Amazing Adventure Gifts That Transcend Ordinary
Looking for a really original idea? Try adventure gifts!
If you're sick of giving out ties, it's time to look into adventure gifts! Never heard the term? Don't despair -- you're not alone. But adventure gifts are starting to catch on as an exciting and creative way to surprise even the most experienced traveler, cynical man, or hard to shop for millionaire.
New to giving adventurous gifts? No problem! Check out these ideas to get you started on the adventure gift of a lifetime.
1. Local adventures
Sometimes it's hard to shop for adventure gifts online because many of them are location-specific. That makes your own backyard a great place to search for skydiving instructors, scuba courses, and the like. Almost any of them offer gift certificates. Think about what may happen in your backyard and check the yellow pages: you might be surprised!
2. Visit Giftybox
Gifty Box does terrific adventurous gifts ranging from deep sea diving to Olympic athleticism. Go bungee jumping, climb a mountain, or learn to bond with a falcon: if you can think of it, Gifty Box probably has an adventure gift to match it. Do some browsing and let your imagination run free!
3. Try Cloud 9 Living
Cloud 9 Living is another great site with tons of fantastic and original gift ideas. If you know someone who whines about a boring, tame life, give them a couple seconds of bull riding to break the monotony -- or keep things a bit tamer with indoor climbing lessons. The choice is yours!
4. Buy a piece of Mars
Do you strongly suspect that a real adventure gift would send your pals running -- but that they'd like to feel adventurous? Why not buy them a couple acres of land on Mars? That way, when they open the place for tourism, they'll have a place to build their first condo.
5. Learn to be a spy
No adventure gifts are cheap, but The 007 Experience is definitely not for a casual acquaintance: it clocks in at about $1,000, not to mention travel costs. However, if you know someone who's always longed to be a superspy, they won't believe this gift. Evasive driving, self defense, you name it, they'll learn it. What a gift!
Remember: adventure gifts are a fun, creative way to shop for the person who has everything!
