subject: An Interesting Experience Day [print this page] Finding the ideal present for birthdays and special occasions is always a difficult task, but becomes more so the longer you have known your recipient. If you have already gone through the list of easy gift ideas and do not want to spend more money on an uninspiring present from the ranks of perfume, jewellery or flowers, then you might have a crisis on your hands. Of course there are no shortage of gift ideas, but so often many of these are either unsuitable or show a level of creativity that would make an accountant blush. So what can you do if you need to find an inspired gift that the recipient will remember for years to come? Heading online is a great way to get ideas and with the wide number of websites offering to provide that perfect present, there is certainly no shortage of retailers vying for your attention, whether it is a new pair of shoes or something more eclectic like a flight simulation game. But if you are short of time and want to get a quick overview of some of the more imaginative ideas, here is a concise list of possible presents that might help to set you along the right track.
The gift of food might seem like an odd choice for a friend or loved one, but not if it is for a child or family in the developing world. Making a charitable donation in the name of someone else is a great way to make someone feel good and make an impact on society at the same time. Gift donors will usually receive updates from their sponsored family, keeping them abreast of what is happening in their country. Frankly, there are few gifts that come close to reaching out to help a fellow man or woman.
Experience days are proving to be one of the most popular gift ideas of recent years and their variety is almost as extensive as their ubiquity. Whether it is a weekend film school course for a budding director, or a summers afternoon hot air ballooning in the Lake District, there is, quite literally something for everyone. The great thing about experience days is that they not only provide the promise of a great new activity, but can be cashed in at a time that is convenient to the recipient. Many activity day gifts come with associated gift packs that include items that will be useful on the day itself. So, for example, a day of flight simulation might also come with a book on the principles of aviation, as well as a document holder for all of your flight simulation documents.
