1. Wine & Dine Experiences

If you are unsure of what to get, or if you simply don’t know your giftee as well as you’d like to, a food experience is bound to be much appreciated. Who doesn’t love food? And if your giftee just happens to be a certified foodie, you’re in luck. With the plethora of completely unique dining experiences and tours available on Gifting Owl, it’ll be near impossible to just buy one. The sheer range of food and drink experiences available is almost intimidating, from captivating excursions that show guests how their favourite beverages are made to curated food tours that show off the best of what a city may have to offer, luxurious river cruises that offer beautiful views with lunch to culinary classes that will have guests showing off new recipes to their friends at dinner parties.

With more cuisines than you can name from all around the globe, there’s not a chance their favourite won’t be featured on our site, making the gift hunting just that much easier for you.

2. Authentic Culinary Experiences

 

If your giftee happens to be travelling, Gifting Owl is also home to hundreds of authentic culinary experiences that are completely unforgettable. These lovely experiences see guests met by a local who welcome them to their home and introduce them to their delicious cuisine. Guests not only learn mouthwatering authentic recipes but also the unique traditions and customs of the local culture. A couple of stand out examples include; Thai Home Cooking In The Heart Of Bangkok, Authentic Ethiopian Cooking Class And Coffee Ceremony and Tuscan Family Recipes With An Expert Cook In Florence, just to give you a small taste of some of the remarkable experiences available. 

3. Pamper Packages

If you happen to be buying for someone who deserves a serious pampering or just loves a relaxing day out, look no further than our spectacular range of truly indulgent health and beauty experience gifts. Sometimes we all need a chance to stop and take some time out from our hectic everyday lives and what better time to choose than your giftee’s 21st birthday! A 21st birthday can be a very reflective occasion in one’s life and a relaxing experience may be the perfect way to celebrate and/or gift. An experience of this calibre also emphasises to young adults the importance of mindfulness, wellness and finding a balance. His life is only going to keep getting busier and busier and a gift like this can really reinforce what’s truly important in their new voyage of life. With so many delightful experiences on offer and no two being the same, the only tricky part will be deciding which one to choose. Relaxing never seemed so difficult! From an oil massage in Thailand, a hot spring and mud bath experience in Vietnam or even a traditional Turkis bath visit, Gifting Owl has a huge range to choose from. Moreover, if your giftee happens to be gallivanting around the world, as many at their age do, Gifting Owl also boasts a range of premium airport lounge passes in select airports that are guaranteed to make their trip just that much better. 

4. Adrenaline Thrills

All the way on the other end of the spectrum lies pure adrenaline thrills. If this 21-year-old birthday boy happens to be a thrill-seeker, here at Gifting Owl we might just have a couple tricks up our sleeve that will really get their heart pumping. If free falling downwards from incredible heights, driving along in supercharged vehicles, soaring through the skies in helicopters or picking up some serious speed down river rapids doesn’t satisfy their craving for a thrill then nothing will! Gifting Owl is awash in experiences that are bound to scratch their itch and depending on your personal fear levels, you may just want to watch from the sidelines for some of these exciting yet somewhat frightening experiences. What better way to commemorate someone’s future adventures and endeavours in adulthood than making him jump out of a moving plane with only a parachute. Why not tick this truly spectacular happening of their bucket list with one of the many unforgettable skydiving experiences we have available. However, if this is one step too far for him, maybe consider the more stomachable idea of bungee jumping. 

5. Outdoor Adventures

 

If they’re more interested in outdoor activities Gifting Owl also boasts experiences that will guarantee a killer of an adrenaline rush such as white water rafting, sandboarding, climbing and abseiling to name a few. Alternatively, if your giftee is a known gearhead we have many exhilarating driving experiences perfect for anyone with a need for speed. 

Make his first step into adult life a day he'll always remember. Think outside of the box and ignore the pressures often associated with milestone birthdays. Let him know how much he really mean to you with a carefully considered experience that you’ll know he'll adore.
