Happy gifting!

1. Classic Car Driving Experience

Is your grandad a classic car enthusiast? Treat him to a lovely day out where he can enjoy a three-mile spin in the Shelby Cobra, Aston Martin DB5, Jaguar E-Type, Ford GT40, Mustang 350, Mini Cooper, or perhaps the MK1 Escort. When booking, he’ll have the choice to pick from a fantastic range of models and even upgrade his vehicle, venue or to a weekend date for an additional fee.

2. Steam Train Ride on the East Somerset Railway with Cream Tea in the Whistlestop Cafe for Two

Gift your grandparents the feeling of nostalgia with a magnificent steam train ride on the 150-year-old East Somerset Railway. This ticket-for-two experience includes all-day travel on the historic line with gorgeous views of the countryside from Cranmore to Mendip Vale station and back. 

3. Visit to Kew Gardens and Palace for Two

A World Heritage Site and a top UK attraction, a visit to the Kew Gardens makes for the perfect Christmas present. Your grandparents are sure to enjoy the tropical rainforest set inside the Palm House where temperatures reach a balmy 27°C. 

4. Gin and Whisky Tour with Tasting at The Cotswolds Distillery

For those with a taste for the finer things, a gin and whisky tasting tour is an ideal Christmas gift. It includes a guided tour of the distillery for two people, plus a tutored tasting session of all the distillery's products to finish where the recipient can try award-winning English gin and single malt whisky.

Ideal for grandparents who deserve a pamper, this luxurious spa day experience at Verulamium Spa included full access to the spa facilities like the steam room, hydro spa pool, sauna and relaxation area. It also includes a 25-minute treatment for each of them to unwind, relax and rejuvenate which they are sure to enjoy. 

6. 3 Month Premium Subscription to the Little Rum Box

Imagine giving your grandparents a gift that they can enjoy not once, not twice but THRICE! Each month when they receive three 50ml bottles of artisan rum paired with recommended garnishes, they will surely thank you for such a thoughtful gift. 

7. English Heritage Annual Pass for One - Up to Six Kids Go Free

For grandparents who love to explore, the English Heritage Annual Pass is an ideal gift that allows them to spend quality time with their grandchildren. This experience gift is one of the most loved budget-friendly options offering unlimited access to over 400 historic places across the UK. You can even choose to double up for both your grandparents to enjoy these walks together.

8. WW2 Spitfire and Messerschmitt Flight Simulator Experience for Two

Share this rare experience with your grandparent if you think they’d love the thrill of a WW2 Spitfire. This isn’t your standard arcade simulator game, but an actual replica of the Spitfire and Messerschmitt cockpits with responsive controls and high-tech graphics to fully reflect what it would be like to fly these incredible aircraft. This adventurous experience is a good choice for grandparents with limited mobility. 

9. One Night Glamping Break for Two

For grandparents who love to explore the outdoors but deserve a premium experience, a glamping experience gift is the way to go. With over 15 locations to choose from across the UK, they can enjoy a night of stargazing without the hassle of pitching a tent or worrying about the rain. 

10. Sunday Roast for Two at a Gordon Ramsay Restaurant

Who doesn’t love a Sunday Roast! And it’s even better when served at one of chef Gordan Ramsey’s iconic restaurants where they’ll enjoy a choice of chicken, pork and sirloin rare breed beef (vegan options are available) paired with seasonal sides, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and of course, plenty of gravy. Whether you share this experience for two with one of your grandparents or book it for them to share, this roast made with the finest regional produce is a sure hit. 

11. Shakespeare’s Globe Guided Tour for Two

If your grandparents are theatre enthusiasts, a guided tour of the historic Shakespeare's Globe is a great experience for them to share. The tour will really familiarise them with Shakespeare’s world, life, London and its theatre scene.
