Experience Days | 
01 28th, 2010| 
With Valentines day just round the corner, you might be thinking of how to give that someone special a memorable gift to mark this day for lovers.
Experience days are both unique, memorable and you can be sure to find something for just about anyone!
Thinking about getting your loved one a giant bouquet of flowers, or a big box of Belgian chocolates? Although nice, these gifts are probably what she got last year, and the previous years! Instead, you really want to be offering your lover an experience that she will never forget, and that you can enjoy together – as you should be on St Valentines Day.
Belgian chocolates? How about a chocolate making course, where you will learn how the best chocolates in the world are made, and get to taste the most fantastic melted chocolate from a fountain, before getting to make chocolates yourselves? Getting flowers? Try instead a picnic at Key Gardens, or at Buckingham Palace to live like a King and Queen for a day.
There are many experience days available which will make memorable Valentines Day presents, including ice climbing, champagne hot air balloon rides over the UK, pleasure flights in helicopters and planes over London, or even a cookery masterclass with one of London’s top chefs.
So tired of the usual gifts on display in the shops? Check out our list of 10 of the best experience days to give this Valentines Day which will really make your lover smile and provide a memorable experience for the both of you.
