Best Picks from our Experiences UK Christmas Gift Guide 2024

Christmas may be creeping up but there’s still plenty of time to get the last of your gift shopping done. If you can’t face the busy shops at this time of year, don’t! With our incredible range of experience gift vouchers, you can buy someone a ticket to a once in a lifetime experience, all from the comfort of your own home.

As the countdown nears to the big day arriving, we thought we’d take a moment to share with you some of our most popular experiences that make for the perfect Christmas gift this festive season.

• Soar High with Flying Experience Days

If they are passionate about heights, why not give them a ticket to a journey in the skies? Whether they want to learn how to fly a plane themselves in our popular 30 Minute Flying Lesson, or would rather sit back, relax and enjoy somebody else piloting the plane in our immersive 30 Minute Vintage Biplane Flight where you will fly in the iconic Tiger Moth. Soak up a piece of history as you soar through the skies in a restored vintage plane from a selection of UK airfields.

Provide them a ticket to fly into the new year in style by giving them a flying experience this Christmas. Promised to provide thrilling memories and a once in a lifetime experience, you can’t get much better than one of our flying experiences if you’re looking to surprise someone with a sense of adventure.

• Our Best Animal Experiences

Spending time with some furry friends is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face. Whether you opt to meet some incredible feathered friends with our Birds of Prey Experience for One, where you’ll encounter falcons, eagles, hawks and owls and even have the opportunity to put on the falconer’s glove and handle them or opt for our Forest Lodge Experience where you will get to handle these adorable Ferrets and learn all about them. With a minimum age of 2, this would be an ideal gift for a young animal lover and is easily accessible from Essex and London.

Alternatively you can even Adopt a Big Cat for animal lovers who are keen to play a role in protecting these beautiful, but endangered creatures. You get to choose between the Tiger, Scottish Wildcat, Cheetah’s and Lions and the recipient will get an adoption certificate and a poster of the animal they have adopted. When you buy one of our animal adoption packages, you’re providing support for conservation projects to protect natural habitats, as well as a thoughtful gift for any animal lover.

• Thrilling Outdoor Experiences

We all know a couple who are outdoors obsessed. If you’ve been struggling to find them a conventional gift, maybe you should think about a Quad Biking for Two Experience. They will roam across the muddy countryside together and wind through woodland trails, and steep drops and get seriously muddy! For a fun filled activity for outdoor lovers, this would be the perfect gift this Christmas.

Or, they could take a shot at Live Fire Shooting in our experience running at Nuneaton. Situated in the heart of Warwickshire, you can experience a variety of different guns from modern, world war two to cowboy alongside receiving expert tuition depending on your experience level. Let off some steam and the stress of Christmas at this shooting range as you master different guns and work on your aim.

Alternatively, if they love spending time in the water, our White Water Rafting Experience along the River Tees will provide endless fun as you tackle rapids, multiple descents and winding courses with twists and turns! This centre is home to the biggest artificial drop in the UK which is a must experience if you’ve got a water based adrenaline lover on your hands!

• Indulge in Afternoon Tea Experiences

Or maybe you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas for those who live life on the quieter side. If that’s the case, we have an exciting few ideas for you such as our London Tower Bridge Afternoon River Cruise for Two, where you’ll not only get to soak up the sights but indulge in delicious freshly baked scones and tea. Enjoy the sights from afar, as you both fill up on a decadent Afternoon Tea.

What's more, if it’s perfumes they love then why not treat them to a Perfume and Afternoon Tea Experience? Not only will they get to create their own unique perfume and get to see how the blending process works, but get to unwind with a tasty selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, scones and cakes with tea and coffee.
