The Anti-Day-After-Thanksgiving Consumerism Idea List

It doesn't have to be lavish. Plan on a nice night out at a fancy restaurant. Or maybe a budget restaurant where you used to go as a family when you were a kid. Make it meaningful.

Again, this doesn't have to be an expensive and complicated getaway. A meaningful place is all that is needed as the seed for the idea. If you wanted to go big, you and your siblings could create an expense sharing account on an app like "Cheddar Up" and budget a weekly or monthly deposit to create a dream trip for your parents and the entire family.

A quick day trip to your local haunts or a multi-day adventure with no set schedule would be a blast with the right person.

For the car lover in your life, think about a race track day. There are exotic supercars available for the thrill of a lifetime. For someone who likes the relaxation, a day at the spa is always a great idea. There are so many ways you can personalize an experience for someone you know and love.

If exercise is your thing, grant the gift of a local hike with your undivided attention. Leave the phones off.

These have become increasingly rare. Get some photos off your phone and into an album. Make it meaningful to you and the recipient.

Plan a dinner and invite friends and family, make a special dessert for that special someone, have a movie night with assorted gourmet popcorn.

Take a day and watch all of the movies in the franchise. Star Wars, James Bond, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, The Godfather, etc.

Jack-a-lopes and singing bass come to mind.

Our time and attention has become increasingly valuable. Schedule something regularly with the person/people you love.
