Whether it’s for your partner, your parents, your bestie, or that impossible-to-shop-for someone, experience gifts are a meaningful way to show you care. They don’t take up space, but they do make space: for joy, connection, and memories that last long after the gift wrap’s gone.

This guide is your shortcut to gifting differently this year, because let’s be honest, shared moments are the best kind of present

Step-by-step: Your Kids Birthday Party Planning Checklist

Key Takeaways

  • Why experience gifts mean more than material things
  • Inspiring ideas for everyone on your list
  • Budget-friendly and luxury options
  • How to gift an experience creatively
  • Curated recommendations for everyone on your list

Why Choose Experiences Over Things?

We’ve all got enough stuff, probably more than we know what to do with. This Christmas, more people are shifting their focus from material presents to memory-making moments.

Giving an experience gift means:

  • Less Clutter, Less Waste:  No boxes to store, no wrapping to toss, just memories
  • More Connection, More Time:  Experiences bring people together and create space for real moments
  • Lasting Emotional Impact: Long after it’s over, the feeling sticks

From a cosy night in with an At-Home experience to a full-blown surprise Mystery Weekend, experiences bring people together in meaningful ways.


Pro Tip: Add a little something fun to unwrap. For example, if you’re gifting a picnic, include a cozy blanket. Planning a mixology class? A cocktail shaker is a cute touch.

Affordable Gifts That Still Feel Special

Sticking to a budget doesn’t mean sacrificing thoughtfulness:

  • A Heartfelt Letter: A handwritten letter or memory journal filled with shared moments
  • Personalised Playlist: A playlist of your favourite songs or a photo slideshow of your favourite times together
  • DIY Voucher: A cute voucher for a home-cooked meal, massage, or well-deserved night off
  • Cosy Night In: An at-home night in with snacks, candles, and movie or game night goodies


Pro Tip: If you don’t have time to cut up crafts or put together a slideshow, try a pre-planned experience instead. Greek Feast and Game Night, Challenge Party, or a Family Date Night all come with built-in activities, food suggestions, and fun conversation starters.

Christmas Gifts For Her

Whether she’s a romantic, a foodie, or just looking for something new to do:

  • Winery Day Out: Book a wine tour for two, and explore rolling vineyards, sample local drops, chat over a cheeseboard
  • Self-Care Basket: Curate a bundle with bath goodies, herbal tea, and face masks to use for when she needs a bit of pampering
  • Relaxation for Two: Book a Couples Float and Sauna session for a calming, shared escape
  • Pamper Night: Set up a spa night at home with an At-Home Pamper kit and her favourite treats
  • Wholesome Adventures: Surprise her with something delightfully different, like an alpaca encounter or a scenic nature walk with a picnic along the way

Christmas Gifts For Him

Make it memorable, not just functional:

  • Spontaneous Weekend Away: Surprise them with a Mystery Weekend where the destination you stay for the night is a secret
  • Quirky Cocktail Night: Shake things up with a DIY cocktail kit at home, complete with themed drinks and silly garnish competitions
  • Picnic on a Boat: Take lunch to the water with a picnic on a self-drive  boat

Christmas Gifts For Friends

Shared experiences are the best kind of Christmas gift:

Christmas Gifts For Families

Give the gift of quality time, for your own family or a family you know, with an experience everyone can enjoy together:

  • A Shared Adventure: Go on a fun day out with a Family Mystery Picnic, complete with clues and snacks
  • Fun for All Ages: Explore something new with an activity-filled Adventure Day and visit a working farm, a mini golf park, or an island
  • Quality Time at Home: Stay in with a Family Date Night that gets everyone laughing, bonding, and maybe just a little competitive.

Christmas Gifts For That Picky Someone

They’re hard to buy for, which makes flexibility key. Get them an AmazingCo Gift Card they can use whenever and wherever they want. It’s the perfect Christmas gift because: 

  • Long shelf life: They’ve got 3 years to redeem it, so no pressure to decide right away
  • Instant delivery: Perfect for last-minute gifting (we won’t tell)
  • Their Choice, Their Vibe: They can pick any experience on the site, from picnics to mystery adventures
  • Festive Designs: Choose from a range of cute, holiday-ready gift card designs to match your style

You can even have it digitally delivered on Christmas Eve. It doesn’t matter if your friend’s in Australia, the UK, Canada, the US, or New Zealand. We’ll take care of the online surprise for you.

FAQ

Are experience gifts suitable for all ages? Yes! AmazingCo has something for couples, families, and groups of friends.

Can I send the gift digitally? Yes. You’ll get a beautiful digital voucher you can print or email.

What if I don’t know their availability? Most experiences are open-dated and bookable anytime.

1. Set Your Budget

Before the fun begins, get clear on what you're happy to spend. Think of it as setting your party boundaries — it’ll guide your guest list, party decorations, entertainment, food, and supplies. A little planning here saves a lot of second-guessing later.
