Giving an experience gift is a thoughtful way to celebrate a special occasion or simply let someone know you care. Rather than a physical present, you can offer a memorable activity the recipient can choose and enjoy. This guide will walk you through each step of the process using Gifting Owl to send an experience gift to a loved one, friend or colleague.

Tips for Giving Experience Gifts
-
Consider Preferences: Think about what your recipient enjoys - adventure, food, relaxation, or travel.
-
Location Matters: Check that the chosen experience is available in or near your recipient’s area.
-
Add a Personal Touch: Including a thoughtful message makes the gift more meaningful.
-
Delivery Options: Decide whether to send by email or print at home to include in a physical greeting card.
-
Consider Gifting for Two: Consider giving a gift voucher for two people, if you budget allows. Or let them know you will join them on the experience.
