An experience gift is an event rather than an object: a photo shoot, a workshop, a concert or a trip. Such gifts suit people who "have everything" and stay in the memory for a long time. Here are the types of experience gifts, how to choose the right one and how to present a voucher nicely. Ideas for other people and occasions are in our guide what to give: gift ideas.
A bouquet to go with a voucher: see our flowers in a box and roses in a box sections.
Psychologists note that experiences often bring joy for longer than things: people remember them, talk about them and share them. An experience also takes up no space and can be a reason to spend time together.
To avoid getting lost among hundreds of vouchers, start from the person’s character:
| Category | Examples | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Adrenaline | go-karting, indoor skydiving, parachute jump, quad bikes | active, competitive people |
| Relaxation | spa, massage, floatation, hammam | the tired and the overworked |
| Romance | rooftop dinner, couple photo shoot, yacht trip | couples, anniversaries |
| Workshops | pottery, cooking, floristry, wine tasting | creative, curious people |
| For children | escape rooms, trampoline park, science show | school kids and the whole family |
A voucher is just an envelope, so it lacks a “wow” moment when you hand it over. The easiest fix is a small bouquet: flowers create a festive mood straight away, and the experience extends the gift for weeks. Tuck the voucher into the card with the bouquet or ask the florist to fix the envelope among the flowers, so the surprise is revealed a little later.
A voucher on its own looks modest, so add something to it: a nice envelope, a card and a small bouquet or boxed arrangement. That gives the gift a tangible part and an instant sense of occasion. Wrapping ideas in "How to wrap a gift beautifully".
An experience: a photo shoot, a workshop, a concert, a trip or a spa day.
In an envelope with a card and a small bouquet or arrangement.
The person's personality, any health restrictions and the voucher's validity.
