So buying for your boyfriend can always be difficult, especially if you haven't been together for very long so this weekend when it was my boyfriend of just over 4 months 20th birthday I had trouble thinking of what to buy him.
Now I know this doesn't apply for all men but Jack in particular is obsessed with cars and when he mentioned in passing that he had always wanted to treat himself to a track day but had never got round to it the lightbulb went off in my head and I suddenly realised I now had the perfect present idea.
Having never bought an experience day before I wanted to make sure I had done my research as well as getting the best deal. (poor student and all) after browsing the most popular driving experiences and the best sites, I discovered Virgin Experience Days and Asda Experience Days not only had the best reviews but the best prices and deals.
After having finally decided that I wanted to buy him the Super Car Thrill with high speed passenger ride and settled on buying it from asda, a package at almost half the original price the asda experience was a tenner cheaper but for an extra £6.50 the present would be presented in a tin gift box (always nice to keep) with a personalised message on the voucher itself (cute added extra) the asda package also had a deal on the side that gave you free postage (always a bonus)
MONEYSAVING TOP TIP: if you find an experience day that's cheaper on virgin experiences I would recommend creating an account and putting it in the basket and then leave it there and wait, as I had done this and the two days following I received emails offering me 25% off the package I had in my basket (Y)
When the present came the next day I was extremely impressed, not only with the speedy delivery but the quality of the present (sounds silly since its only a voucher) but when he opened it I know I had done good and he was over the moon, spending the rest of the day smiling and constantly telling me its the best birthday he's ever had I felt proud knowing I'd helped contribute to this!!
Amazing weekend full of smiles, cake and far too much food and alcohol :P

Have any of you ever bought an experience day?? Let me know about you're experiences and how the actual day went and I'll let you know how it goes too :)
