Experience Gift Guide for Children

This year Lola and Finn are both getting an experience instead of a 'main present' because, quite frankly, they don't actually need anything! So, I have been hunting the internet for the best experiences for the kids which us grown-ups will enjoy too, so today's Christmas Gift Guide is dedicated to experiences that our kids will love. Have we missed something? Please let us know – we would love to add to this list!

Check out the rest of our 2019 Christmas Gift Guides - so far we've done advent calendars, pyjamas and stockings and sacks – stay tuned for Christmas jumpers and books!
