How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

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

in Everyday on 11/21/19

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:

Christmas gifts you can enjoy together:

St. Lawrence Market Feast – Shop, Cook and Dine with Chef Scott

Location: Toronto

Grab a friend and join Chef Scott at Toronto’s historic St. Lawrence Market for a cooking class like no other. Shop for and cook a five-course dinner party paired with local craft beers and Ontario wines.  Perfect for the foodie on  your list!

Dark Table

Calgary and Vancouver

I want to do this!  Who wants to fly to Vancouver with me?  Treat your senses to the most unique journey you have ever experience. Be ready to fully re-evaluate your perception of smell and taste as you dine in complete darkness.  Can you imagine?

Sweet Christmas gifts:

Toronto’s Ultimate Chocolate Tour

Location: Toronto

If you have someone on your list that adores all things chocolate, this is the tour for them! Discover the sweet side of the city as you visit a variety of boutique stores and sampling chocolates & chocolaty treats like macarons and more.  Oh, my, yum!

The Vancouver Art Deco and Chocolate Tasting Tour

Location: Vancouver

Indulge in delicacies at two of the Vancouver’s finest chocolatiers as you stroll and learn the stories of fame, mystery and murder behind the city’s best Art Deco architecture.  How intriguing!

Christmas gifts that go really fast:

Exotic Car Racing Experience

Location:  Toronto and London

Choose from over 10 of the fastest and finest cars in the world for a no speed limits spin at either Canadian Tire Motorsports Park or Grand Bend Motorplex.  I can think of a couple people on my list that would adore this experience!

Stunt Driving Experience

Location: Toronto

Receive hands-on training from experienced stunt drivers and experience the thrill of making a car do some fun, crazy stunts.

Christmas gifts to pamper them with:

Ready to win?

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 follow this mandatory step: Go check out Breakaway Experiences and then come back and tell me; which experience would you choose?

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!
