in Everyday on

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.

    1. Ive been in a hot air balloon, and driven a race car already so I would go with the swim like a mermaid package!

    4. Have I mentioned already that I love this concept, especially as a gift? I looked at the experiences, and there are a great variety of outings all over Canada. Love it!

    5. Hi Stephanie, These “Adventures” do sound exciting but I did not enter. Hopefully you don’t mind me explaining why. In my opinion these adventures are meant to be shared with hubby or friend. The AB ones would also mean for us to make a travel plan to the destination (ex Banff or Canmore). It sounds wonderful. Truly wonderful! IF you have the budget.

      • Hi NormaJane, I’d have to politely disagree. These adventures can absolutely be shared with a friend, family or Hubby or can be done alone. Adventures range in price point from low $30’s to of course much higher. Sleigh rides, archery, food tours. Lots for everyone and they are adding more every day.

    7. Omgoodness I see why deciding is so tough Flying lessons look so fun! I am so in agreement with you on giving gifts that they remember and cherish! Thank you for introducing me to Breakaway Experiences so fun!! They BBQ smoking one looks awesome 👏 too!!
