Top 10 Experience Day Gift Ideas

The notmoresocks.com choice:

1. Football Experience Days

Football fans can be so dull can’t they? They go on and on and on and on about goals, being robbed, and generally offending the opposition. We’ll this gift is only going to encourage them. The true fan and the occasional fan will both get a great buzz from seeing behind the scenes where their heroes roam.

We Say “It’s a shame that there are not more clubs available in this gift range nor any for Scottish, Welsh, or Irish teams. But we reckon for the English fan it’s a great and memorable present.”

2. Driving Experience Days

We all drive don’t we? We all think we’re racers don’t we? Send him or her away with this gift and you’ll have a Jensen-Pushing-the-Hamilton-Button on their return. Adrenaline seekers will return demanding a new name: Call me Porsche or call me Evo but don’t call me slow!

We Say “If we had the money we’d buy a Maserati Quattroporte S and have a driving experience every day. But we don’t so we’d go for the Single Seater Experience closely followed by the Ferrari and Rally Car Thrill.”

3. Birds of Prey (Falconry)

When I was a kid I wanted my own Eagle Owl (I still do) as I was knocked out by the size and power of this magnificent bird. This is an experience that puts you close to nature and the real world.

We Say “Put them in harmony with a creature from the wild: Pure Magic.”

5. Aqua Sphereing (aka Zorbing)

This gift idea is perfect for the adventurer in your life? You know the adventurer type, goes off and does something adventurous as long as they can be back in time for Corrie. The recipient/s gets sealed in a 12’ inflatable sphere with thirty litres of water. What could possibly go wrong?

We Say “A bargain way to spin them and then soak them; like putting your favourite jeans in the  washing machine; you’ll be sighing in relief when they come out in one piece. Check the batteries on your HD video camera…”

6. Flying

I’ve never flown in a helicopter. So if you fancy giving me a present I’d be happy with the Helicopter Thrill for £39.99.* Yes a lot of these flying experiences are costly so it might be worth family and friends clubbing together for a loved ones milestone birthday.

We Say “Fly me to the Moon Mr Branson (Chief Virgin) is not yet available but a flight in a Tiger Moth is (for slightly less money) – classic class.”

7. Silverstone Tour

The holy shrine for the F1 petrol head is a wonderful location for a day out full of history and engineering. The big plus of tours like these is seeing views you don’t get on the telly. You even get to stand on the podium.

We Say “Every F1 fan must have this motor racing gift. We love the British Racing Drivers Club Clubhouse; a fun and well priced excursion.”

8. Go Ape! Forest Adventure

I’m not great at heights but I’d love to have a go at this for the sense of achievement. People don’t usually give a present of fear for a birthday do they? This is like giving a safe amount of fear; this is a great piece of back-to-nature-in-a-hard-hat and with lots-of-safety-ropes-kind-of-way.

We Say “This really is a different kind of gift and will give them a whole new view of the forest; ideal for the fearless, nimble chimp in your family.”

9. Indoor Skydiving

Stick them in a tunnel and blow them away. Well, not too far. This is a novel way of giving someone a buzz and the sense that they can fly. I would check with the organisers if they can wear their pants over their trousers before leaving home.

We Say “Fun! Fun! Fun! We’ll say it again: Fun! Fun! Fun!”

10. 4×4 Off Road Experience

Does your loved one have a big 4×4, an off roader sometimes known as a ‘Chelsea-Tractor?’ Has he/she ever seen mud? Have they ever used a tow-rope or been down a 1 in 3 slope at the wheel of a car? Make them put their feet where their mouth is and give them a real driving test.

We Say “Fine if you like mud and diesel. We’ll be in the bar waiting for the anecdotes to come gushing forth.”
