The holidays are all about creating memories that last a lifetime and what better way to do that than by giving or sharing an experience with the ones you love. Traditional gifts of clothing, books, toys and trinkets are great and often serve a double purpose, but just think how cool it would be to open a gift that is purely for the fun of it! A gift that ticks all the boxes of being interesting, exciting, unique, entertaining and one that you are unlikely to get for yourself, but really, really want! That is exactly what types of gifts you will get when you purchase a present from Breakaway Experiences!
The very awesome idea of gifting a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience has never been easier. Breakaway Experiences (BE) has over 900 adventures in their library and work with over 130 experience companies in Canada, to offer you the best in “bucket list” ventures. By combing the ease of online shopping in the form of their gift cards, you can now purchase an experience whenever you want. Your gift is delivered to your recipients in-box whenever you want. Just pick the time and date and voila, it’s there! BE also has a hassle free exchange policy so just in case your idea of adventure is not the same as your loved ones.
