Why Would I Select Gift Experience Days, In Particular At The Festive Time?

We are living in a materialistic world, that few can deny. And when it comes to giving gifts, the same can be said of that too. But in this posting we'll examine the possibility of gift experience days as a replacement to the usual 'physical' gifts.

There is a certain amount of 'keeping up with the Jones' to gift buying; the person who receives the present can frequently show off the gift to others, thus impressing them. This might be a watch, or a new mobile phone, a jumper - or some other item, but they can all be used to show off to friends and relatives. This is natural in a modern society, but the same old kinds of gifts can sometimes get a little tiring, a little boring. But gift experience days can present a solution to this conundrum in addition to bring people some zest for life.

A few examples of gift experience activity days;

There are a huge range of gift experience days available nowadays. They offer quite a few adrenaline sports to quiet and relaxing days out. For instance, if you're buying for a person who like an adrenaline surge, then you may want to let them have an experience such diving with sharks.

If you are planning to choose gift experience days like this, then you need to ensure that the person you're buying for may be the sort of person who likes these types of experiences. If they get the gift and after that intimate potentially they are terrified of sharks, then it may be a very expensive unwanted gift indeed.

You might also choose something like a day driving a high powered sports car. There is a range of these, including drag racing, Nascars and sports cars with names like Lamborghini and Ferrari. The potential of choosing one of these cars is one that many people - especially men - cannot ignore. Most people don't get the chance to try such an automobile in their lifetime mainly because of the cost, but gift experience days offer a way to provide this experience as the one-off.

For those who prefer a far more relaxed experience, you can get quite a few experiences that can be ideal. From cake making, to a day in a spa, these kind of gifts allow someone special in your life to really relax and do something that they would not ordinarily do.

It is true to say that gift experience days provide a good alternative to traditional gifts, and offer a good range of preference too.

If you are looking at someone an experience or activity day as a Christmas gift or a personal gift, the question to ask yourself is do you really understand how the experience day market works and what you're really doing?

The first thing to understand is that you will almost certainly be buying from an experience day merchant and it's usually a different company to the experience day provider. The providers are normally smaller, specialist companies that operate in one or a few locations, for example a racing track management company, an inside skydiving centre, a spa or spa chain, or a helicopter flight company. Probably your immediate thought is that you simply might be better off going direct with the provider but actually this is not such wise.

Firstly, experiences bought direct through a provider will usually be a similar price to individuals bought from an experience day merchant. This is because the merchant benefits from volume purchasing as well as economies of scale in sales and marketing, customer service and even the cost of insuring the people doing the experience. Secondly, if you were to book an experience with the provider but the provider goes out of business, or the person you're buying for wishes to do a different experience to the one you selected, then they are going to be stuck.

Buying from a merchant means you aren't tied to just one provider and there is scope to move to a completely different type of experience day, either for free or for a modest administrative fee. The truth is when you book a specific experience day, the voucher that comes through is oftentimes valid for any one of a series of different experiences days just like the one you wanted, although this relies on the merchant you book with.

Just what do you get whenever you buy an experience day to provide a gift? The physical thing that arrives at the delivery address is largely a voucher. Generally this will be nicely packaged as a gift item and includes some literature on the experience day that has been booked, or the choice of experiences the voucher is designed for. Sometimes these vouchers have something extra - for example I was once given a dancing experience as a gift and, apart from the voucher which entitled me to a series of lessons along at the club of my choice, this was included with a book and video so I could easily get some practice in at home.

I really hope that you found this article to your benefit deciding on the right company for your experience day gift.
