Unusual & Unique Birthday Gifts

The day out was great in all respects. But we had been given a gift and could choose anything up to the gift price. We knew we had to buy the experience before Sunday, but thought, due to all the BuyaGift pages saying, 'valid for a year', that once noted it was valid for a year. No. The experience had to be taken by the expiry date too and that's not made clear enough. Luckily we had decided to do it now so did not lose out. It costs £20 to extend the voucher. So I'd say, don't bother with an open voucher that can be used for anything, get the experience itself. Added to which, I was emailed a load of cheaper offers for the same experience but couldn't use them as I had been given a gift voucher. It was all a bit frustrating, but the day out, seeing the animals and tea were great.

A most enjoyable evening in a top class restaurant, with very attentive service

This was a gift for our sons 12th birthday which had us as a family laughing the entire course! Highly recommend as an activity that the entire family, whatever the age, can really enjoy

Really enjoyed this experience. It was so fascinating how they recreate the scene to how it comes across on the TV, the guide was very informative and knowledgeable, thoroughly enjoyed it

I bought this experience as a Christmas gift for my 2 nephews and their partners. They really enjoyed it

The gentleman that walked us down to the afternoon tea entrance was very friendly and informative, then the Afternoon tea itself was detailed and very delicious and we were even given more of our favourite and we get to take the rest home, the service was excellent

Great day, the kids and the adults had a fantastic time. Staff were lovely too :)

Honestly, this was fantastic. All of our small group loved every minute. The meal was nice but the spectacle was just brilliant. Great actors and too many laughs.

My 13-year-old and I had an amazing time on the meerkat experience. We went into three different enclosures where the meerkats climbed on us, sat on us and we got to feed them. We were really lucky as in the last enclosure there were three babies (6 wks) who also climbed on us and wanted lots of snuggles. Our guide was Charlotte who was fab and very knowledgeable. The actual zoo is great too with lots of different animals to see and some to handfeed as well. Definitely recommend this experience gift, and Hoo Zoo

Food was excellent. Staff friendly and professional. Great atmosphere. Excellent toilets.

We always use our buy a gift vouchers in the school holidays to spread costs. We had a great time at York Birds of Prey Centre. It's so hands on and you get really close to some magnificent birds

Amazing food and wines on a beautiful and historical train
