Experience Days - Something For Everyone?

By Gino Hitshopi


When it comes to an employer showing their appreciation for the work their staff do, it can be a challenging process. The old adage 'it's the thought that counts' has never been truer than now. Experience days offer a way to demonstrate a certain degree of thought, in a way that more traditional gifts such as Champagne and chocolates cannot really do.

But what is an experience day? The term has risen to prominence over recent years, as a way to give a memory rather than an actual gift. Experience days can often give someone the opportunity to do something that they would not normally, either because of monetary of time restraints - or indeed because they lack the impetus to do so.

An experience day is a very wide term that encompasses a whole host of possibilities. You might choose to give someone the chance to go skydiving; surely there are few thrills akin to jumping out of a high altitude aircraft? For those who prefer to take their thrills at a more leisurely speed, there is always the spa day. Spa days give people the opportunity to really be pampered - and are often great ideas for experience days.

Of course, experiences are not necessarily only for giving to other people - they can be organised for yourself too. It is a great way to treat yourself or your loved ones when something important has happened. People sometimes set these experience days up if they achieve certain targets - either at work or in more personal matters.

If the experience day is revealed a little before the actual event takes place, there is a certain excitement which builds up and, in a way, is part of the gift itself. A book voucher does not hold this kind of value. But it does pose the minor problem of what to choose. There are a great many companies offering these kind of experience days, and the really good ones will offer a range of experience days, so that whoever you have in mind (or what you have in mind for yourself), there should be something to fit the bill. A company offering experience days that has a good reputation will probably provide a lot of information regarding the options available.

A hot air balloon ride is likely to provide some good memories, and offers a unique combination of a relaxed atmosphere with the thrill of gliding over beautiful countryside below. For those seeking extra thrills, you could choose skydiving or a jet fighter ride. Rally car driving is another high octane activity that is likely to top the wish lists of the adrenaline seeker.

Makeovers, facials, cooking experiences, massages, pedicures - the list of more laid-back experience days is similarly long. There are also fun ideas for younger people as well. With so many options, there is sure to be an ideal experience day for everyone.
