Gift Experiences

Hi im looking at buying a driving experience for xmas pressie. I have seen some on Virgin, and also they seem to be reasonable on lastminute.com, if anyone has any suggestions to where else they may be cheap, or any codes for last minute that would be great.

Thanks In advance

    ive always found it cheaper to go direct to the company who run the driving days, rather than going through the 'gift experience' companies

    a quick search, should bring up any track day/rally companies

    Extra points are available on Gift Experiences at Boots.
    There's also a code posted for free extra points too
    I haven't got one!

    A Friend of mine had a Gift Experience for a Helicopter ride which I believe cost around £80. When she got there the same Helicopter ride was £40. So definately check the prices at the venue!

  • my friend had the rally drive experience last year, he got back home and told his wife it was a rip off, he was expecting 3 hours driving, but actually got 30 minutes behind the wheel as it was a car of 3 passengers.

    As a recipient of the venture picture experience, I would say to my mother in law, thanks a blodee bunch, it cost a fortune !!!!! not the greatst of gifts, as you ed up buying the pics on top of the hour session.
  • Do you know if you can use the codes on the boots experiences, i think i may just stick to a pampering one by the sounds?

    yes, if you use the code DDAD66 you will get an extra 1000 points plus the extra you get at the moment when buying a gift experience (Don't know how long the code lasts for. Originally posted in "Discounts")

    I go with the others on this. My husband always books direct and you get it much, much cheaper.
  • Sorry to sound thick but how much are the boots points worth, say for instance what is the value of 1000 point?

    Thanks
