Your friend’s birthday is fast approaching. You have lost count of the giggles and the number of times he has returned the favor to you. You hope to show him that you care about him/her. But come to the choice of the gift , you just remember that he has already obtained the latest Call of Duty or that she was tired of receiving candles, diaries and other jewelry…
Do not panic ! We have concocted a little guide of tips and unusual gift ideas.
A little trick for having unusual gift ideas that always please: take notes when an idea comes to your mind or when during a conversation you realize that your friend wants or needs something. You will always have an idea at hand.
For large gifts, consider making a common pot.
Among the unusual gifts, think of an original activity
A tangible gift is good, it keeps for a while. Spending time together, bringing an experience to life, it goes through time. Block a time slot in the afternoon or evening for an outing with the whole clique.
1. The restaurant
Rather quiet in a distinguished restaurant or challenge yourself with ax throwing?
You are not a cordon bleu and do not want to involve a caterer. Book a restaurant , the pleasures of the palate are universal!
Some restaurants offer birthday packages, find out!
Big eaters, do not limit yourself to a single main course, the all-you-can-eat buffets will suit you perfectly.
For your exceptional friend, nothing beats an exceptional restaurant. If you are looking for impeccable service, majestic decor, distinguished dishes, you should book at Le Train bleu , housed at the Gare du Lyon in Paris, this gastronomic restaurant in neo-baroque and Belle Epoque style is at the height of finesse.
2. The amusement park
Exceptional shows at Puy du Fou, we find the same atmosphere at Les Cognées
Amusement parks are the place dedicated to fun, here there is no risk of getting bored!
The Puy du Fou needs no introduction , moving shows, sensational waterfalls, breathtaking special effects… It’s not for nothing that it is voted the best amusement park in the world! Live history at its highlights alongside your friends!.
3. Physical activity
Your friend and his guests are competitors, no way to do a ping pong chill. Then physical activities will be your favorite outings.
ways to play Mario Kart IRL: buy Mario Kart Live, or ride a real kart. On the track in the gova, let’s go for the exhilarating sensations of speed!
Tree trunks as a target, wood chips scattered on the ground, no doubt, you are in an ax throwing center. A relatively democratized sport on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, it already has quite a few followers in France, as evidenced by the many centers that have appeared in recent years. But the best remains that of the Cognées in all objectivity Come and plant the ax in the target, we don’t suspect the satisfaction it gives!
More classic, but not less fun, paintball! If you prefer camping behind obstacles, stalking your friends and attacking, you will find what you are looking for at Paradise paintball !
4. Offer an unusual experience
Still in the idea of a “gift that doesn’t gather dust”, you can offer your friend an experience that he can “consume” whenever he wants. All you have to do is offer him a gift voucher in the chosen activity or a subscription to a Wonderbox -type gift box ! Although you offer an experience to your friend, nothing prevents you from sharing it with you!
5. A lesson
In front of The Voice, your friend envies the candidates, you are convinced that he or she has a crystalline voice or, on the contrary, you are trying to convey the message to him that concerts in the shower are not successful for him, register him / to a singing lesson!
There are a multitude of courses for all tastes. Some classes offer a free first session, perfect to find out if it suits him!
Does he or she want to learn about nutrition, DIY or photography? You’ll also find online courses at great prices on Udemy .
6. A trip
Night in a cozy cabin, view of a magnificent starry sky
If holidays often rhyme with travel, there is a reason. Going abroad (or staying in France, there are plenty of things to see in France!) is ideal for taking your mind off things. Let your friend choose their destination or surprise them with a bold destination, do as you please.
If you are not convinced that travel is the perfect gift, take a look at this very cool article 😉
For more of a change of scenery, spend the night in a yurt, an igloo or any other atypical habitat with Abracadaroom .
