Let’s face it. Buying a gift for a man - whether he’s your dad, your husband, your boyfriend, or your brother who still owes you twenty quid - is often an uninspired trudge through whisky sets, novelty socks, and the creeping existential dread of being utterly predictable. But this year? You’re not just giving him something. You’re giving him something to remember. Something with a thumping engine, airborne adrenaline, paint-splattered glory, or bao buns that make his eyes roll back in ecstasy. This year, you’re giving him a story.
For the Man Who Dreams in Horsepower
If his ideal Sunday involves polishing alloys and casually listing torque figures over breakfast, then give him the chance to stop talking about horsepower and actually feel it. The Triple Supercar Drive is petrol-soaked perfection. He’ll grip the wheel of three elite machines - Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin - and tear up the tarmac like he’s auditioning for a job as The Stig. It’s a day out with bite, and possibly the only time you’ll see him speechless without the help of a dentist.
Or, if he fancies himself a bit more tuxedo than tracksuit, gift him the James Bond Triple Drive. He’ll commandeer three Aston Martins - including a vintage ’75 Vantage - and then sit white-knuckled while a professional takes him on a high-speed passenger ride that will make his martini shake itself.
For the Strategist with a Trigger Finger
Not every man wants to flirt with G-forces. Some just want to embrace their inner action hero and charge into organised chaos. Cue the Paintballing for Four. With rapid-fire weaponry, themed missions, and enough testosterone to sink a battleship, this is perfect for the man who enjoys bonding by shooting his friends in the back. It’s loud, messy, ridiculous - and he’ll love every muddy, splattered second of it.
For the Bloke Who’d Marry a Sandwich if Society Allowed It
He’s the sort who arranges his Sunday roast like an art installation. He has Opinions about condiments. He follows chefs on Instagram like other men follow footballers. This man doesn’t want a steak dinner. He wants an edible adventure. Send him to the Bao and Craft Beer Experience, where he’ll learn to craft cloud-soft bao buns and spicy sides, all paired with two glorious craft beers.
It’s dinner with a delicious subplot - hands-on, tipsy, and unashamedly indulgent. And when he recreates it at home, you’ll reap the rewards. That’s not just a gift; it’s an investment.
For the Man Who’s Always Wanted to Fly (But Can’t Stand Airports)
Forget delayed flights and overpriced Pringles. If he’s ever dreamed of flying but shudders at the thought of Gatwick North, send him to the wind tunnel instead. The Indoor Skydiving for Two with iFLY delivers full-throttle airborne exhilaration without so much as a boarding pass. It’s the rush of freefall without the terror of jumping out of a plane, making it ideal for thrill-seekers with a cautious streak (or simply an aversion to Ryanair).
This one’s a proper conversation piece. One minute he’s floating like Superman, the next he’s raving about “body flight dynamics” over dinner. You’ll never hear the end of it - and that’s half the point.
For the Man with a Big Birthday and Even Bigger Expectations
Milestone birthdays demand more than a lukewarm pub lunch and a golf voucher. Whether it’s 30, 40, or that increasingly bold 50, give him something he’ll actually talk about at the party. The kind of day that makes him feel less “half a century old” and more “action movie protagonist.”
The Triple Supercar Drive or James Bond experience? That’s power and glamour. The indoor skydiving? That’s gravity-defying bravado. Even the paintball war games scream “I’ve still got it.” These aren’t just gifts - they’re declarations of vitality, cunningly disguised as fun.
Still Not Sure? Here’s the Cheat Sheet
- Speed demon? Triple Supercar Drive or James Bond Triple Drive.
- Loves controlled chaos? Paintballing for Four.
- Gourmet with good taste? Bao and Craft Beer Experience.
- Thrill-curious but plane-averse? Indoor Skydiving at iFLY.
- Milestone birthday approaching? Any of the above, with a smug card.
Don’t Just Give a Gift - Give a Story
He won’t remember the jumper. He might remember the whisky, if he doesn’t drink it all at once. But he will remember the time he floated mid-air, blazed around a racetrack, or emerged from battle paint-splattered and triumphant. That’s the thing about experience gifts - they live longer than objects. They get retold, rehashed, and exaggerated gloriously over time.
So go on - be the person who gets it right. Who gives the gift that’s talked about, not tucked away. Whether he’s family, lover, or the friend who helped you move house without asking why you own so many books - he deserves something memorable. Click, book, and prepare to bask in the glow of “best gift ever” status.
