How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Let’s Get Creative This Christmas! – $100 Breakaway GC Giveaway

in Everyday on 12/02/20

The following is a sponsored post.

Are you like me and struggling to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list?  I pride myself on not just giving the same old sweater or socks (not that there’s anything wrong with that)…but on finding a gift that will bring a smile, some true joy to the recipient.  It really is better to give than to receive, right?  That’s why I’m once again proud to be able to highlight some incredible ideas form Breakaway Experiences.  You can shop from the comfort of your couch, find a little something fabulous for everyone on your list and the best thing ever…give a gift they will remember!

Here’s  whatI love:

  • They offer a huge variety of gifts you can sift through and choose from – all from cities near you.
  • COVID-19 has made this a very challenging year for everyone, the experience providers have worked hard and adapted their experiences to be as safe as possible for both the public and their employees..
  • The experience that are open and available are experiences that do not involve crowding together. Each company has adapted their activities to keep people as distanced as much as possible. Often tours and activities are limited to your covid bubble within the immediate area, along with staff sanitizing and being vetted daily for symptoms. Think experiences like Hot Air Balloon rides, Clue Solving Adventures and racing cars!

Here’s what I know:

  • Breakaway Experiences has embraced the ever-growing popularity of “once-in-a-lifetime” and “bucket list” experiences.  They offer certificates for a remarkable variety of unique experiences—from luxurious spa packages and gourmet food tours to the more adventurous experiences like stock car racing, helicopter flying lessons and sea doo expeditions.
  • Did you leave your shopping to the last minute? Don’t worry.  With Breakaway Experiences you have access to Instant Gifting. You can buy their present any time of day and instantly print it up to put in a card or simply email them.
  • Truly stuck for what to buy that loved one?  You can direct that person to the Breakaway Experience website and have them create a Christmas Wish List for the things they really want.
  • Certificates to Breakaway Experiences never expire.  This is more important this year than ever before.
  • Still not sure what your loved one would enjoy?  That’s okay!  Breakaway Experiences offers a hassle-free exchange policy, and they can simply trade it for the full value of the original certificate.

Here are some fabulous ideas!

Play-at-Home Clue Solving Adventures – The Brotherhood Mystery – This unique scavenger hunt style, clue solving adventure is perfect for the problem solver in your hour and you can do it  AT HOME with friends.
