Experience gifts? For teens

[Lovemusic33]

Not for Christmas but my dc both have big birthdays after Christmas (16 and 18) and I always struggle to buy them gifts, both don’t really have any hobbies as such and finding things for them for Christmas is hard enough. Both DD’s have ASD and some mobility issues. I’m thinking about getting them an experience instead of a present.

Dd2 loves super cars so I’m thinking of a super car experience but most of them seem to be driving experiences and because of her ASD she won’t be able to drive but would love to be a passenger. Can anyone recommend somewhere that does this? We are in the SW and o don’t want to have to travel too far.

I’m thinking possibly a zoo experience for dd1, has anyone done any of the Longleat VIP experiences? Possibly red panda? They seem pricy, are they worth it?

Or any other suggestions?

Escape Rooms? A live Cluedo thing (they go round towns and set up a murder mystery that you have to solve)?

Dd wouldn’t be able to drive, she’s severely autistic and lacks danger awareness as well and she has dyspraxia but she loves cars so would love to be a passenger in a super car on a race track. She sat in her favourite super car earlier this year and loved it (but didn’t go for a drive).

I'm sure the racetracks have facilities to drive people around rather than let them drive.

Try red letter days or virgin experiences.

Thank you, I have found one locally that offers passenger experiences and can offer a go in 3 cars, I think I will give them a call nearer the time and see if they can accommodate dd. She would love a go at driving but wouldn’t be safe (she almost killed me in a bumper car 🤣).
