It's tough balancing school, work,
and life. What most adult students need most of all is a break from it all once
in a while. We've got five gift ideas that will get your hard-working student
out of the house.
1.
Museum Membership
Depending on where you live, of
course, a membership to a local museum can be a great gift for the adult
student, especially if the museum is related to the student's field of study.
There are science museums, art museums, museums of natural history, dinosaur museums, museums that preserve specific
cultures.
Consider botanical gardens in this
category, too.
If you haven't been to a museum for
a long time, if ever, take a look around when you go to buy your membership
gift. You'll learn something...guaranteed! Consider it a bonus.
If you travel together, consider a
museum visit on your next trip. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened in
Bentonville, Arkansas on 11/11/11. Now that would make an awesome gift.
2.
Performing Arts Season Tickets
The performing arts include
wonderful events like the ballet, the symphony, opera, theatre, magic,
circus acts, dance of all kinds, music of all kinds. How can you go wrong?
There is something in the performing arts for everybody, and with season
tickets, you can pick and choose. If you decide against a performance, you can
give your tickets to friends and the gift is doubled.
At left is the Moscow Ballet
performing The Great Russian Nutcracker. Attending the
performance has become an annual tradition for many families. You just might be
starting a tradition of your own.
Buy your adult student season
tickets to a local performing arts venue, and you'll be a hero.
3.
Gym Membership
A gym membership isn't nearly as
glamorous as season tickets to the symphony or a museum membership, but it's
definitely a healthier option. Not that the symphony and museum are unhealthy!
The museum, at least, involves a nice long walk. And isn't culture of any kind
healthy.
Nevertheless, there's nothing like a
gym membership to get the juices flowing. How many times have you heard someone
say they've always wanted to take a yoga class.
Buy your adult student a year-long
membership to the local gym, and workouts will provide stress relief in
addition to the expected physical benefits. Winning!
4.
Dinner Date
Dinner out means a lot of different
things, doesn't it? For some it's the local family restaurant. For others,
dinner out means dressing up for an evening of white table cloths, wine, and
your favorite seafood. Don't forget dessert!
You know what it means to the adult
student you love. Ask your student out on a date to the place he or she likes
best, and make a memorable evening, whatever that means to the two of you.
5.
Movie Tickets
The classic date includes a movie
after dinner. If your adult student loves movies, weekly or monthly tickets are
a gift they'll cherish, whether or not dinner is included. Sometimes popcorn is
more fun than dinner!
If you have a favorite theatre, this
gift is a no-brainer. If you don't, think about taking a theatre tour. Buy
tickets at a different theatre every month.
A lot of adults prefer matinees,
which are usually quieter and less packed. They're also a bargain!
