As the title says really; how do you give experiences when they are given as a gift?

I'm sure there are lots of ingenious ways but I'm not very creative!

If context helps - I'm planning on giving concert tickets and a family festival camping trip 🤞

We did fancy looking vouchers with the tickets attached.
Sometimes we get a small physical thing like a Disney toy for Disneyland, Harry Potter top for the studio tour, set of glasses for a Gin tour etc.

We hid the voucher in a box and the recipient had to dig it out of packing peanuts (not recommended if it's unwrapped when several others are also unwrapping presents, the stuff was everywhere, works better on a birthday present).

Can you get something for the camping trip? Useful but maybe a joke?

Festival/camping you could wrap up the tickets with some nice enamel camping mugs. Or make a mini tent or teepee and put them in there. Or you could get some nesting boxes each containing one of a set of "clues" to what it is e.g a bit of map of where it takes place, some hints to who is playing,or what activities there are, a small piece of camping kit like a spork. I guess the box thing could work for concert tickets too?

Obviously the tickets would be in the final, central box.

I gave concert tickets a couple of years ago and put them in a Japanese puzzle box .

I'd get a mallet and wrap it up with the tickets attached to the handle with a ribbon.

For the concert tickets... what's the band?

On eBay you can buy the bits to make a homemade scratch card. So you could print something off and then make it into a scratch card.

I gave DS concert tickets as part of a big hamper of band merchandise.
Similar for DD but with festival tickets, I bought her wellies and stuffed them with items that might be useful at a Festival including the tickets.
Attaching them to a balloon in a wrapped box is also good or one of those custom balloons you can put things inside.

Some great ideas, thank you.

It's the Ed Sheeran concert

I got my DD a trip to Disneyland Paris a few years ago and we got these souvenir personalised “golden” tickets with name and date of trip etc.

For dh I wrapped a shoebox in wrapping paper, filled it with Cadbury miniature heros with the tickets in an envelope in there somewhere too.
