Give an unusual experience gift this Christmas!

I don’t know about you, but year after year I really struggle to come up with new and imaginative gift ideas for family and friends. For me, it always takes the fun out of buying Christmas presents. This is why I think an experience gift is a great idea when you are well and truly stuck.

In this article, we are going to a look at three clever experience gift ideas to get your mind running with ideas as to how you can make this Christmas a little more exciting for that special someone. Read on…!

Escape Rooms in London and Brighton

Escape rooms are more popular now than they have ever been and they make a fantastic Christmas gift!

Handmade Mysteries have an incredible selection of escape rooms in London and Brighton that anyone and everyone can and will enjoy.  The perfect gift idea for any friends that live nearby but even if you aren’t local, why not make it part of a day out or even a weekend away?

They have two escape rooms across four venues Lady Chastity’s Reserve and Poppa Plock’s Wonky Workshop.  Both are lovingly crafted and have ‘wonderfully strange and otherworldly hosts’ The storylines are guaranteed to take you to another world in which you will get carried away. If this doesn’t sound good enough, all of the escape rooms are hidden away in the depths of historical pubs, so there is food and drink to be enjoyed at the end of your experience.

What makes this such a great gift is that it is something that can be shared with others too. The games can be played in teams of two or more (for people 18 years and older). All of the games are for up to 6 players and last 60-minutes. Extra-large groups can be split into teams and so you can then compete against each other for the fastest time. The race is on! Better yet, this is a great option for a last-minute gift, because you can buy their escape room Christmas gift vouchers online!

Bungee Jumping

Do you have that one friend or relative that has always wanted to do a bungee jump but never had the opportunity? Now is your chance to make all of their crazy, wildest dreams come true!

Bungee Jumps are thrilling, electrifying and utterly unforgettable! It would be difficult to forget throwing yourself off a 160ft platform with just an elastic band around your ankles, after all! It’s certainly an experience that will leave you feeling nothing but exhilarated.

The minimum age for bungee jumping is 14 and there are locations all over the UK. It goes without saying that you need to be in good health to take part in a bungee jump. If you are gifting this experience to someone over 50 years they will need to seek medical advice prior to their event to ensure there is no medical reason for them not to participate.

This is the perfect gift for your thrillseeking friend or family member!

Zombie Survival Experience

Well if you’ve watched Shaun of the Dead one too many times and wondered how you would cope should you find yourself amid a zombie apocalypse then look no further.

Zombie survival experiences are available at locations throughout the UK and are perfect for a good team day out. Your post-apocalyptic zombie experience will begin with some drinks and snacks while you are introduced to the game and your new, terrifying world. All participants will receive a full brief on what you need to do to win against the undead. Then you will be fully kitted out with all the zombie annihilating equipment you could only ever dream of, including a Benelli Super 90 shotgun with all ammo, a vest and jumpsuit, eye protection, and a torch.

If you have that one friend who is Zombie obsessed — you could well make their Christmas with this unique experience gift. The question is — will you go with them?

I hope that this has given you an idea of all of the unusual experience gifts and experience days out there are available. You can be sure that any of these will put smiles on the faces of your nearest and dearests. What better than a gift that can be enjoyed after the Christmas festivities are over? Just bear in mind you’ll have to better it next year!
