Experiences
Instead of things, why not give the gift of experiences? One thing 2020 has taught us is that quality time with our friends and family is one of the most important gifts of all. There are so many fun and relaxing experiences to enjoy across PEI. And hey, maybe the person you give the experience too, will take you along for the fun!
