In a world where “I want it, I buy it” seems to be the mantra of more than just the rich, buying the ideal gift for any occasion can bring unwanted stress to the generations.

Sheri Bridges, Associate Professor of Marketing at Wake Forest University, joins Keeping Up with Gen Y to discuss how Gen Y can make memory-based gifts through shared activities and experiences that show family and friends how important they are to them. She also provides tips for older generations on gift ideas that Gen Y will appreciate and value for years to come.
