Discover the Thrill of Indoor Skydiving for Just £29!

If there’s one thing our mother’s taught us, it’s that it’s not nice to boast. Well, sorry mum, but we’re going to have to break the golden rule, because we’ve just created a deal that we simply can’t keep to ourselves. We’ve sent the prices of our indoor skydiving experience days plummeting (see what we did there?!) to just £29! Now costing less than a pair of shoes and being at least a hundred times more exciting, you can try this truly unique experience without breaking the bank. Read more

It’s just another sign of the times…

Much like wearing a velveteen suit to your wedding (as, indeed, my father did), Shell Suits, space hoppers and computerised virtual pets all seemed like A Good Idea at the Time.  Even the queen herself counts a mounted singing fish as a valued part of the Balmoral décor, thus demonstrating the case that even the Elect aren’t immune to an occasional bout of poor judgement.

Create a great memory with a flying experience!

If there’s one thing we love here at Buyagift HQ (other than exciting experience days), it’s people who follow their passions, regardless of how crazy they may seem. 67 year-old Alan Shipp reached for the sky recently as he completed work on his very own aeroplane – built entirely in his garage. As the plane left the ground, Shipp, who spent an exhausting 11 years constructing his masterpiece, became the first man in Europe to single-handedly build a four-seater aircraft from scratch.

Skim the waves with a wild water sports experience.

Some people seem to live for exciting experiences, which, here at Buyagift, is something we can appreciate. Andy Ward recently set a new world record as he became the first person to kite-surf across the English Channel. The 33-year-old spent six hours skimming 70 miles across the waves from the Channel Islands to his home port of Poole in Dorset, as a fundraiser for the Special Boat Service Association. Read more

Say it like you mean it- Personalised cards

Years ago, my grandmother presented me with a sparklingly sentimental Christmas card, proudly conferring upon me the title of ‘World’s Greatest Granddaughter’.  Little did dear Nana foresee the ensuing conflict this would cause between Cousin Nicola and I upon discovering we had both received the same affectionate accolade. Fifteen years on, and the jury’s still out as to which of us is more deserving of the title.

I can’t help but think that, had Nana not allowed herself to fall victim to her local newsagent’s 2-for-1 offer, Granddaughter-gate might never have happened.  This is, of course, a particularly extreme example of a Festive Faux-pas; however, the fact remains that nothing beats a personal touch- it’s the little details which make the difference.  Read more

Tear up the track with a driving experience at a famous racing circuit!

Formula One fans will be all too aware that the race for the world championship title is starting to hot up. With only three races remaining, Jensen Button is edging his way towards victory, having recently extended his lead to 15 points after the Singapore Grand Prix. Read more

The Buyagift Silverstone Challenge: a driving experience to remember!

When we’re not extremely busy searching out and providing you, our customers, with the most exciting and unusual activity days out there…well, we like to have a bit of fun. A trip to the pub doesn’t quite cut the mustard for our hard working team and, lets face it, the hangover just isn’t worth it. So, we put our heads together and thought well why not combine a product testing day with an event to say thank you to all our partners for their hard work. The result, a driving day at Silverstone spent in the company of some of the greatest vehicles out there. We don’t do things by halves at Buyagift you know! Read more

Fly me to the moon… plot G347 that is!

As much as we’d like to, not everyone can afford a trip to the stars and beyond!

For those of you who don’t have the oodles of flyer points which are bound to be needed for one of Mr Branson’s famed up and coming ‘Virgin Galactic’ holidays in late 2011 – why not take a galactic leap onto the property ladder instead? Join in with the space-race with your very own acre of Moon Estate! Read more

Make the most of our tumbling prices with our Special Offer Sphereing experiences!

Lets be honest…there is nothing quite like the thrill of a good tumble. For all those who would prefer to take a roll without the cuts and bruises, strap yourself in for a spherical surprise guaranteed to be enjoyed by all.

Thought up by those zany, New-Zealanders’, Sphereing is relatively new to the British Isles. Unsurprisingly this adrenaline pumping hobby has taken the UK by storm – and why wouldn’t it we hear you ask?!

What better way to experience the rolling hills, valleys and dales of our great nation than from inside a giant bouncing bubble in one of our Sphereing days out? Cackle and whoop as you race down a hill on a three foot cushion of air. A safety harness will keep you from rattling around as you make your way down a variety of sloped venues across the UK.
