With Christmas coming up it's that time of year where we start thinking about what gift we can our loved ones this time round. If you are anything like me this can be painfully difficult! Every time I thought of an idea I realised it is either already owned or not suitable (or out of my price range!). That's when I stumbled across buying an experience day as a gift...
Deciding on what present to buy that someone special can prove to be a very difficult decision to make these days, especially is that someone already has everything money can buy. If just about every gadget, game or type of clothing is owned it certainly leaves us running out of ideas! It never helps when we ask the question 'what would one like' only to receive the worst answer possible 'surprise me!'
If you are looking for original ideas then why not think about buying an experience day activity as a present, also known as a red letter day activity? The beauty of buying a red letter day is that instead of being a physical gift as such it is more of a memorable gift, something they only may ever enjoy once in a lifetime! These types of gifts are definitely going to win some brownie points, especially as you would expect some thought process would have gone into buying them as well.
A red letter day activity can be bought for any occasion, be it birthday, anniversary or just as a congratulation gifts. They can be bought for either male or female, young or old and with such a huge variety available they really do cater for all tastes! You can even buy a red letter day activity that relates to somebodies hobby or interest which just proves to the person you really do know them well (as long as you make the right choice)! For example my girlfriend knows I love cars and dream of owning an Audi R8 (emphasise the word dream) therefore imagine my delight when she gave me the opportunity to hit top speeds whilst performing several laps with a R8 track day gift! I was so excited by the time I had fastened my seatbelt and so high on adrenaline once I’d finished that the instructor had to prise my fingers one by one from the steering wheel! I offered to buy my girlfriend the same in return once at the destination however she was too nervous to take up the opportunity (she is used to a 1.1 litre engine after all), nevertheless to our surprise they offered passenger rides as well which she accepted straight away. Afterwards she exited the car a bit shaky hence I assume she enjoyed it!
Other red letter day activity examples include super relaxing spa and pampering day gifts (maybe I should think about buying this in return!). Mud baths and makeovers are available, even facial treatments for men (this sounds interesting although it is something I would never ask for)!
For those adrenaline junkies out there you can buy skydiving experience days or try out the latest craze known as zorbing (though why anybody would want to roll down hills at top speeds I don't know). One of the most popular red letter day activities over the past few years has been bungee jumping; this seems to still be going strong and is definitely something I would like to try.
Great family days out range from stadium tours to treasure hunting activities. Or if it’s just the two of you looking to get away options include romantic fine dining experiences or even weekends away at some fabulous hotels or country manors.
There really is a huge amount of choice available from flying experiences including aerobatic, helicopter and glide flying to water activities including powerboating, wakeboarding (???) and plain old sailing.
The price ranges are great too; there is something on offer for all budgets. Prices tend to range from as little as £15 up to a few grand. Choose from a day paintballing for £15, a Ferrari driving tack day at Silverstone for £229 or a formula 1 racing experience for £1500.
In summary, if you are looking for a unique or original gift idea for that special someone then I highly recommend treating them to a red letter activity day today; it's guaranteed to win you the all-important brownie points!
