Remember Getting Vouchers For Your Birthday?
Everybody remembers getting vouchers for their birthday or at Christmas. Whether it was Marks and Spencer, Next or perhaps your buyer was a little more generous and gave you HMV or Game vouchers!
Store vouchers always seemed to be the present people bought who really didn’t know what to get but had a vague idea of the recipients interests. It was a little better than writing out a cheque or giving cash as the buyer had to walk into a store and purchase the vouchers, however they did/do restrict the recipient to that store and their products.
The good news is there is a great way to give vouchers that are both meaningful, special and put a huge smile on the recipients face.
I am talking about vouchers for experience days from companies such as Red Letter Days or Virgin Experience Days.
With an ever growing list of things to do for males and females of any age and of any interests this makes the perfect present. The best part of all is that if they cannot find any suitable experiences (you would be hard pushed!) then vouchers can be exchanged for gifts such as Blu Ray players, watches etc (whatever the voucher is worth).
You can not go wrong with giving experience day vouchers for a 21st birthday!

A Gift For Girls Who Love Shopping
One of our most popular gift ideas has to be our VIP Personal Shopper Experience. If your girlfriend or daughter loves shopping then this experience of a lifetime will have her bursting with happiness.
Ok here's the not so good bit... it's quite expensive, but worth every penny. The lucky 21 year old will receive the following:
- £950 worth of House Of Fraser vouchers
- A fantastic makeover from an experienced stylist
- A personal shopping consultant to pick out the clothes to suit her best
Upon arrival at the store, she will be greeted by her stylist and over a nice cup of tea or coffee will discuss the kind of clothes and colours she is into. Then it is up to the stylist to explore the store looking for perfect clothes for her while she puts her feet up.
What a brilliant and memorable gift for your 21st birthday, especially if you love shopping and clothes!
For more information or to purchase this gift click here.
If you like the sound of this, but the VIP version is a little pricey, then have a look at these shopping experiences for a couple more options.

Ultimate 21st Birthday Experience
At the weekend I went to a local airfield to watch one of my colleagues doing a tandem skydive for charity and I have to say it has made me really want to do one. It looks absolutely mindblowing and I thought it would be a great idea for a 21st birthday, a really memorable experience that you would be telling people about for years to come.
The typical day starts off with a training/safety session. Once you have completed this you will simply wait for your name to be called before boarding the skydivers plane with your instructor. Just make sure you don't worry as you will be strapped to them with four rock solid clamps (one of which is enough to hold you) and they are experts in this field doing several jumps a day.
If you really want to make it a day to remember you can purchase a DVD of your entire journey. Just watching the video of my colleague doing a somersault from 10,000 ft in the sky was sensational.
I am not really one to talk as I have not had the pleasure of tandem skydiving yet, but watch this space; I cannot wait until my chance arrives. Will have to wait until my next big birthday. Sigh...
If you are lucky enough to have been bought this experience or you are thinking of buying for a friend or family member then please make sure you send us your write up for others to see!
Attatched is a promotional video clip brought to you by Red Letter Days who after searching around I have come to the conclusion have the best value for money on this experience.

21st Birthday Gifts Finder
Some of you may have noticed a new section has been subtly added to the menu (under gifts). It is described as 'Gift Finder' and is a new project I have been working on (probably why I haven't posted here for a while).
The idea is that you will be able to enter some criteria and find gifts for all ages, tastes etc. It has been launched as a beta for now while traffic data is gathered, searches are performed and more products are added.
Please feel free to check out the gift finder and report any feedback to info@seekgifts.co.uk.
Many thanks

21st Birthday Presents
Knowing what present to get your recipient for their 21st birthday is always something that needs a lot of thought, especially as it is considered by many to be the most important milestone birthday there is.
There are two main presents choices for you to go for which are both outlined clearly throughout our website and these are 21st birthday gifts / presents or experiences.
It all depends on the person you are buying for, what do you think they would prefer. Are they the type of person who would treasure the memory forever and rather experience something new and exciting for their birthday such as a supercar trackday or a makeover? Or are they the sort of person that would like to receive a special gift such as jewellery, signed memorabilia or the latest console games.
Just remember, whatever you decide to get them, make sure you accompany it with a nice memorable card and a big 21st birthday balloon or badge to take out on their celebrations.

Dead Fred Pen Holder
I always thought these were really cool but they were always sold out wherever I looked; however on my travels to Bluewater the other day I saw a whole batch of them in the G4 gadget shop and had to buy one!
They are a really cool little gadget for anyone that doesn't take life too seriously. Mine is currently residing on my desk at work and it is a really good finishing touch.
There is a whole collection too! Some of you may have seen the Voodoo Knife Block in our gifts for him section and there is also 'Splat Stanley' mug holder.

Newspaper From The Day You Were Born
Have you ever wondered what was happening in the world on the day you were born? Well help is at hand with this brilliant gift idea.
Newspapers are available from every day within the last 100 years that have been carefully stored and protected to reach you in perfect condition.
For £39 (expensive but worth it!) you can grab yourself a real newspaper from your date of birth. I think that is an incredible price considering it had been preserved for 21 years in most readers of this blogs cases. It would make a brilliant and very memorable cherishable gift for family, loved ones and friends.
Grab a newspaper from your date of birth now!

Retro/Unique/Fun Gifts & More!
I found a really cool newly launched web site/shop the other day whilst doing my evening browsing called 'Rock The Kitchsbar'.They specialise in retro, unique, fun and novelty gifts for all occasions.
Some of their most unique items are bizarre hats you can buy such as Lobster hats. Other cool types of gifts include a triple tea cup (pictured right) and a Snoop Dogg bath duck!
One ultra impressive feature about the Rock The Kitschbar website is that while you browse you can listen to their Jukebox; most distinctively tracks from Monthy Python's Spamalot.
