With the help of Gifting Owl, you can make this Christmas the best one yet!
So get him on his way to start experiencing the world with these unique gift ideas for whatever he is into.
1. Authentic Culinary Experiences
There was once a great time to work on perfecting that sourdough loaf or cranking pasta from scratch.
Then… months have passed and you realise the forgotten sourdough starter has established a metropolis of its own, building its own society of bacteria.
Let's be honest… some of the kitchen gadgets never made it out of the box.
But don’t let this history stop men from reaching their culinary potential. Hand him over to the professionals for a cooking experience he’ll never forget.
These are the ultimate Christmas gifts for the travelling foodie in your life. Gifting Owl has the largest selection of culinary experience gifts offered on earth.
These experiences are the best way to learn about another culture and cuisine by getting a cooking course with a local in their home.
There is no better way to immerse yourself in another culture than this type of experience.
We all know the wise proverb ‘Give a man a fish and he'll feed for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’… So really, this is a multi-faceted gift.
While Mr. lucky gets to learn lifelong culinary skills, you also get to reap the benefits of his delicious creations.
This Christmas equip your food loving partner with all he needs to perfect his skills finally get the courage to pull off one of the most delicious dinner parties he's ever hosted thanks to this very popular gift.
2. Adrenaline Junkie
No matter who you are, it’s always scary to have a thrillseeker for a partner. Gifting an adrenaline activity may seem counterintuitive of this fear but is actually the perfect gift to ensure an element of safety to your partner's heart-racing needs.
Sending him to tandem skydive with an instructor or take on white water rafting will reduce the need to throw himself off a cliff for his weird and twisted ideals of ‘fun’.
Here at Gifting Owl, you can find a wide range of activities for whatever thrill gets him excited.
Even if his usual pastime activities don’t focus around adrenaline seeking, this may still be the way to go.
When you realise that taking out the trash became the most exciting time of week, it’s definitely time to seek your thrills elsewhere.
With activities opening back up, a jet boat ride or abseiling adventure may be the way to kickstart the old sense of adventure or at least replenish his adrenaline threshold that has been running on empty.
With a whole range of activities available, Gifting Owl has him covered for Christmas this year.
3. The Great Outdoors
The opportunity to get outdoors is more exciting than ever. Gifting a mountain hike is more than meets the eye. It’s freedom, fresh air and a new challenge to conquer, not to mention the beautiful views that await him at the top.
If hiking isn’t his forte, why not send him off on a deep sea fishing trip. An adventure like this is the perfect combination of serenity, learning and thrill seeking.
The washing tune of the ocean can be meditative in its song but the second a fish bites, it’s on!
With insider tips from fishing professionals, he’ll be reeling in catches you’ll undoubtedly be hearing about for the next year.
It’s worth it though, an experience like this doesn’t come around every day so you can take pride in being the one to give that to him.
For those who aren’t a Bear Grylls die-hard. The great outdoors can also be experienced from a more comfortable vantage point.
A vineyard experience can deliver all the fresh air and picturesque landscapes required with a deliciously crisp Pinot Gris to accompany it.
Whether you decide to gift this experience as a group voucher or a solo journey, he will return relaxed, educated and a little buzzed.
What more could you ask for from the great outdoors?
4. Pamper Package
Let be honest, no one is immune from the luxury that is an all expenses paid spa getaway.
Whether it’s a full body massage, exfoliating facial, steamy hot springs or the lot, we here at Gifting Owl have a range of health and beauty experiences that will have him thanking you for every minute of relaxation.
We all know stress is bad but in an era of side hustles, endless social opportunities and passion projects, it’s hard to think how sleep even fits into this equation.
It’s hard to treat yourself when you schedule a 25 hour day, so gift him a pamper package this Christmas because he deserves it.
Relaxation can improve functions down to a cellular level so by taking this time for mindfulness and wellness, he will return to the hurry of life, recharged and ready to go to welcome in the new year!
5. Adventure Seeker
An adventurer loves nothing more than to get out into the world and experience life from a new perspective.
Whether it's a bird's eye view from a hot air balloon, deep underground with a scuba-diving session or watching from land as the Northern Lights dance across the sky, a new adventure awaits.
Adventure can come in all forms. From high thrills to new experiences, any kind of challenge can spark an opportunity for exploration. This Christmas, give him the gift of adventure and watch as it changes his life.
6. The Photographer
I know what you’re thinking, ‘we can’t travel so what’s the point in a photo tour?’. But this experience gives him the chance to explore the city you know and love through a new lens.
The ability to be a tourist in your own town is usually unheard of but this opportunity makes the idea of a staycation sound more than enticing.
Whether he’s a professional photographer or budding Instagrammer, a photo tour will help refine his skills and explore his surroundings with a fresh perspective.
This Christmas gift for men can be delivered in various ways. A single voucher works perfectly to offer a moment for solo exploration, giving him the time to work on his skills and spend some time with the city he loves.
Alternatively, a couples voucher can be used to take each other's Instagram profiles to the next level.
You can find the perfect local shots that were hidden around the corner this whole time and learn each other's best angles that are sure to have the ‘likes’ rolling in.
A photo tour is sure to deliver some incredible snaps to last a lifetime.
7. Let Him Decide
Whether this is your 1st Christmas or 50th, some people are just impossible to buy for. Save the stress of finding the perfect gift and get him a personalised gift voucher instead.
That way he can find his own dream experience that he'll love and you’ll receive all the credit.
