They’re not called golden years for nothing!- Retirement gifts

Listen… do you hear that?? The sound of blissful retirement

In my opinion, the idea retirement sounds like heaven. I’m sure you as well as I can appreciate that relaxing is so much more rewarding if it has been earned. Well those young at heart family members certainly have earned it! So to celebrate their retirement, and pay them back for all those years of £20 notes… it’s never too late to say a hearty thank you!

Get your paws on a £10 experience with our Payday Panda-monium promotion!

As much as the more frugal among us hate to admit it, £10 won’t get you too far nowadays. With the cost of almost everything apparently rising by the minute, it seems more and more that you have to spend a fortune to get anything worth buying.

Here at Buyagift, we don’t like the idea of our customers paying more than they have to. We can’t reduce the price of your phone bill or give you a discount on your next takeaway, but we can certainly offer you great bargains on experience gifts!

More than just an brilliant pun, Payday Panda-monium is your chance to experience a wide range of exciting activities for the mere price of £10. Available from 10am to midnight this Friday, we’re offering a brilliant range of gifts at an amazing discount price. And why are we doing this? Partly to celebrate the end of the month, partly because we’ve fallen completely in love with Pandas (check out this guy for a reason why), and mostly because we just want to give you, our loyal Buyagift customers, a treat you deserve.

So whether you’re looking to get your Christmas shopping done for cheap or you just want to give yourself a little reward for all the hard work you may or may not have been doing (we’ll let you be judge of that one!), make sure you pick up an unforgettable experience gift for just £10 by clicking:

Oh, make me over!- personal shopper experiences

We’ve all been there- first thing on a Monday morning, and the outfit so carefully planned in your head the night before is still lining the dirty washing basket…  Picking out outfits is a time-consuming act at best and, at worst, an absolute nightmare.  Whilst Kate Moss is free to flit about in the saucy bits of string which comprise her latest clothing range without a second thought, some of us just don’t have the same appreciation of what ‘goes’ with what (I, for example, would not be adverse to wearing a snood with some gladiator sandals).

And it would appear that we are not alone in our desperation.  According to a recent survey, 71% of women leave dressing rooms with ‘a different perception’ of their bodies, and 11% admit to having a little cry upon realising that they just don’t have Gok Wan’s innate ability to throw together a catwalk-worthy combo.  However, before you resign yourself to a lifetime of smock tops and voluminous trackpants, help is at hand.

Help yourself through the winter chill – Sunseeker Powerboat Experience!

You may have noticed (and how could you not?) that it has started to get a little colder recently. With summer well and truly over, its time to dig out your woolliest hats and thickest jumpers as we prepare for 6 months of snow, rain and low temperatures.

If, like me, your winter plan usually involves watching repeats of badly written sitcoms and hiding under the covers until the sun makes its glorious return, you’ll be delighted with the newest addition to our selection of experience gifts – a Sunseeker powerboat experience. Available from May to October, this experience day is a great Christmas gift idea, providing a warm light of promise that’s sure to help you make it through the icy months ahead. Read more

Help Santa…! Give Rudolph a home – Adopt an Animal Experience.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
All creatures were stirring, from reindeer to mouse…
For two happy children had asked for a gift,
(They were fed up of ties, and socks left them miffed…)
of a Reindeer called Bob, who gave them both joy,
and oodles of love unlike average toys…
So move over jumpers and poor presents shift,
house Rudolph this Christmas from us…Buyagift.’ Read more

Expressly for you…- Orient Express

With all due respect to my local train network- which recently delivered me home to the open-armed fuzziness of my parents’ embrace (and a killer Sunday roast!)- but lengthy locomotive missions are not high up on my list of Favourite Things.  The fight for a seat, the cacophonous choir of tinny ringtones, the fact that you manage without fail to sit next to the person eating the smelliest sandwich in the WORLD- these are the little railway realities we could all do without.

It’s a date…- Personalised Christmas calendars.

Each and every year for the past decade I have suffered the same festive indignity that not even the nattiest of Christmas knitwear could equal.  For nearly forty years, my mother, Alison, has been harbouring a not-so-secret passion for spiritual stud-muffin Cliff Richard.  Too embarrassed to give in to her annual request for the latest Cliff calendar, my father delegates the unfortunate duty to yours truly.

“It’s not for me!” I routinely insist at the HMV tillpoint, with more than a hint of desperation in my voice.  “It’s for my mum”.  A slight arch of the shop assistant’s eyebrow and I’m officially a broken woman. Read more

Prepare for blast off with our great galactic gifts!

Just like almost every other person on the planet, the majority of us here at Buyagift would like nothing more than to take a rocket to the moon. Unfortunately though, that’s unlikely to happen soon – it can take several years to become a fully trained astronaut, and besides, we’d probably all fail the fitness test. If we were able to blast into space though, we’d now have a new reason to be excited, as NASA’s newest test rocket is preparing to launch. Read more

I’ve got the X Factor- All singing, all dancing.

As I’m sure you already know, last weekend marked an excellent episode of the X Factor with not one but two world-class divas taking to the stage to show us just what they were made of.  And, chequered pasts and dodgy jackets aside, even the most cynical of us have to admit that they did a ruddy good job (further highlighted by plastic-clad demon-twins John and Edward Grimes’ raucous rendition of ‘Oops! I did it again’).

In fact, so moved was I whilst vegetating in front of the tellybox, I decided upon a career change there and then.  However, before packing up the contents of my desk and making for the Hollywood Hills, I might need to call in a few favours courtesy of Buyagift…
