Sometimes it can be hard to think of a new gift idea that your loved one has never received before. Maybe it’s for your brother, who’s put up with years of last minute sock packs or dodgy aftershaves on his birthday – or perhaps you want something special for your Dad who’s been acting as an unpaid taxi service for as long as you can remember, and rarely gets anything more than a bottle of wine for his pains! Maybe it’s for a boyfriend who deserves something a little extra… either way, you now have the opportunity to really get in their good books and impress them with a once in a lifetime experience!

Experience days are a relatively new phenomenon in the world of gift buying, but they are already taking the market by storm! For the first time, gift buyers have the chance to treat their loved ones to incredible days out, sporting events, makeovers, pamper days, adrenaline experiences and all kinds of incredible activities that will make their dreams come true. The premise is simple – you buy a voucher or pack which contains all the details about the experience you’ve chosen for your lucky recipient, and they can customise it according to their schedule, by picking a date and a second person to accompany them (a good moment for a pointed cough…) The events really do create lasting memories, which make them so much more valuable than ‘things’ which aren’t always suitable when gifted and so often end up on Ebay or going dusty on a shelf somewhere!

Driving experience days
For men, many of them share a common dream – to drive a high performance sports car, ideally around a world famous driving track such as Brands Hatch… well happily this is now possible with one of the many incredible driving experience days on offer! These driving experience days take place at various driving courses, and can be enjoyed in a range of cars – for example a Ferrari or Lotus Elise depending on what your loved one’s fantasy car is!

The driving experience days don’t just have to be for high speed adrenaline junkies either- for those who like their cars classic, beautiful and more refined, there are great driving experience days like the Gourmet Classic Car day for two, which is where your loved one (and ideally your good self) spend a day cruising around in an Alfa Spider – one of the most iconic and classic cars – or a more flashy Jensen Interceptor! Perfect for a romantic day out, this experience would only be improved by lunch at a classy little restaurant somewhere – ideally where lots of people can admire your wheels!

High adrenaline action!
For real high adrenaline – and perhaps a good gift for those boy racers – the Skid Control gift pack at Silverstone really is the ultimate in high adrenaline! Driving experience days like this are not for the fainthearted, so you’ll need to be in good health and fall within the height, weight and fitness restrictions of the day (all details available when you purchase the pack.) As the name suggests, this day is all about skidding, screeching and sliding about the track at Silverstone in a sports car – but with the practical edge of learning how to manage skids and drive safely out of one – giving you a real sense of confidence and satisfaction in having advanced driving skills. This day is a double bonus really – firstly you get the fun and rush of skidding about safely on a track – and then you learn what to do if it were ever to happen in reality on the roads! The day itself will last about 2 hours and you’ll have half an hour behind the wheel. Spectators can watch, so bring friends and family with a camera to capture the event! This will certainly leave you with memories to treasure and some great stories to tell!

These are just two examples of the driving experi ence days and there are other which include rally driving, Harley Davidson lessons and runs and even stock car racing, all at venues across the country and at times and dates to suit the recipient. Regardless of what you choose, they will likely be highly impressed with the thought and care that you’ve put into selecting their gift, and the fact that you know them so well as to pick an experience they’ll treasure forever. It’s definitely gifts like the driving experience days which remind us why we give presents in the first place – not out of obligation, but to make our loved ones smile, and show them just how much they mean to us!
