Experiences make for great gifts, not to mention can be fairly easy to organise if you’ve left it to the last minute. Grab a RedBalloon voucher with either the specific experience or a value you decide. Experiences include everything from animal encounters and adventure sports, to fine dining lunches and scenic cruises. Vouchers are valid for five years.
Birth Chart Reading
Whether your loved one is into astrology or not, they’ll likely be interested in what a one-on-one session with an expert astrologer will tell them about their life. Book them a 90-minute online reading, $200, with Alex at Lusid who will help them understand their personal cosmic journey.
Tiny House Stay
Tiny houses make for great getaways for wired folks, so if that description fits one of your loved ones, consider getting them a stay. Unyoked offer tiny homes all around Australia, some without phone reception and some even pet-friendly. Get your giftee a ‘prescription to the wilderness’ gift card with your choice of value and an add-on of a ‘remedy kit’.
Designer Dinnerware
While this gift idea does require you to leave the house to buy in-person (purchasing online might be too risky) and requires you to be in or visit Sydney, it’s still worth noting because it makes for some pretty quality presents.
