Stuck for Ideas? Here are Our Best Winter Birthday Gift Ideas

With Christmas out of the way and a long January ahead, you might want to start getting some ideas together for those who have a birthday during the winter. With unpredictable weather often on the cards, it can be hard to know how to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. However, we have some incredible experiences under our sleeve that can be enjoyed whatever the weather!

From relaxing on a luxury Spa Day to steaming around a race track in a Supercar to learning the art of making bread, depending on the personality you’re shopping for, we have suggestions for every interest.

Winter doesn’t have to be about hibernation (although it can be if you want to) but offers the perfect time to try something new - treat someone special to a unique experience voucher as we present you our best winter ideas for birthday gifts.

• Warm up with a Luxury Spa Break

The cold winds and dark days can play havoc on our moods at the best of times, but can also be taxing on our bodies. At Experiences UK, we think there’s no better way to get around this than with a trip to the Spa. With our Aromatherapy Massage Spa Day at just £75, you can enjoy a 50 minute aromatherapy facial or massage treatment and then choose to stay all day at this incredible complex.

Treat someone to a winter pampering self-care day, or give them the option to take a long a friend or partner with our Spa Day With Lunch For Two. Here, you can enjoy unlimited spa time all topped off with a delicious lunch.

Chase the winter blues away and buy someone special a ticket to ultimate relaxation with our range of Spa Days across the UK. Feel the heat of the sauna and the whirlwind of the steam room, and forget about the unpredictable weather going on outside. A day at the Spa won’t only warm you up from head to toe but also allow you to relax and rejuvenate in style.

• Delicious Dining Out Experiences

As we all struggle to shrug off the overindulgence at Christmas, remember Winter is all about discovering delicious food and sharing it with friends. If you’ve got a foodie on your hands, and are struggling with birthday gift ideas, we’d recommend treating them to our La Bibliotheque Brunch with Unlimited Cocktails & Prosecco. Not only will they get to sample plates of delicious food, but have cocktails and prosecco on tap - a perfect treat to celebrate a birthday! And all within the decadent vibes of La Bibliotheque, a Japanese-Mediterranean restaurant in East London.

Or, for a more quirky experience, we’d recommend gifting the Bustronome London Tour 4 Course Lunch, where you get to tour the capital on a luxury double decker bus whilst enjoying delicious food. With a panoramic dining room offering stunning views across the city, you can tuck into a decadent array of four courses, whilst chatting the hours away with your bestie or partner. If they love food and a bit of London sightseeing, this is the experience for them.

If they are a true foodie they might even want to have a go at honing their cookery skills. Nothing screams embracing Winter more than baking fresh loaves of bread. You can treat them to learning all about the art of the perfect loaf with our Bread Making Course available at three locations across the UK. Learn how to make focaccia to ciabatta, flatbreads to brioche, and even homemade pizzas in this incredible course designed to give you a lifelong love of bread making.

• Dive into Driving Experiences

Alternatively, it might be that you have more of an adrenaline junkie to buy a birthday gift for. We’d recommend checking out our newly launched VIP Driving Experience, where, for the first time ever, drivers can enjoy driving 3 miles in their chosen car, a high speed passenger ride in an Ariel Atom, and a professional photo package of your drives - which are all usually optional extras. If you’re buying for a petrol head, treat them to a drive of a lifetime, available at multiple iconic locations across the UK.

Or, it might be that they’re more into their Classic Cars. If they’d love to spend some time with some iconic vintage motors, then we have just the experience with our Four Classic Car Choice, giving drivers the chance to spend time with four cars from across the Atlantic. They can choose from a list including the 1968 Mini Cooper S, AC Cobra, Ford GT40, Lotus Cortina, Jaguar E Type, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Ford MK1 Escort RS or Volkswagen Golf GTI.

• Try a New Indoor Experience

Looking for a unique birthday gift that nobody else will have thought of that isn’t weather dependent? Enjoy the thrill of escape room scenarios, visual experiences and shooting games with our incredible Virtual Reality Premium Free Roaming Experience for Two in London.

Ideal as Gifts for Tech lovers or anyone who loves gaming or trying something new, suitable for two people or a group of four, this is a truly immersive experience which will take you away from everyday life to escape to another world. A wire free, indoor experience that will have you talking about it together for months to come - you can count on our VR Experience to be a unique gift idea as they come.
