Modern Gifts

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 rise in the number of people giving “experience gifts” to celebrate some special occasions. This can be a flying lesson in a helicopter, a day on a race track, an afternoon in a hot air balloon or one of many other experiences that companies are advertising.

These experiences are usually very exciting. One 80-year-old man celebrated his birthday by flying a Tiger Moth, an aeroplane from the 1930s. When he landed, he said,

“That was a fantastic experience! I've always wanted to go on 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!
