Are you looking for a gift that is different? Perhaps you don’t want to give your best friend or your mum and
dad the same presents as everyone else does. What can you buy that they will always remember? Why not get them
an ‘experience gift’?
The presents that people give have changed a lot in recent years and there has been a big risein the number
of people giving ‘experience gifts’ to celebrate those special occasions. This can be a flying lesson on a helicopter, a
day on a racetrack, an afternoon in a hot air balloon, or one of many other experiences that companies
areadvertising.
These experiences are usually very exciting. An 80-year-old man celebrated his birthday byflying a Tiger
Moth, an aeroplane from the 1930s. When he landed, he said, ‘That was a fantastic experience! I’ve always wanted
to go in a Tiger Moth. I never thought I could learn how to fly one. For my 90th birthday I want to drive a Ferrari
round a race track!’
Luckily, the cost of an ‘experience gift’ always includes insurance!
