A Day to Remember: Giving the Gift of Experience

When it comes to special occasions, it can be difficult to purchase a unique and interesting present for your loved ones. Children and teens are usually easy to buy for: they don’t have their own disposable income, so there are bound to be plenty of things that they’ve had their eye on for a while. Independent adults, however, can go out and buy what they like, so have most of the items that they desire. So what to get them for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays? Well, the gift of experience of course! Create lasting memories together by taking them out for a wonderful day or evening of events. Here are a few ideas.


Live Music 

If a friend or a family member has a special day coming up and you see that their favorite artist or band are playing locally around the time, buy tickets in advance. You can put them aside until the special day and then take them as a surprise. A night of live music will be great fun for both of you. If you want to go all out, consider purchasing festival tickets. You will both get to let your hair down for a long weekend of music, fun, and camping. 
Extreme Sport 

You could use this opportunity to plunge your pal into an experience that they wouldn’t usually consider. Open their eyes to something entirely new and get their adrenaline pumping with a day of extreme sport or a single extreme experience. There are plenty of choices out there. Consider skydiving from a plane, a bungee jump, white water rafting or air tunnels (a form of indoor skydiving). 
Spa Days 

If you find that jumping from a plane could be your loved one’s worst nightmare, perhaps opt for a more relaxing alternative. Spa days might suit them better. Opt for treatments such as massage, manicures and pedicures or facials. Some packages come with the option of a luxurious glass of champagne, lunch or afternoon tea too! If the receiver is your partner, you could splash out with a spa retreat for a few days. You will leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. 
Food and Drink 

Food and drink experiences tick all of the boxes for foodies. Consider activities like wine tasting, cheese tasting or perhaps just a fancy three course slap up meal. Dining out in a new location can open your palate up to endless delicious options that you and your friend may never have tried before. You can have a good chat and catch up at the same time, which will leave you both feeling more than satisfied with the service, food, and company. 

Things to Remember 

Make sure that the person receiving the gift is definitely prepared (or has time to prepare) for the experience. If they need to take time off work, remember to give them warning in advance. If they will need to pack, you need to give them time to do this too. Nobody wants to feel rushed or pressured into getting ready for an event with too little time.
