My son has always been part of the cadet force at school and is very keen on all things outdoor and challenging. With that in mind thought this Buyagift experience would be perfect for him. He had a great time and tells me he learnt a lot of 'cool' stuff. although of course I hope he never has to use any of it!

I like how unusual some of your experiences are and chose the weekend survivial course for a friend. He came back spouting loads of thigns about building shelters and how to make a fire. From the sounds of things he really enjoyed himself.
