Exciting experiences to restful days out. They are all here.
When you think of experience days you may think of rally driving, zorbing or a pamper day. Those things are all offered by several of the companies listed here, but there are even more novel ideas here too. How about shark diving, body flying, making your own pop video or a balloon flight over the tombs of the pharos in Egypt?
Red Letter Days and Virgin both offer the more traditional range of flying, driving, pampering and action experiences but in different parts of the country. By and large, Firebox double up some of the options offered by these two but are generally less price-competitive, although it is still worth having a look in case the locations are better for you.
Activity Gifts and Do Something Different have a better variety, including some more exotic choices and plenty of things to do abroad. For experiences in the UK, Buyagift probably have the best range of all, including meals out, London attractions, hotel breaks and tickets to the zoo as well as the flying, driving and pampering breaks offered by most.
Lastminute.com link up with various providers of experiences to offer a fair selection of the more traditional choices with some decent discounts and a fair range of lower cost experiences. For last minute bargains, also have a look at Red Letter Days specials.
If you can't choose - or dare not choose - most of the companies sell vouchers too, so the choosing can be left until later. Alternatively, with Smartbox you buy a voucher and a guide from which the recipient chooses their own experience. Much less risky! Or if you think you know, but are not quite sure, Treatme will give money back within 10 days of purchase or a no-cost exchange within 30 days of purchase, as long as the experience has not already been booked.
