Looking for a unique experience gift this holiday season?

You’ve come to the right place!

Choosing the right gift for your loved ones can be tricky at the best of times – but this holiday season it can seem more challenging than ever.

After the year we’ve all had, many of us are looking forward to being more adventurous in 2021 – trying new things, visiting new places, learning something new. That’s why we think the best gift you can give this Christmas is the gift of experience.

The great thing about experience gifts is their versatility – there really is something for everyone. So whether you’re looking for a gift for your best friend, a couple, or even the whole family, here are five awesome experience gifts that are guaranteed to make 2021 look that bit brighter.

1. Flight Lessons

If you have a loved one who dreams of soaring through the skies, why not make their year by surprising them with a flight lesson?

At Xperience Days we have more than 40 thrilling flight lessons, so whether someone wants to pilot a light aircraft or a helicopter, you’re sure to find their ideal experience. During these airborne activities the lucky recipient will learn the basics of aviation from a certified flight instructor – and when they’re confident, it’s time to head to the skies!

During the flight they’ll take the controls themselves… and as they fly, they’ll be able to admire incredible views as the country unfolds beneath them. An unforgettable gift for a thrillseeker!

2. Food tours

We all have that foodie friend – someone whose eyes light up at the mere mention of food. If you’re looking to surprise a friend or family member with a passion for food, why not treat them to a food tour?

At Xperience Days we have over 140 food tours, so no matter where your loved one is based, there’ll be a tour they can join nearby. There’s something for every palate here: take a pizza tour of Boston, browse Cleveland’s bustling food markets, and discover the flavors of Philly. Or, if your loved one is more passionate about drink, why not surprise them qirh a brewery tour or a pub crawl?

Just have a browse through our mouthwatering gastronomic gifts and see which ones tickle your fancy. Aside from being a great gift, this is also a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy together.

3. NASCAR driving experiences

If your loved one is more of a petrol-head, why not gift them an adrenaline-pumping NASCAR ride along driving experience?

Once again, there are so many awesome driving experiences to choose from that the only hard part will be trying to pick one!

There are Stockcar ride alongs, where your lucky recipient can experience an eye-watering passenger thrill ride; there are short track driving experiences, where your friend or family member can get behind the wheel themselves and put their driving skills to the test; and there are even heart-pounding driving experiences for kids!

4. Hot air balloon ride

If you’re trying to buy your favorite couple a super special gift, why not surprise them with a hot air balloon ride?

A hot air balloon ride truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something you’ll never forget – and experiencing this magic with your other half just makes it even more special. There are hot air balloon centers all across the country, so wherever someone’s based, they won’t be far from an incredible aerial adventure.

The balloon will fly high enough to provide mind-blowing views of the surrounding countryside, and low enough to enjoy the thrill of floating just above the trees! A seriously romantic and unique gift.

5. Cooking Classes

Looking for a special gift for a friend who loves to cook – or for a young family member who wants to start their culinary education?

Why not treat your loved one to a cooking class? Whether someone wants to learn Indian cooking in Dallas, bread making in the Bay Area, or Italian cooking in Connecticut, there’s a cuisine and a cooking style to suit every age, ability and taste preference! Alternatively, why not surprise a couple with a date night cooking class?

You could even treat the whole family to a private healthy cooking class – that way, everyone can take turns making dinner in 2021! Or if someone fancies themselves as a budding mixologist, why not treat them to a cocktail class? Have a browse through our cooking classes and see which ones make you hungriest!
