Not your typical Advent calendar: top 25 ideas for Christmas gift experiences for everyone

This Christmas (like every Christmas), together with the festive mood comes the stress around buying presents. In contrast with birthdays and other occasions, here the situation is a bit more complicated as you need to think about at least a couple of different people, who are all to receive something awesome and original. More often than not, this turns into a way too long and weary process, which contrasts the original idea, namely to gift happiness! That’s why this year we are counting the days until Christmas with a special Advent calendar, at the end of which you have our word that you will have chosen a suitable gift experience for all of your loved ones with minimal effort!

We are kicking off December with a hot air balloon flight over Belogradchik! Give a loved one the opportunity to take part in an amazing adventure at the place classified as one of the new seven wonders of the world!
