How To Guide: How to Give an Experience Gift

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. 

How to Gift an Experience: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Go to the Gifting Owl Website:
   Open your browser and visit giftingowl.com.
2. Browse Available Experiences:
   Use the search to find an experience suited to the recipient. Filter by activity (e.g. Whale Watching), occasion (e.g. 21st Birthday), or location (e.g. Sydney, Australia). You can also filter by price to help find the best gift for your budget.
3. Select the Experience:
   Click on the experience you’d like to give, and select 'buy as a gift voucher.'
4. Or Select a Value Based Gift Voucher:
   Alternatively, you can choose to give a value-based voucher and let the recipient choose their own experience. All gift vouchers are valid worldwide and can be used on one or multiple experience bookings.
5. Select the Value or Number of Participants:
   Select 'Add gift voucher' to add the gift to the cart, and proceed to the checkout.
6. Personalise the Gift:
   Enter the recipient’s name, email address, and add a personal message if you wish. You can also choose the exact delivery date and time for the voucher.
7. Review and Complete the Purchase:
   Check all details and proceed to checkout. Once the payment is complete, the recipient will receive the gift voucher by email instantly or at your scheduled time. Alternatively, you can send the gift voucher to yourself to print and deliver in person.

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.
