I mostly agree, but sometimes the THING (and the act of acquisition) is the experience. Example: I really like coffee table books. Reading them is enjoyable but finding them, seeing them and just owning them also makes me happy.

I also think you should go farther than just the experience component and pair it with physical objects that keep the memories alive, vibrant and reliveable.
