Giveaway – what experience would you cherish most?

What experience would you choose?

This Christmas I was astounded at how many presents the children received. We were relatively conservative I think, buying them one or two main presents each but when you add in presents from relatives and friends there was a mountain of boxes under the tree. Once 2014 had popped it’s head around the door and the dust had settled on our festivities, the paper was in the recycle bin and the presents tidied away in the playroom, I started thinking about what makes Christmas special. When you’re a child presents are the thing. Writing a list, anticipating the big day, ripping open the gifts and playing with them all day. But if you’re anything like me, once you’re an adult you probably buy yourself the things that you want during the year rather than waiting until Christmas. For me Christmas is about getting together with my family and sharing a special meal, it’s about watching the excitement on the kids faces – it’s about the experience of it all. Material possessions come and go, break and get replaced but experiences live on in our memories. Scuba diving, skiing, learning to ride a motorbike and taking off across the Pyrénées to Barcelona are all experiences that I treasure from my pre-parenthood days.

So when Experience Days offered me the chance to give one of you lovely lot the gift of a £50 voucher to put towards an amazing experience for you, or a loved one, to cherish I jumped at the chance. And guess what – this time the giveaway is open to my UK and US readers – woo hoo!

Extreme thrills or chillaxing at a spa – what would you choose?

Experience Days launched in the UK in 2006 and have a wide selection of activity days to choose from – everything from blissfully relaxing spa days to high-octane extreme experiences. Fancy a zombie survival boot camp? Done. A tour of the Downton Abbey film sets? Done. Learning how to make jewellery? Done. The choice really is up to you. And it’s easy to buy an experience for someone else as a gift…

…just place an order online or by phone and a gift pack is sent out to the lucky person you’re treating (there’s even an email option for those *ahem* last minute gifts *cough*). They have up to ten months to choose their experience and book it. Simples!

You can take a look at the UK experiences here and the US experiences here.
