Gift giving for adults can be a challenge, but not when you choose Breakaway Experiences. I think most of us would agree that when we give someone a present, we want them to not only love and enjoy it, but perhaps rank it as one of the best things they have ever received. That’s not too much to ask out of a gift, is it? Wellllll, it could be if you shop at the same old tired places, from the same old list being passed around the family.
Why Choose Breakaway Experiences?
Making someone happy is usually the motivation behind gifts gifted during the year, but especially during the holidays. The challenge comes in when, as adults, we tend to buy ourselves what we need well before our birthday, Hanukkah or Christmas comes around, leaving our loved ones little to choose from. The beauty of a gift from Breakaway Experiences is not only the options they have, but the very fact that most people would not buy themselves an experience in the first place. So what does that mean for you? It means that your gift would most certainly be one of the best things they have ever received! And we have some great ideas for you to check out.
Brewery Tours & Beer Tastings
Know someone who loves beer? Treat them to a Breakaway Experience with a tour of your local micro-brewery! They might learn the secrets to that special local flavour or the history behind it’s creation. Many tours and tastings will quench your thirst in no time allowing you to sample cold, crisp, craft beer (and some good food) while taking in a guided tour and some great ambiance. Fascinating, fun and flavourful, you will probably want to tag along with the person you gift this experience to. You can find some of these tours and tastings in Calgary, Halifax, Kelowna, Kingston, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria.
Wine and Distillery Tours
Breakaway Experiences has a whole range of wine tours and tasting experiences that make wonderfully unique gifts for friends and family members with a passion for wine (even if that family member is you!) Go behind the scenes and learn about wine production, the characteristics of different grapes and how to pair fine wine when you dine. While Ontario is home to many lovely wineries, check out just how many other options you have across the country!
If wine is not your recipient’s choice of beverage, check out this cool Sake tour in Toronto’s Distillery District where they will learn about it’s history and how to make it!
If cocktails and spirits are where it’s at than a distillery tour is an excellent idea for under the tree or menorah. Learn to make the type of cocktails that will keep your friends coming back for seconds and enjoy spirit tasting sittings that will tingle your taste buds. Toronto, Yarmouth, Kelowna and a few other cities are host to these great outings.
Get Behind The Wheel
Car experiences are secretly something everyone wants to partake in; not just men. And the great thing about the offerings at Breakaway Experiences is the amazing types of adventure you can have behind the wheel. And they will all fit inside a gift bag. You can experience:
- A Police Car Chase
- Stock Car Driving
- Off Road Driving
- Exotic Car Driving Experience
- Stunt Car Driving
- Vancouver Mustang GT – Camaro SS Racing Experience
Winter Fun For Everyone
Sometimes we need a little push to get out and enjoy the beautiful country we live in during the cold months of winter. If you choose Breakaway Experiences they have some incredible ways to do just that. Who wouldn’t want to see Mother Nature (and some gorgeous and friendly pups) up close and personal by having a Dog Sledding Experience? Or stretch your legs after hanging out in front of the fire with a trek on some Snowshoes!
We all know someone who has yearned to hit the slopes, but just hasn’t had the time to learn or the opportunity. Gifting them one of these exhilarating Skiing and Snowboarding Experiences will not only make you the best gift giver ever, but just might encourage someone to start a new hobby.
Food Lovers Rejoice
Giving someone a gift card to a favourite restaurant is thoughtful,kind and safe. Step outside the comfort of your local chain restaurant and give them the gift of fine food and maybe even some adventure. All over the country you can find ways to tempt even the pickiest palate, like:
- Maritime Lobster Supper at Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market
- Cowboy Cookout & Horseback/Covered Wagon Ride in Banff
- Jewish Montreal Food Tour
- Bowen Island Dinner & Zodiac Boat Tour
- Dark Table Calgary
- Gourmet Victoria Dinner & Drinks Tour
- Ultimate Montreal Chocolate Tour
- Whistler Fine Dining Tour
- Sunday Brunch Sail in Toronto
