And it’s not just first-time skydivers who appreciate skydiving-related gifts. When it comes to gifts for a skydiver who has experience, there are plenty of gear options (helmets, altimeters, jumpsuits, goggles) and gift certificates to choose from that will have them flying high both literally and figuratively. 

So, get to planning your next big gift exchange and read on for some tips on how to give the gift of skydiving to your favorite person! 

 

Why Gift Skydiving? 

Giving a skydiving voucher as a gift is one of the most exciting ways to celebrate any occasion. There’s nothing better than watching someone realize you’ve just given them a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here are some reasons why the answer to, “Should you surprise someone with a skydive?” is an enthusiastic: YES! 

• Experiences are better than things. Sure, opening a cool object causes a jolt of excitement and satisfaction. But that feeling quickly fades after whatever the ‘thing’ is isn’t new anymore. An experience is something they can hold onto long after it’s over and that will continue to impact their way of thinking forever. 

• The memories will last a lifetime. How often do you look back on the sweater you got for your birthday six years ago and think Man, that was an awesome sweater! With skydiving, the memories of the amazing day will be something they recall for the rest of their life!! It’s like opening the gift over and over again!

• Skydiving is transformative! It literally changes your life. Going skydiving, even just once, rewires the brain and creates a whole new outlook on life. The confidence of overcoming the fear of jumping translates into all aspects of life, and the person who receives the gift of skydiving will forever feel stronger and more capable. They’ll also see how important adventure and new experiences are, and might even travel down new paths they never before considered.

• It’s a great bonding experience. Skydiving as a group or even a pair is a wonderful way to get closer and share special memories. Supporting each other through the anticipation of the jump and celebrating the achievement of that shared goal is something exclusive to the people who experience a skydive together. You will always be bound by the experience of jumping out of an airplane. 

• Having a skydiving birthday is the ultimate flex. Let’s be honest here, skydiving is cool. Really cool. And doing it to celebrate someone’s day of birth is the coolest birthday there is. What did you do for your birthday? Sure a night out is cool, but did you jump out of an airplane?? 

How Do You Do Skydiving as a Gift? 

 

1. Pick a date

Maybe you’re gifting skydiving as a birthday or anniversary present and you want the experience to happen on that specific, special date. Or it could be that you know this person has an opening in their calendar on a certain day and the only way they’ll fill it with skydiving is if you book it. Picking the date can be a significant part of how meaningful this gift of adventure is! 

2. Book the jump

Now, there are a couple of different ways you can do this. If you know FOR SURE the person receiving the gift is going to be available and willing on the date you choose, then you can go right ahead and book the jump(s) directly with us. But if you’re at all unsure about their calendar, you’re better off getting a gift certificate and letting them choose the date of their high-flying adventure. 

3. Plan the reveal

Almost as important as the gift itself is how you give it! Are they someone who likes surprises? Don’t tell them where they’re going until they see the parachutes in the distance. Are they more of a lowkey, prepare, and research kind of person? Do them a solid and include tips, FAQs, and the tandem waiver all tied up in a bow. Customize the gift for the person! 

4. Go full send

You’re already knocking it out of the park with one of the best gifts they’ll ever receive. Why not go one step further and really hit a home run by adding a video package to the experience? Getting a video of their skydive will enable them to relive and remember every moment of this day forever. Or, get all of your friends or family together and make it a group event! The only thing better than spending a special occasion in the sky is doing it with all your favorite people!
