Australia’s experience experts spill on the most wanted gifts this Christmas
RedBalloon, Australia’s leading online experience and ‘things to do’ destination is taking the hassle out of Christmas shopping by revealing the latest, must-have gifts as we head into the festive season.
With Christmas just around the corner, RedBalloon promises to take the stress out of present buying this year. And with more than 3500 experiences to choose from, they guarantee you’ll find something to suit everyone.
“We’ve seen a strong increase in gourmet experience purchases over the last few years, driven by the growing reputation of Australia’s food and wine our increasingly acclaimed chefs and our passion for home cooking. Last Christmas the gourmet category was our most popular gifting category so we’ve worked hard through the year to ensure we have an even wider range of hands-on experiences on offer including cooking classes, barista courses, wine, beer and cheese tastings and gourmet gifts for anyone, no matter what their taste,” RedBalloon CEO Nick Baker said.
RedBalloon’s next most popular experience category is outdoor – such as horse riding, scenic and adventure cruises - followed by water sport activities, which is no surprise given the Aussie summer is almost upon us.
“At RedBalloon we firmly believe experiences, and the great moments and stories they create, are the best option for people wanting to impress their family and friends with their Christmas gifting efforts,” Baker said.
Alongside the top selling categories, RedBalloon’s family and children’s experiences are also on the rise, with school holiday activities always a hot-ticket item for those parents struggling with ideas for things to do with the kids.
RedBalloon gifts and vouchers are available up until Christmas Day, to ensure even the most last minute of shoppers can purchase something unique, meaningful and timely for the biggest gift giving day of the year.
Aussies can browse more than 3500 experiences on offer at redballoon.com.au
