Christmas Gifts 2026

Why experience gifts make the best Christmas presents

Anyone who's unwrapped a fourth pair of novelty socks already knows this: people remember what they did long after they've forgotten what they opened. An experience gift gets the big reveal on Christmas morning, then gives them something to look forward to in the new year, when everyone could do with a lift.

Speed freaks can get behind the wheel of three supercars in one day with a Triple Supercar Drive. Fancy giving the gift of flight without the plane? Indoor skydiving with iFly runs at five UK centres: London, Birmingham, Manchester, Basingstoke and Milton Keynes.

Prefer something more civilised? Pair the view from The Shard with dinner at Marco Pierre White's London Steakhouse Co, or put them behind bars (the fun kind) with an immersive cocktail experience at Alcotraz. And yes, the dog can enjoy an experience too, with a dog-friendly hotel stay.

Not sure what they'd pick? An Experience Day Super-Voucher lets them choose, while you still get the credit for being thoughtful. Most experience vouchers are valid for 12 months, and the eVoucher arrives by email within 15 minutes.

Personalised Christmas gifts they’ll keep forever

Nothing says "I didn't grab this from the petrol station on Christmas Eve" like a gift with their name on it. A Personalised Engraved Photo Crystal Heart turns a favourite memory into a keepsake they'll hang onto long after the tinsel's back in the loft. Want to really spoil them? Pair a personalised keepsake with an experience, and they get something to treasure plus a day to remember.

Smiles guaranteed, or your money back

Buying for someone else can feel like a gamble. Will they love it? Is it really them? Our Smile Guarantee takes the pressure off: if they don't smile when they receive their gift, you can return it and get your money back. It's really that simple.
