Valentines day will soon be here and it’s time to start thinking about a great gift for that special someone.

There’s a UK based company called Red Letter Days that specializes in providing special gifts in the form of an experience day. Now, an experience day is not only for Valentines, but since that’s the closest special holiday where we tend to pamper those we love I think it’s worth checking out.

Red Letter Days has an assortment of very special experience days that would make perfect valentines day gifts for him or for her.

You can gift the gift of a special experience day to your loved one in a variety of ways. There are special driving, adventure, pampering, flying, culture, gourmet, lifestyle, sports, wildlife and water related experience days. There are also special experience days for couples, and even junior experience days for kids.

Considering that Red Letter Days has such a variety of special experience days to choose from you should be able to give your loved one a dream experience.

As an example, if you wanted to get a special gift for your husband you might want to check out the activity gifts section. Perhaps the gift of a Ferrari or Aston Martin driving experience day might thrill him. Among the many experiences you’ll find body flying, Tandem Skydiving, tank driving, North pole fly in, the sports car thrill and many more.

There’s even an experience called the Yippee Ki Yay Action Day which sounds like it’s right out of Die Hard:

* Live Free or DIE HARD!
* Your mission is to play at being John McClane for the day
* Receive specialist instruction in evasive driving, weapons training and unarmed combat
* Like the movie, there’s even a helicopter rescue element in the final showdown
* Refreshments and safety equipment all included

For the ladies one might consider the Urban Spa Ritual, Mosimann’s Academy, a recording studio experience, An Italian Cookery Masterclass, Topshop VIP Experience, Makeover, Photoshoot and Four Prints, massage, chocolate wrap and several other luxury experiences.

You can use the personal gift finder to help you pick out the perfect gift for your loved one, or you can simply browse through the categories as I’ve done until you find something that sounds just right. If you can’t decide you can always purchase a gift card so that your special someone can decide on their own special experience.

Many of the experiences are located in the UK, but there are others that are located in other parts of the world such as Norway or Asia so I think that the site is worth checking out no matter where you happen to live.
