Take a break from the motorway with our driving experiences

Spanning 200 miles and guiding up to 140,000 drivers everyday, the mighty M1 is perhaps the UK’s most iconic motorway –and it’s now in its 50th year of operation. To celebrate half a century of long-distance adventures we here at Buyagift have compiled a list of our top five favourite driving songs to celebrate the M1’s birthday. Guaranteed to have you rocking past all the roadworks. Read more

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:

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

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

Take on the stars with a Segway racing experience

Fun, fast and unusual – the Segway is a truly unique vehicle, and now even the celebrities are having a go! Always up for a challenge, the presenters of BBC Radio One tried their hand at steering a Segway today, as they took turns racing around the office.

Scott, Fearne, Becky and Chappers, the resident hosts of the station’s Scott Mills Show, raced for glory as they commanded the corners of the Radio One basement in a bid to find out just who was the fastest. The crew enjoyed themselves greatly, despite the fact that their efforts ranged from bad (Becky spent the majority of her lap screaming) to worse (Chappers managed to fall off the Segway while it was stationary).

Have a ball this Christmas- Personalised baubles!

While we here at Buyagift would hardly count ourselves as style icons (think more Joe Bloggs than Luis Vuitton), we like to think that we can tell the difference between a work of art and a design disaster. It’s not that we’re adverse to donning feather boas and purple jumpsuits; it’s just that we appreciate the value of subtlety and simplicity – something that especially applies to Christmas decorations.

Enjoy a record breaking deal- Drive an Audi R8 for just £69!

Just like Roy Castle and Kriss Akabusi, we here at Buyagift love the idea of breaking records. While our attempts at creating the world’s largest in-office human pyramid have almost always ended in disaster, we’re proud to announce that we’ve just broken one of our own personal records, offering you the chance to drive an Audi R8 for just £69 – our lowest priced supercar thrill ever!

With a personal endorsement from none other than Jeremy Clarkson, the Audi R8 is a driving machine at the top of its class. This stunning supercar has been created from over 70 years of motorsport innovation, and boasts truly impressive capabilities, including a top speed of 187 mph and an acceleration of 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds.

Enjoy a festive feast without the effort- Cheap Christmas hampers

There comes a time in every person’s life when they are given the charming opportunity (or cruel burden, depending on your opinion) to get involved with cooking Christmas dinner. An important tradition that often forms the centrepiece of many family’s big day, there’s little more satisfying than roasting the turkey to perfection and delicately preparing the pudding – unless, of course, it goes wrong.

The first time I donned the oven mitts and attempted to take charge in the kitchen was in my early teens. Having already suffered a few minor culinary setbacks, I was determined to prove cookery credentials, and so aided by my mother (who, unknown to me, had decided to spend the afternoon sneaking sips of mulled wine) I set about creating a luxurious festive feast. Everything was going brilliantly, and I even managed to get everything out of the oven without starting a fire, which was, for me, an impressive feat. Read more

Send yourself into (bohemian) rhapsody with a rocking theatre trip

Loud, proud, and almost ridiculously over-the-top – what wasn’t there to love about Queen? While poodle-haired guitar maestro Brian May recently brought the band’s legacy back to life (he and drummer Roger Taylor collaborated with Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers to produce a new album), the most potent memory of queen lies with the image of the late, great Freddie Mercury.

The moustached King of camp truly embraced the theatrical with his performances, and boasted one of the most impressive voices in rock history. Penning classic songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions and Radio Ga-Ga, Queen have influenced countless aspiring musicians and will forever remain as one of Britain’s finest musical achievements.
