If you're buying for a adrenaline-seeker you have plenty of option as there are now hundreds of experiences which are bound to suit even the most hardened activity man; paintball, white water rafting, a day's go-karting or bob-sleighing; even a microlight flight. The price of gift experiences can cost as diminutive as £25, but can go up to any thousands of pounds for the most unusual and extravagant events.

Basic activities such as paintball are a great value option, but if you're as a matter of fact seeing to impress, a perfect package can be built that encompass some very extra experiences. How about a helicopter tour over London, or hiring a Harley Davidson motorcycle for the day? possibly you'd prefer to drive a Ferrari or an Apache Off-Road Racer, or take to the sky in a Champagne Balloon flight?

With an perceive there tends to be no wasted wrapping paper or unwanted packaging, and your gift won't just ending up stuffed into the back of a cupboard, never to see the light of day again. Saying that - a fast and furious driving perceive or a ride in a fighter plane is likely to come with a considerable carbon footprint, but you can of procedure make your mind up greener experiences if you wish.

So - this Christmas, why not give a memory, (rather than a pair of socks) to your friends and family, and join the growing trend of gifting experiences.
