It’s November, which means one thing and one thing only… the festive season has arrived and Christmas is just weeks away! Yes, you heard correctly, weeks (just under 8 if we’re counting). 

If we’ve just filled you with a sense of sheer panic as you try to think of Christmas gift ideas for your mum, dad, grandpa, nan, brother, sister, auntie Jackies, uncle Pauls, cousin Sarahs, your boyfriend, girlfriend, your best mate, your best mate’s dog…. OK I’ll stop there – rest assured, this isn’t some cruel joke. We’re here to rescue you!

Let’s not kid ourselves – Christmas shopping can be one awful experience and coming up with Christmas gift ideas for all the people in your life is tiring. Save yourself the hassle this year and buy your loved ones the gift of experience with Funzing!

Forget your handmade soaps, cookery books and knitted scarves, a Funzing Gift Card lets your loved ones choose from hundreds of the most unique, local experiences, providing a gateway to discovering unknown passions.
