Summer Birthday Gift Ideas
Summer is the season of grilling and relaxing by the water. For those with summer birthdays, it’s the perfect time to celebrate another year by spending it outside under the sunshine. With their birthday already during the best time of year, what do you get someone with a summer birthday to make it even more special?
We’ve pulled together a list of our favorite ideas for summer birthday gifts. Perfect for him or her, our gift ideas will let them experience something new while having a great time.
Take Them Skydiving
There are very few experiences in life that engage all of your senses to the max like skydiving. By giving a skydiving trip as a birthday gift, you’ll let the recipient feel the rush of free falling from thousands of feet in the sky before deploying the chute and silently gliding back down to earth. When they’re that high up the air is a little cooler, too making it a great gift to give during the summer.
If you’re looking for something a little milder, you can even go with an indoor skydiving experience. The feelings they get will be similar and it won’t require leaping from a perfectly capable plane. This is a great experience to share with multiple people as you can watch each other enter the skydiving chamber and float around.
Book a Luxury Hotel Weekend Getaway
Book a birthday weekend for your friend at a local luxury hotel and let them experience another side of their city. It’s a great way to get away from home without actually going far and the service a hotel provides means their birthday weekend will be a relaxing affair. And since its summer, they’ll be able to spend the day by the pool then head to the bar for a drink after as the sun sets.
Head Out on a Dinner Cruise
Let them watch the sunset after a perfect day with a dinner cruise from Virgin Experience Gifts. Your recipient will get wined and dined on the water and will be able to sample delicious cuisine and enjoy the evenings entertainment all while enjoying the gorgeous waterfront scenery.
