If you really want to prove to your travel-obsessed loved one that you’ve been listening, skip buying stuff and opt for a gift experience this year. Here are five reasons to consider Tinggly and how to buy an experience.
Why Gift an Experience?
Experience, Together
Spend quality time together while learning a new skill – sculpting, salsa dancing, or even sushi making!
Or, gift an experience that your loved one can do independently during their next adventure and bond over the stories as they boast on social media!
Heaps of Choice
There are over 10,000 options to choose from at Tinggly.
Experiences are categorised by theme and location, so it’s easy to filter to find the right one.
Categories include food and drink, attractions, sightseeing, wellness, workshops, and even online experiences, so the receiver doesn’t have to leave the comfort of their couch.
We’ve cycled along Death Road in Bolivia, boarded down a volcano in Nicaragua, and watched the Harry Potter Train charge over the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct at home in Scotland with Tinngly; experiences can be enjoyed during staycations too!
Swap an Experience
If you go too left field or not wild (or mild) enough, the receiver can exchange the experience for another at the same value, free of charge.
This means that if you give a shark dive but the recipient would actually prefer a spa day, the user can make this change on the Tinggly website.
The buyer can also request a return within 30 days of purchase.
Plus, there’s no expiration date on the experience.
Honeymoon Present
What do you get DINKS (dual income, no kids) for their wedding gift when they’ve been living together for years?
Yes, you guessed it – a gift experience.
Tinngly has a collection of gifts for newlyweds, such as the Happily Ever After gift box; see the occasions tab for more.
Less Junk
Travellers tend to shy away from “things,” with most of their disposable income going towards adventures.
When we were saving for our 18 months Americas and Europe trip, we adopted the mantra: Canada or crap.
It wasn’t being bought if it couldn’t fit in our backpack.
Gifting an experience doesn’t take up space and saves your loved one money.
You can either go completely digital or buy a box with Tinggly.
