Ultimate Adventure Bucket List Ideas in the UK
If your idea of a great day out involves a bit of adrenaline, a challenge, or simply trying something you’ve never done before, this is where your bucket list starts to get in...
I never thought buying a present for a boy, let alone one who’s only 11, would be that difficult until I was faced with that predicament!
Boys are, overall, not like girls in that they are pretty much satisfied with anything that shines, is pretty and looks like something you’d find on the rainbow! I am obviously generalising quite a bit here, but this post is more for the stereotypes of girls liking pink and fluffy things whereas boys just aren’t that easy to buy for!
Boys want the heavy duty bits - think trucks, guns, footballs and the like up until a point and then they seem to hit about 10 years old, and those much loved gifts just don’t hit the same! And this is either because they have every single piece of paraphernalia that is geared towards boys or they want memory making gifts!
Instead of adding to the pile in his bedroom, a junior driving experience gives him something completely new.
We’re talking about getting behind the wheel, hands on the steering wheel, learning how to control a real car all in a safe, supervised environment with an instructor right beside him. My post on what really happens on a junior supercar driving experience detailed exactly how much the drivers do get to commandeer the cars, which was a surprise to me!
For most 11 year olds, this isn’t just exciting… it’s truly unforgettable.
If he’s even slightly into cars, a junior driving experience takes things to another level. Even if he's not, the intrigue as to what it's like doing something so grown up will draw him towards this experience.
Imagine the reaction when he realises he’s not just going for a ride,he’s actually driving a supercar.
From Ferraris to Lamborghinis, these experiences are designed specifically for younger drivers, with:
When someone already has everything, the usual gifts just don’t cut it anymore. A junior driving experience works because it:
It’s not just a present, it’s an experience he’ll remember for a long time, not just because of the memories but because of all the photos and videos you can get too! A framed photo of him driving a number of supercars will be treasured forever!
The experience doesn’t just start when he gets in the car. It starts long before that because an 11 year old that knows he’s driving a Lamborghini isn’t sleeping the night before!! The anticipation of what’s to come is only magnified when he presses that start button on a supercar! What makes a junior supercar driving experience even better is everything surrounding it before and after.
Add in photos, family watching from the sidelines, and maybe a bite to eat afterwards, and suddenly you’ve got a full day that feels like a proper occasion.
