Give An Experience This Christmas – $100 Breakaway GC Giveaway!

in Everyday on

The struggle is real!  My family is small, but I ache to find “just the right present” for everyone on my list.  I’ve made my lists, poured through magazines, scoured the internet, but nothing seems quite perfect.  My Hubby does not need any more socks, my girls have enough sweaters for every day of the week, and how many purses does my sweet Mama really need.  So, how do you begin to find a gift for everyone on your list that will make them smile, bring them true joy, maybe even be memorable?  I turn to Breakaway Experiences.  An easy way to shop and they have unique ideas for everyone on your list!

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.
  • Did you leave your shopping to the last minute? Don’t 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.
  • Truly 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.
  • Still 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.

But before you do that here are a few fabulous ideas you need to check out:
