We’ve officially reached the final countdown to Father’s Day, which falls this Sunday (June 21). So, if you still haven’t sorted a gift for the dad in your life, now’s the time to get cracking.
Of course, leaving it this late comes with its challenges. There are postage deadlines to navigate when shopping online (unless you’re willing to pay for next-day delivery or you’re an Amazon Prime member), meaning there’s every chance your package won’t arrive in time. And if your dad is anything like mine, buying for him can feel almost impossible because he always insists he doesn’t need anything new.
That’s where gifting an experience comes into its own. There’s no waiting around for deliveries, no worrying about missed deadlines, and best of all, you’re giving something that can create memories to last a lifetime.
Virgin Experience Days sells gift vouchers and packages for more than 4,000 activities, dining experiences and short getaways. Recipients can browse the platform, choose an activity, and use their voucher to pay or reserve their spot. Better still, for a limited time in the lead-up to Father’s Day, they’re offering up to 80% off the price of some of their most popular experiences.
Whether you’re shopping for your dad, partner, grandad, uncle, step-dad or another father figure in your life, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. Among the standout experiences are supercar driving days, classic car driving experiences, unlimited sushi dining and relaxing spa days. Savings do vary depending on the experience, though.
It’s all pretty straightforward. You pay for the experience you want, and the voucher along with all the details lands in your inbox. If you’re feeling generous, you can send it straight to someone else as a gift too—perfect for birthdays or surprises. After that, it’s simply a case of checking the details, booking your date, and getting ready for the day out.
