the love.
