It’s pretty fair to say that things have been a little depressing lately, haven’t they? Not only is the weather as consistently dull, dreary and drizzly as ever, but now we’ve also got the Credit Crunch hanging over us to truly make life seem just that little bit grimmer. So with relentlessly grey skies and what seems like a constant stream of depressing news items on the telly, it’s easier than ever to forget to try and enjoy our lives and instead become bogged down by the day to day grind of life in not only rubbish weather, but also a very serious economic crisis.

We all know how it is there’s so much to worry about these days that any thoughts of actually getting a little fun and enjoyment out of life have slipped way down on most of our lists of priorities. If we’re not fretting over declining interest rates or feeling stressed about the state of the housing market, then we’re wondering how much more rain the drains can take before the street starts flooding. Not a very pretty picture is it?

That’s why in times like these it’s more important than ever to remind ourselves that we’re only going to live once and so despite gloomy weather and even gloomier financial crisis, we should take time to make the best of life and find a little enjoyment wherever we can. After all, isn’t it pretty fair to say that everyone could use a little light relief at the moment?

With this in mind, when buying gifts for friends and relatives it’s a great idea to go for something that will bring a little enjoyment to their lives. Of course this could mean choosing a CD, DVD or book that you know they’ll enjoy and will of course offer a source of entertainment on another rainy afternoon. Alternatively, you could go for an item of clothing or jewellery that you think they might like, or even a bottle of bubbly.

Yet whilst all of these gifts are certainly nice enough, they aren’t really going to go down in history as being particularly thoughtful or original and they certainly aren’t going to be remembered for years to come as the best present your sister/friend/uncle ever received.

what then do you do when you really want to buy your friend or loved one a brilliant birthday present that will not only help them rediscover how fun life can be in this somewhat dismal time, but that they will also remember with fond memories for years to come? Well, short of handing over a stack of cash and encouraging them to blow it on whatever their heart desires, undoubtedly a brilliant option is gift experiences.

Gift experiences do basically exactly what they say on the tin rather than buying the lucky birthday boy or girl a physical present (such as a bottle of wine or a new pair of socks), you’re actually buying them an experience. And seeing as life really is about the experiences we have rather than the material possessions we collect, what present could be better?

Many people assume that gift experiences are primarily for thrill seekers and it is definitely true that there are a great deal of gift experiences out there designed to please even the most daring adrenaline junkie! For keen drivers there are many gift experiences that involve the opportunity to drive what many would consider to be ‘dream cars’, such as a Ferrari, a Lotus, a Porsche or even a Formula 1 racing car. Other thrill seekers might enjoy gift experiences such as sky diving, bungee jumping or white water rafting and you never know, these gifts could even introduce them to their new favourite hobby! Gift experiences are also a great opportunity to try out something unusual, or that you might not normally have the Levitra Professional opportunity to do in everyday life. Think segway rally racing and JCB driving!

Gift experiences aren’t just ideal for those seeking a little excitement, as there are many other types of gift experiences out there. For a little relaxation there are many different kinds of pampering and spa gift experiences and there are also ones that include makeovers and photo shoots!

Many gift experiences also appeal to people’s hobbies. Those who enjoying singing, for example, might love gift experiences which give them a day in a recording studio and food lovers are likely to love gift experiences which incorporate cooking courses.
