How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Best Gifts Can’t Be Wrapped! ~ $100 Breakaway Experiences GC

in Everyday on 11/22/18

Gift giving.  ‘Tis the season!  Have you made your list?  Checked it twice?  Do you know what you will be gifting your Hubby, your Dad?  That teen who doesn’t like anything?  When I give a gift I pride myself on finding not just a gift to fill the box under the tree, I want to give a present that makes the recipient smile, that they will remember, that passes along the warm fuzzies.  In other words, I  want the perfect present.  That’s not so much to ask. Ha! Do you know how hard that is to find?  Thanks to Breakaway Experiences finding a gift that will make your loved one jump for joy, smile so hard their faces hurts and make you feel like a million bucks just got a whole lot easier.

Here’s what I know:

  • Breakaway Experiences has embraced the ever-growing popularity of “once-in-a-lifetime” and “bucket list” experiences.  They offer certificates for a remarkable variety of unique experiences—from luxurious spa packages and gourmet food tours to the more adventurous experiences like stock car racing, helicopter flying lessons and sea doo expeditions.  Yes for real, stock car racing!
  • Did you leave your shopping to the last minute? Not to worry, with Breakaway Experiences you have access to Instant Gifting. You can buy their present any time of day and instantly print it up to put in a card or simply email them. Ohhh I bet I could do half my Christmas shopping without even getting off my couch!
  • Really stuck for what to buy that loved one?  You can direct that person to the Breakaway Experience website and have them create a Christmas Wish List for the things they really want.
  • Certificates to Breakaway Experiences never expire.
  • Really not sure what your loved one would enjoy?  That’s okay!  Breakaway Experiences offers a hassle-free exchange policy, and they can simply trade it for the full value of the original certificate.

Here are a few experiences that caught my eye:

Niagara on the Lake Wine Tours

Niagara on the Lake, ON
The Niagara region is home to some of the most beautiful vineyards in the world. Join an intimate guided tour through the wonderful world of Niagara wines.

Stock Car Racing Experience

Peterborough, Hamilton, London, Fredericton, Halifax, Medicine Hat, Saskatoon
Slide behind the wheel of a race primed stock car for some high octane, adrenaline-fueled stock car racing fun. Strap in, buckle up, and hang on for the racing experience of your life!

Swim Like A Mermaid

Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton and Montreal
Learn how to swim through the water like a mermaid in this fun and dynamic 60- minute aqua-fitness class.

Aerial Adventures

Kelowna, Nanaimo, Victoria, Vancouver
Unleash your wild side and swing and jump across cargo nets, tightropes, rope swings, swinging logs, wobbly bridges, and more. These aerial adventures make for the perfect family outdoor adventure!

With just a click you can browse through the Breakaway Experiences site, searching the many options by Experience Type, Occasion, or Recipient.  You can even narrow down your results by searching experiences available in your area.  Having trouble deciding what would be the perfect gift for your loved one?  A gift card is always a good idea – your recipient can choose their own adventure!

I know I couldn’t choose my favourite adventure and this is why I’m thrilled to be able to offer one lucky reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs a $100 Gift Card to Breakaway Experiences!  Yes, one of you will be able to choose your own experience or put that gift toward the experience of your dreams!  To enter, please go check out Breakaway Experiences and then come back and tell me; which experience would you choose!

      These all look cool! I think one day I would like someone to just surprise me for a vacation, even just a short one. Just tell what weather to pack for, how much fun would THAT be?

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
