AVAILABLE IN MOST MAJOR CITIES IN THE U.S.

Truth be told, there are many experience gift companies in the U.S. And, they offer more than 5,000 experiences nationwide. These experiences range from Ferrari racing, and dinner cruises to spa packages, city tours, hot air balloon rides, and much more.

As a result, experience gifts are becoming increasingly popular for anything from birthday or holiday gifts to corporate gifts and rewards. And, experience gifts companies fill an expanding segment of the $280+ billion gift industry.

And, of course,  it has to fit into your budget. Since most people do not go on excursions alone, you should purchase at least two tickets. You may volunteer to accompany the person or provide them with an extra ticket for a loved one.

HERE ARE SOME GREAT EXPERIENCE GIFTS FOR MEN:

So, how do we get away from giving or receiving the same old gifts; sweaters, ties, socks or even handmade gifts? 

One way to get away from the ‘hoohum’ boring gifts of the past is to give an ‘experience’ gift. Keep in mind that most of these events are available in most major cities in the United States. Here are what just a few of these gifts include:

ONBOARD MUSIC:

First of all, you will experience the soothing sounds of music floating from the ship’s baby grand piano to set the perfect ambiance for an elegant meal. Your wait staff will come around with beverages you may wish to order from the cash bar. Then, there is the three courses for you to indulge in, ranging from savory to sweet on this delectable New York cruise.

Start with a salad, move on to a mouthwatering glazed chicken entrée with potatoes and chives. Then tantalize your taste buds with a slice of New York cheesecake. Sip a cocktail, coffee or tea while listening to the live entertainment with your party.

Certainly, your Gourmet Sightseeing Lunch Cruise wouldn’t be complete without a stroll or two outside. Soak up some sunshine and unrivaled NYC sightseeing from the water while gently gliding past the city’s most celebrated landmarks.

Finally, you can capture unforgettable moments on camera as the brilliant NYC skyscrapers provide you the perfect backdrop! And, enjoy a unique perspective of New York attractions like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Colgate Clock, Battery Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and more.
