Experience gifts are so much more than your everyday, run-of-the-mill tangible gifts. They provide us with the opportunity to give our loved ones the gift of unforgettable memories instead of material objects. Sure, you could just print out your experience voucher and give it to your recipient in a greeting card, but what’s the fun in that? An extraordinary gift like this deserves to be delivered in an equally extraordinary way! Check out these 5 unique ways to give an experience gift that are sure to put a smile on your recipient’s face.
1. PUT IT IN A GIANT BOX
When we say giant, we mean GIANT! Go out and find the biggest box that you can, place your experience voucher in the bottom, and fill the rest up with colorful tissue paper or even balloons. For the final touch? Choose a bold wrapping paper and adorn your box with a massive bow. Big presents always capture the eyes and imaginations of the recipient, and we can already see your recipient’s face light up as they unearth your incredibly thoughtful gift. Whoever said that the best gifts come in small packages has got nothing on you!
Tip: Take it one step further and purchase a set of nesting gift boxes. Place the experience voucher in the smallest box, wrap it, and fit it into the next smallest box. Repeat until you have placed all of the boxes inside each other. Your recipient’s anticipation and excitement will grow as they unwrap and open up each box!
2. INCORPORATE A THEME
Are you treating someone to an exhilarating racing experience? Learn to fly adventure? Or how about a hot air balloon ride? Whatever it is, consider delivering your experience gift in a package that matches the adventure. For racing experiences, fold the voucher into the front seat of a toy Lamborghini or Ferrari. Similarly, you can include a model plane with your learn to fly package, or simply fold the voucher into a paper airplane! If your recipient is about to embark on a breathtaking hot air balloon ride, insert the voucher inside a balloon before inflating it with helium. These unique vessels are sure to add a fun twist to your gifting!
3. INCLUDE A PHOTO FRAME
Whatever adventure you choose, one thing is for sure, your experience gift is sure to provide your recipient with amazing memories. Including a decorative frame with the voucher will allow them to print out their favorite photo from the day and display it somewhere in their home. Every time they see the photo, they will think of you and your incredible gift!
Tip: Instead of a frame, consider a blank scrapbook. Your recipient can fill it with countless photos of their adventures for years to come!
4. SEND THEM ON A SCAVENGER HUNT
Scavenger hunts are not only incredibly fun, but they are also a phenomenal way to add personal touches to the delivery of your gift. All you have to do is provide your recipient with clues that allude to the location of your gift, then sit back and let the hunt begin! Incorporate personal touches by centering the clues around inside jokes or memories that only the two of you would understand. For the final clue, send them to a special location and present them with their experience voucher. Or, for the ultimate surprise, book their adventure in advance and end the hunt with a scenic cruise, aerobatic flight, food tour, spa treatment, or another unforgettable experience!
5. GIVE IT TO THEM IN CHOCOLATE
Who doesn’t love a good piece of delectable, melt in your mouth chocolate? We sure do! For an especially tasty reveal, consider hiding the experience voucher within a breakable chocolate heart. Your recipient will have to crack into this delicious treat in order to discover your wonderful experience gift. This delivery method will not only satisfy their soul, but their sweet tooth as well! Not a fan of chocolate? Include the voucher with a bouquet made out of fruit or inside a specially made surprise cake.
