Alternative Christmas Present Ideas

With Christmas fast approaching everyone is hunting for the perfect Christmas gift, but presents don't just have to be a 'thing', sometimes the gift of an experience can mean so much more to someone. After all it's good memories that stay with us and that last a lifetime. 
And so this year I thought I would share some alternative Christmas presents ideas for anyone looking for something a bit different and something a bit more 'outside of the box'. 
I hope these ideas are helpful, I've listed all of the things that I've thought of together, but some are obviously more suited to children, some are more suited to adults and some are suited to both.
