Ride in a vintage biplane over the Blue Ridge Mountains

, sail a yacht in Annapolis, Md., or give the gift of a guided photo safari tour of the Washington, D.C. monuments -Washingtonians will now have far more exhilarating possibilities than the usual standby gifts to choose from thanks to the launch today of Excitations.

Excitations, an experiential gift-giving company is quickly making the days of last minute scrambling to find the perfect gift a thing of the past.

The Northern Virginia based startup offers gift buyers of every stripe an easy way to give friends, family and business associates the experience they've always wanted whether its a stint behind the wheel of a race car, a feng shui home makeover or an introduction to fly fishing.

Many people have all the material things they want, but they long for great experiences, says Excitation CEO Ian Landy. Physical objects are soon forgotten, but the memory of receiving a unique experience can last a lifetime." In fact, experiential giving is a trend that is hardily entrenched in Europe and finally getting some traction in the U.S.

Americans spend $253 billion a year on gifts, with the average an adult spends almost $2,000 a year 40 percent of it during the holiday season. Experiential gift-giving is considered by some market analysts to be the next big thing.

"Experiences are the cutting edge of gift-giving," says Landy. "Many people are rejecting materialism and starting to look for more creative forms of giving that make a truly lasting impression."

Excitations offers a variety of categories and a wide range of price points, some starting for as little as $50. Something can be found to compliment any personality including children. Experiences are the answer to finding that perfect gift each one set to thrill, rejuvenate and enjoy such as:

-Exclusive - A reptile encounter, an opportunity to meet a member of a professional sports team or a curry cooking class;
