5 last minute London experience Christmas gifts.

Less than a week to go and you have no idea what to get and no time to get it, sound familiar? We’ve all been there but don’t worry, there is hope! If any of your friends or family live in London or are likely to visit in the next year or so then I might be able to save you the embarrassment of turning up to your aunts house with a box of chocolates…again.

I’ve drawn up a quick list of 5 amazing London gift experiences that you can buy right now and have them delivered to you before Christmas, or allow you to print them off yourself and include in a nice card. I’ve done my research and all of these attractions are rates at least 4 stars on trip advisor, so I can guarantee that any one of them will be better than a new pair of socks. Most of them include a hefty discount too!

 

A trip to the top of The Shard with Champagne

Want to really impress your other half, or maybe treat Mum and Dad? Take them on a trip to the top of The Shard which includes one free glass of exclusive Lanson Champagne each. You are free to choose when you visit over a whole year, so there is no rush. The button below will take you to a website where you can get two gift certificates and have them sent to you guaranteed before Christmas Day (or you can print them yourself).

There we have it! These last minute Christmas gifts are so good that you can probably just pretend you put loads of thought into it months in advance. I do hope I’ve helped avoid a few last minute panic trips to the shopping mall on Christmas Eve, if so; I’ve done my job right. If you have any friends who you fear may have left it to the last minute then share this post with them, you may even end up on the receiving end of one of these gift experiences!
