Unique Father’s Day Gifts That Create Memories

Unique Father’s Day Gifts That Create Memories

Looking for some unique father’s day gifts that are sure to please that special guy in your life? Whether he’s the easiest guy in the world to buy for or the hardest you can go wrong with the gift of a fun experience that creates fond memories for him. Give the gift of an experience from Breakaway Experiences.

Breakaway Experiences has embraced the ever-growing popularity of “once-in-a-lifetime” and “bucket list” experiences. They offer certificates for a remarkable variety of unique experiences across the United States and Canada. 

My daughter and husband in the photo above. Now that photo is a memory of a fun experience from her graduation portraits. While we received compensation for this article, all opinions are 100% our own and we truly love experiential gifts!

Here are just a few reasons that a gift from Breakaway Experiences makes for an awesome Father’s Day gift (or birthday or anniversary well any occasion!):

  • Instant gifting – While some dads are last-minute shoppers now we can all wait until the last minute and not even leave the house! You can buy their present any time of day and instantly print it up to put in a card or simply email them.
  • A one-stop shop for some unique experiences for gifts in Canada and the United States.
  • Certificates never expire – They guarantee the value of all certificates. If a certificate is not redeemed within a year of purchase and the cost of the experience increases, the certificate holder will only have to pay the difference between the original value and the new price.
  • Hassle-free exchange policy – Not sure they will love the experience you picked? With our hassle-free exchange policy, they can simply trade it for the full value of the original certificate.
  • Can’t decide what experience to buy? Breakaway Experiences’ gift certificates are a great way for you to buy them a gift that he/she can use towards an experience that is on their bucket list.

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that.

    I think experiences are great gifts b/c I know it sounds cliche but you get a good time & memories for a lifetime! They are even better when you get to share bthe experience with others & grow closer with that person whether it be your spouse, kids, or friends etc

    I think gifting an “Experience” is a fun idea — things they would never get for themselves, more than likely!

    I did a blacksmith experience years ago with a friend through a Renaissance group and loved it. I think a blacksmith experience would be a great gift for anyone. You get to create something you can keep, and you get to have a memorable experience

    Experiences are always a preferred type of gift to receive and hand out. My home is already full of random decorations/appliances. Not a fan of gifting things which the receiving party may not even want or need. Experiences are what we live for and are typically a lot more memorable & enjoyable! 🙂

    i love the idea of experiences as a gift, it’s something to look back together and something new to experience together. I find it’s really hard to find a great gift as a specific item because people have everything so this is a great idea

    A lot of your experiences are rather death-defying. I’m not sure that’s a good thing to encourage.

    For many years now in my family, we’ve exchanged “experiences” like tickets to events and such to cut down on landfill waste. A company like Breakaway Experiences is great for this.

    My father is the least materialistic person I know so I think getting him an experience would be more fulfilling for the both of us. There’s so many different choices for every type of dad out there.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
