Top Gift Experiences for Birthday Boys

Top Gift Experiences for Birthday Boys


By Phoebe Griffiths

If you have a birthday present to buy for a guy who needs a little fun in his life, let us come to the rescue with our helpful list of exciting birthday gift experiences for him! 

For those men who have seriously run out fun things to do at home during their third (yep, third) lockdown, it might be time to shake things up a bit when it comes to buying their next birthday present! Don’t worry though, we understand just how difficult it can be to find the perfect birthday gift for that difficult-to-buy-for-guy. Which is why it can be easy to fall back into old habits when it comes to buying gifts for men (trusty pair of designer socks, we’re looking at you). But we’re here to tell you it’s time...

Time to try a unique experience as a gift. Trust us, you won’t regret it! 

Here are our favourites, when it comes to super exciting birthday gift experiences for him:

Light a fire in his heart with BBQ cooking class online

The great outdoors, a roaring fire, juicy meat grilling - does this sound like something the birthday boy might like? If that’s a yes, then we have a unique virtual experience he’ll love receiving as his birthday present this year! 

When it comes to unique online cooking classes, you can’t beat a one-of-a-kind BBQ cooking class. It comes complete with a cooking kit filled with meat spices and rubs and is taught by an expert griller who shows his students how to get the perfect sizzle. For a man who enjoys feeling a gentle breeze as he cooks or appreciates the smokey scent of a BBQ grill, this is the online class for him. Whether you treat him to this virtual class on his birthday for some fun in the garden or simply give him an experience gift voucher so he can choose a time of his choice, he’ll love this exciting gift experience!

Whisk him off his feet with a whisky tasting online class and kit

If there’s one thing that makes a man feel like a man, it’s whisky (especially if they’re an avid watcher of Mad Men). So, if his favourite way to unwind is with a drop of the stiff-stuff, why not treat him to the ultimate whisky-lovers birthday gift experience? 

In a whisky tasting online class, he’ll take a virtual journey to Scotland to learn all about how the Scots do it before travelling onwards to America and then Japan to discover the different whisky (or whiskey) making processes around the world. He’ll get to sample rare malts and learn how to pick up complex tasting notes too. He’ll soon become the whisky connoisseur he’s always dreamed of becoming. We think this unique virtual experience is a tasty choice when it comes to choosing an exciting birthday gift experience for him!

Treat him to some relaxing DIY crafts with some pottery at home

Is your man never seen without his miscellaneous tools for his secret DIY projects (what is he building in that shed?)? Well, it might be time to lure him into the house with some crafty indoor activities - a pottery tool kit for his birthday might help you do just that.

What better way is there to kick back, relax and get creative than with some pottery at home? This unique birthday present will give him not only his own professional equipment but some expert online tuition too - which means he can learn how to create beautiful ceramics that he can enjoy using every day. 

This is the perfect birthday gift for guys who are creative but have found themselves lacking in time for their passion projects. With a virtual class, he’ll be able to carve out some time for himself to simply switch off, create and make. It’s also perfect for beginners as anyone can master homemade ceramics with the help of an expert teacher during an online class. If you are looking for some unique gifts for him that will help him unwind in a crafty and creative way, then this is just what you need to spoil him on his birthday!

Improve his iPhone photography skills with an exciting online class

Does the man you’re buying for love taking photos? Give him the chance to indulge this hobby with a smartphone photography class online. Whether he uses his new skills at his little nephew’s first birthday party or while he's travelling the world, he will love learning how to take and edit great photos on his phone!

A live online class in smartphone photography gives him the chance to learn how to use his phone camera better. He’ll be taught some basic editing skills, finding out all about composition, light and colour. Some online photography classes are even live-streamed from exotic places such as Sydney Opera House meaning that not only will he learn some cool new skills, but he’ll also enjoy a little sunny escapism too! If you want to give him a fun birthday present that will help him to up his smartphone photography game, then this is one of the best birthday gift experiences for him out there! 

Still looking for virtual birthday ideas? 

If you’re still stuck for birthday experiences for him, why not opt for a more flexible gift experience voucher? That way, he can choose the perfect online class, DIY kit or virtual experience from our unique selection. He’ll be spoilt for choice!
