Gift shopping, am I right? You're meandering around the mall looking at stuff for your person, but nothing jumps out. Are they really going to care about another sweater or random trinket?
Nah.
But you still want to get them something to make them smile. Well, listen up because we've got the solution - experience gifts!
Now, what even is an experience gift? It's giving someone not an object to collect dust on a shelf but a chance to do something totally fun and memorable!
Maybe it's catching major air sandboarding down desert dunes, screaming your heads off at Atlantis waterpark, or cruising the Dubai Creek while the sun sets - something wild, adventurous, or relaxing.
The options are always wide open! And we're telling you, go this route instead of regular gifts that'll be forgotten in a month.
Normal gifts are your typical stuff you can wrap up - another phone case, a fancy vase, the usual. There ain't nothing wrong with those when you need them. But experience gifts mean giving memories that'll blow their socks off instead!
Rather than just handing over an item, you're giving them a chance at something incredible, like racing sick supercars on the Yas Marina Circuit.
Instead of a bottle of perfume, picture surprising your bestie with a girl's day out, getting facials and massages at a bougie spa. Catching the vision?
With options from dune buggy drives in the desert to a hot air balloon ride chilling 1,000 feet over Dubai with 360 views, you simply can't beat it!
But why gift experiences? Here are some good reasons why there are always the better choice.
Remember those field trips back in elementary school, like visiting the aquarium and totally geeking out over massive sharks?
Or think about family vacations, like when everyone rode water slides for the first time at Wild Wadi and couldn't stop laughing. Guaranteed, those awesome experiences will outshine the lame toys you got at some point!
See, adventures activate all your senses, which get encoded powerfully into your brain. So when you gift someone, say, wakeboarding lessons or a relaxing afternoon tea spa date, you're giving 'em lifelong memories, not just a "thanks for the gift" on Messenger. Get me?
I'm not going to lie; the same old store-bought gifts for moms and dads get re-gifted real quick.
But when you give an experience matching someone's bucket list, like a seaplane ride over Dubai or a Michelin star dining splurge because you know they obsess over cooking shows? Next-level thoughtfulness.
A custom experience aligned with who they are says, "I pay attention to what ignites you." So gifting your adrenaline junkie buddy something chill as Imgworld tickets over, say, socks, makes them feel special.
You know when you book an overseas vacation to Thailand and freak out for months? That insane anticipation feels almost as good as the actual trip sometimes! The same goes for experience gifts since it's an extended build-up.
Picture this - you slyly surprise bae with a couple's evening kayaking across the magical bio-luminescent waters of Abu Dhabi under the stars. How stoked would they be daydreaming about that for weeks and unable to tell anyone? The thought definitely counts, too, with gifts like this!
Science says any thrill or happiness snagged from stuff like new shoes or gadgets fades fast. But happiness sparked by insane experiences is your gift? That's the gift that keeps on giving!
Like each time you reminisce about wave running with dolphins in Dubai with the recipient, that awesome memory floods both your brains with feel-good chemicals all over again! Even looking at those badass pics brings pure bliss. A cute mug can't compete.
When it comes to regular presents, often it's just one use and then done. But with, say, a 2-night staycation package, that baby spans numerous experiences!
From couples massages, stargazing on balconies in the evening, exploring new-to-you local areas, and beyond - so much awesomeness bundled into one gift!
Oh, and did we mention experiences like dining vouchers can be spread out into multiple mini-adventures, too?
Maybe you indulge in a lavish five-course meal at a 7-star restaurant this month, then pop bottles next month with the remainder.
Aren't we all glued to our phones enough these days? But experience gifts practically guarantee actual face-time!
It forces bonding time, whether giving your parents a family pass to Motiongate Theme Park or sending your homegirls to a flower-arranging workshop together.
No playing Candy Crush or scrolling Insta during moments like terrified-excited screaming circling Universal Studios rollercoasters or teasing each other's ugly cry faces during couples massages!
Way more connecting than just texting, "ty for the socks, girl!" Real-life connections matter.
Whether gifting your boyfriend, secret Santa with your coworkers or whatever - experiences gotcha covered for literally any personality or occasion!
Want a lovely Christmas gift or an Eid gift for that person close to your heart? Imagine opening up exclusive tickets to a luxury cruise through Musandam fjords and flipping out!
Thanks to so many options, you can match the experience to whoever and whatever perfectly. Spa days for your high-stress manager, supercar Hot Laps at Yas Marina Circuit for car heads, virtual reality at The Void for tech nerds - anything's possible! Go beyond the boring sweater this year!
To recap real quick - we think adventures as gifts crush regular stuff because:
So, on the next gift-giving occasion, think outside the physical box when racking your brain over what gift to grab!
Whether you go chill at a spa, race supercars, catch a flick, or anything in between, it'll wow way harder and spark smiles for years, reminiscing over fun moments only experiences can deliver.
And good news - tons of options in UAE! For killer experience gift ideas across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond, swing by Wondergifts whenever inspiration strikes.
Skydiving, hot air ballooning, luxury hotel staycations, theme park passes, relaxing spas - we've got you covered for every person and occasion!
