There is no doubt that finding the perfect birthday gift for a friend or loved one can be sometimes difficult. With the multitude of options available, the choice of gift needs to reflect and offer something different. Recently, more and more people are choosing activities and experiences, which offer a unique and rivalled birthday gift that provides, depending upon the activity, exhilaration, and emotional charged experience or relaxation. One of the most renowned providers of activities and experiences within the UK are a company called intotheblue, whose extensive range of experiences offer something for everyone.

With a comprehensive array of activities and experiences available, which include skydiving, wing walking, water sports related experiences as well as cookery and spa days, the choice of activity as a birthday gift, is made somewhat easier. Their website which is available at www.intotheblue.co.uk provides comprehensive information regarding each of the relevant activities, as well as a summary, spectator information and facilities available at the relevant location as well as any specific requirements. Their range of birthday gifts caters for all age groups, whether looking for 16th birthday gift ideas or 70th birthday options.

In addition for those who are unsure as to which activity or experience is best suited to an individual, the opportunity exists to purchase a 12 month voucher, which can be redeemed by the lucky recipient, for an activity or experience of their choosing and at a time and location to suit. Whether looking for quad biking in Nottinghamshire, White water rafting in Perthshire or the more sedentary and relaxing experience of tea for two in London, or a chocolate workshop, there is sure to be something that fits the bill.

The website itself is an effective shop window of the available options which have grown in number significantly over the years.

The top five most expensive birthday gifts ever – and the party to go with them!

June 23, 2011 Shopping

There’s nothing like pushing the boat out when it comes to buying birthday gifts, but these presents might just break the bank…

There’s no doubt birthdays are very special occasions and buying birthday gifts for your loved ones is a great pleasure, but in some cases you might need to remortgage the house to be able to offer the most bling bling of gifts. Here’s our top five most expensive birthday gifts in the world:

1.    A teddy bear for £43,000 – to celebrate the 125th birthday of the very first Steiff bear, the company made a limited edition run of 125 gift bears with fur made from gold thread and sapphires for eyes.

2.    A bottle of Champagne for £170,000 – in 1917 a boat shipping Heidsieck champagne from France to a rich Russian family capsized. In 2000 divers located the wreckage and found caskets of 200 bottles. The shipwreck champers has been selling at auction for 250,000USD and is being sipped by the world’s richest.

3.    Your own golf course for £580,000 – the perfect birthday gift for golf fans (if you have a few hundred hectares of land going spare) is to get the legend that is Jack Nicklaus to create your very own 18 hole course. If this sporting present sounds quite reasonably priced, that’s just the design and doesn’t include actually building the thing!

4.    A sports car for £750,000 – giving any car as a birthday gift is hugely generous, but imagine handing over the keys to a Bugatti Veyron. At present holding the crown for the most expensive production car in the world, this superlative piece of engineering boasts four turbochargers and gives out 1001bhp. Don’t even bother asking what the insurance premium will be!

5.    An iPhone 4 was created as a special gift and cost just £15 million – yes, what normally costs a few hundred pounds on the High Street has this heavy price tag because it’s encrusted with over 500 diamonds, gold plated and with a flawless 7.4 carat pink diamond. Still costs 10p to send a text message though…

Of course, nothing sets off great birthday gifts more than a fabulous party to go with it and we like the sound of the birthday bash a Ukrainian businessman organised as a gift for himself. Victor Pinchuk, who’s very big in the metal industry back home, splashed out £4 million on a party for his 50th birthday in swanky French ski resort Courchevel.

Not content with the plethora of five star hotels in resort, he organised deluxe marquees and a huge stage with entertainment from Cirque du Soleil and Christina Aguilera. Guests sipped on fine wines and dined on gourmet food from Michelin-starred chefs.
