What do you give the partner, who – in a legitimate or feigned bid against materialism and ‘not needing anything’ – forbids you from buying them a gift for Valentine’s Day? You work the activity gift-loophole.
Whether they’re partial to a wine and dine or they’re keen to add flying a plane to their resume, there’s an experience gift for every epicurean.
From a candlelit string quartets performance to a five-course fine dining meal, read on for our curated edit of luxury experience gifts bound to leave an impression this February 14th.
6 experience gifts for Valentine’s Day
6head dinner for two
Valentine’s Day set menu, from $220pp at 6Head
Book in for some quality time over a five course menu at 6Head in the historic Rocks precinct of Sydney Harbour or Perth’s Esplanade. Featuring scallop crudo, yuzu and pistachio mousse, and premium cuts of beef and burrata, this dining experience is one for the gourmand.
fever up candlelit concert
alana maria soldered bracelet
Voucher for Alana Maria’s Forever bracelet appointment, from $100 at Alana Maria
They say nothing is forever but tell that to this permanent Alana Maria bracelet soldered onto your wrist or ankle with a state of the art jewellery welder. The Sydney Northern Beaches brand offers 14k gold-filled or 925 sterling silver chains in its Forever bracelet – making for an experience gift that defies ephemerality.
seaplane flight
Seaplane flight with three course lunch for two, $900 at RedBalloon
To really set that heart aflutter, gift them a seaplane flight over Bondi and Sydney Harbour. After landing, take in the Rose Bay views over Tasmanian wine and a three course lunch at Empire Lounge.
airbnb experience gift
A weekend away booked via Airbnb
For the person who’s in need of some time out of the big smoke, why not gift a weekend away? With summer days still enduring, it’s an ideal time to book an Airbnb somewhere off the beaten track in Victoria, New South Wales (such as Kangaroo Valley or Byron Bay) or the Gold Coast, perhaps.
endota spa gift voucher
The Freedom Gift card, $25-$2000 at Endota Spa
For the partner who could do with a bit of R&R, treat them to a spa voucher. This Endota Spa one could gift them with a botanical-infused signature facial, a remedial massage or other treatments; after all, a bit of pampering never went astray.
