You choose the theme, they choose the activity

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the dilemmas of gift buying. Now, Smartbox from The Full Experience Company has announced an exciting new range of exclusive themed gift sets offering the perfect solution to those present nightmares.

Smartbox gift boxes are the ultimate Christmas gift and the perfect treat for a loved one; each themed Smartbox gives the recipient a choice of amazing experiences from thrill-seeking activities to spa & beauty treatments or short breaks across the UK and Ireland. Featuring Adrenaline, Unusual Escapes, Delicious Retreats and Royal Gourmet Escapes, the new range perfectly complements the current themes of Adventure, Zen & Spa, Charming Getaways and Gourmet Retreat in France, which now offer an extended selection of activities.

With prices starting at £60.00 for Adventure, the Smartbox is unique in the choice it offers. It can be bought for the cost of one “experience” but allows the recipient to select from a variety of options. Instead of having to select a specific experience as a gift for a friend or loved one, gift-givers simply pick out an experience category and let the recipient choose from up to 80 options depending on the Smartbox. Gift receivers simply book their experience by contacting the venue itself as in the brochure and reserve the date of their choice, paying with the voucher on arrival.

Smartbox comes with stylish packaging and a luxury brochure illustrated with details and photographs of each activity or experience. The full range includes:
Adrenaline, for the ultimate thrill seeker, with a choice of 70 extreme activities (for one or two people) - an adrenaline cocktail of high speed driving in a Lamborghini or Ferrari, aerobatic flying, amazing water experiences and incredible outdoor activities such as Quad Biking across the magnificent highlands of Scotland.

Unusual Escapes offering a choice of 30 unique one night getaways for two in the UK and Ireland (breakfast included) staying in Churches, Country Houses and Farm Houses or, for something completely unusual, an authentic Yurt or Tipi or perhaps a gypsy caravan, perfect for romantics.

Delicious Retreats, offering one night escapes for two with breakfast and three-course dinner, the perfect gift to get those taste buds going with a choice of 20 outstanding accommodations across the UK and Ireland.

Royal Gourmet Escapes, for the chance to indulge in those historic fantasies, with a choice of 20 one night stays for two, breakfast and gourmet dinner included, in venues such as a 12th Century restored Abbey, Manor House or ancient Church.

Adventure now offers the excitement of hovercraft flying or an encounter with dolphins and whales amongst the choice of 70 thrill-seeking activities which also include helicopter rides and race car experiences (for one or two people); Zen and Spa, for those in need of pampering from head to toe has 80 unique spa and beauty treatments to choose from, while Charming Getaways, offering a choice of short breaks for two has extended its portfolio to include an exclusive selection of hotels across Ireland. Gourmet Retreat in France, with 20 ‘escapes’ to choose from, is the perfect gift for a gourmet food lover with a night of fine dining (for two) in three star hotels across France.

Prices for the new Smartbox themes range from £95.00 for Unusual Escapes, £149.00 for Adrenaline, £189.00 for Delicious Retreats and £295.00 for Royal Gourmet Escapes, while Adventure costs £60.00, Zen & Spa, £85.00 and Charming Getaways and Gourmet Retreat in France retail at £150.00 and £170.00 respectively.

Short breaks and getaways include one-night stays (travel not included) for two people with breakfast, selected themes also including dinner. Many venues include added extras such as Welcome Drinks, Champagne, Afternoon Tea or Tours, details of which are featured in the illustrated brochure included in each Smartbox. The Smartbox range covers the UK and the whole of Ireland.
