One way of ensuring that the gift you choose for that special person is a memorable one is to treat them to a real life experience. The list of possible experiences is never ending, but whether you book a day trip, a vacation, a festival, or a gig, all are things which will be remembered fondly for years down the line, and we personally love using a birthday or anniversary as a good excuse to plan an exciting event.
One the many perks of opting for an experience as a gift for your friend or loved one is that you get to share the experience together, create memories, and bond. Not that you’re buying the gift for your own sake! Depending on who you’re buying for, find something that you have in common and do something that you’ll both love.
While a token gift is always appreciated, I personally always prefer experiences over presents. Knowing that you have travel plans or a gig in a few weeks or months time gives you something to look forward to, and as time passes at work or school, you’ll keep remembering the excitement for your future gift, keeping you cheerful through the year!
Choosing clothing, jewellery, or any other type of gift can be tricky, and personal, but you can’t go wrong with a sunny holiday, or a night out to see your favourite band.
Finally, by choosing to share a special occasion with your partner, friend, or family member then you’ll not only be offering a unique present that will be remembered for years, you’re also showing them that you want to spend time and create memories together.
If you’re looking for inspiration to plan the perfect day activity, why not consider: dance lessons, cooking classes, scuba diving, paragliding, a romantic night at a hotel, or a relaxing day at the spa.
