The Star of the Show:

Designing Spaces Correspondent Andi Tilis talks with Michelle Aguilar from Smartbox™ Experience and discovers how the best gift may not be “something” you give, but the “experience of a life time” you give. How do you give the “experience of a life time”? With the Smartbox™, you give an experience, from a dinner at a fine restaurant to a mini vacation. Michelle explains and gives examples of the different types of experiences: such as charming getaways to boutique hotels or bed and breakfasts, a pampering visit to a spa, adventurous activities like horseback riding or mountain hiking, even thrill types of fun like sky diving. Michelle sums up the Smartbox™ with “Get it! Give it! Live it!”
