“
I am the sort of person who opens their Christmas present last. Nothing is nicer than anticipating something wonderful. Anticipation – we’d bottle it if we could. That’s why Virgin Experience Days gifts ooze anticipation. Planning and looking forward to doing something different with people you love to share things with is all part of the experience. And you can bask in the fuzzy festive glow of knowing you’ve picked the perfect gift. The Virgin spirit of fun and passion runs through our pick of the very best experience gifts. From our first loves of flying lessons and track days, to our current collection, made up of countless possible ways to delight those special people on your Christmas list. We’re talking gourmet masterclasses, football stadium tours, afternoon tea treats, spa days as well as some amazing events at top UK locations. We hope you enjoy our fun approach to the season.
Happy holidays!
