Australians and New Zealanders, have an opportunity to give a unique gift for Christmas or someone’s next birthday. Everyone knows how it can be really difficult to select a great gift to give someone, one that they’ll remember for a long time, something utterly out of the ordinary. Many times people fall back on giving slick, trendy gadgets, like the latest mobile phone with amazing features or an ultra-compact MP3 music player. But no matter how much they may be appreciated at the moment, everyone knows that these widgets quickly lose their edge, since a newer, faster, smaller, and more amazing replacement one will be out on the market in no time, and the one you give as a gift will be replaced and overshadowed by a better one in short order. After all, we live in a world that grows new gadgets like a magical orchard might produce a crop of new and more delicious kinds of fruit every year.

A much more memorable gift is one that is ephemeral, not a gadget but a memory, an experience, especially one that will never be forgotten. A gadget might last a year, but an unforgettable experience lasts a lifetime. Even though the experience may only last for a minute or an hour, if it is a supercharged activity that get the adrenalin going, that is something that will become part of the person’s life experience that they can relive by telling about it again and again. As an example, how about skydiving? That lasts a few minutes but is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. That is an example of a gift that can be given by means of Gift Vouchers to someone and it is sure to be something for which you’ll be remembered.

One really fun experience is driving a hot V8 Race car around a real racetrack. Any one of these cars would be a real trip to remember, even if the trip is just a few laps on a racing circuit. Most people can only dream of driving a V8 Race car on a professional track such as Brisbane’s Queensland Raceway or Australia’s latest FIA racetrack. Of course, they don’t hand over the keys and walk away. The recipient of the gift will be accompanied by a professional driver who will explain about the car and safe yet exciting driving techniques. A certificate and photo will complete the adventure. These Tickford V8 Race cars have high-performance engines with safety harnesses, roll cages and race seats. Most selections involve from four to eight laps on the track, preceded by a half-hour briefing about racing and operation. This is a gift that you’ll be remembered by for a lifetime. Do it.
