Valentine's Day Activity Gift Ideas for Your Boyfriend

        

It can be difficult to think of what to get for your boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Fear not. Just appeal to his sense of fun and need for excitement by getting him the gift of an activity experience. A fantastic variety of extreme sports and thrill rides are available that will get your boyfriend's adrenalin pumping. From these there are a huge range of outdoor activity gifts for your boyfriend that you could get him for Valentine's Day. Here are few ideas to get you started.

Driving Activity Gifts

1. Rallying

   If your boyfriend thinks he can drive well, then get him a rallying experience gift. He will be taught how to handle a car in slippery conditions, and shown how to keep it under control.

2. 4 x 4 driving

   Your boyfriend will get to find out how to negotiate the most challenging of off road terrain, and be taught how to drive over some unbelievably tough obstacles.

3. High Speed passenger ride

   Let your boyfriend find out what it's like to be a passenger driven at high speed around a rally circuit or racing track.

4. Drive an A class Mercedes yourself, even if you are under age!

   The Mercedes museum near Guildford in Surrey allows under 18s to drive their A Class around the track. As long as you can reach the pedals, you are good to go.

5. Monster Car Experience

   If your boyfriend is into big powerful cars, then he might just enjoy driving a monster truck and crush a few cars in the process.

6. Skid Pan driving

   This one will help improve your boyfriend's driving skills, or at least let him know how tricky driving on slippery roads can be. He will be taught how to control a car in wet and icy road conditions, and have great fun.

7. Quad Biking

   You might like to get your boyfriend whizzing around some rough terrain on a quad bike. Perhaps you could go quad biking together.

Water Activity Gifts

1. White Water Rafting

   If your boyfriend doesn't mind getting wet, then he will have lots of fun paddling down a wild river.

2. Power Boating

   If your boyfriend has a need for speed, then perhaps a ride in a powerboat on the sea will take his fancy. You could be relaxing on the beach waving with a drink in your hand while he is speeding over the waves.

3. Deep Sea Fishing

   For a more sedate activity gift, your boyfriend may prefer to spend the day sitting back and catching a few large ones from the deep. Just make sure that he doesn't suffer from sea sickness.

4. Radio Controlled Hovercraft

   Boys and their toys go well together. A remote controlled hovercraft will give your boyfriend the chance to navigate both on land and on water. It will work better on ponds and lakes than the sea. You could put together a picnic and whilst sitting by the side of a lovely lake reveal his present. He will love it. You may find that you get ignored for the rest of the day as he plays with his new toy.

5. Scuba Diving Lessons

   For the more adventurous, get your boyfriend the gift of scuba diving lessons. It may be something that you both want to do together. Who knows, it may lead you to having a wonderful holiday somewhere hot and exotic to go scuba diving. The Caribbean perhaps?

Thrill Seeking Activity Gifts

1. Theme Parks

   Treat your boyfriend (and yourself!) to a trip to a theme park. You may want to get a group of friends together to make a day of it. Travelling together may also reduce the cost. There are plenty of theme parks around the country to choose from.

2. Zorbing and Sphering

   If you want a real laugh, get your boyfriend a Zorbing experience. Zorbing and Sphering is where you are strapped inside a big inflatable ball and rolled down a hill. There is also aqua-zorbing, where you aren't strapped in, but several buckets of water are thrown inside. The experience is like being in a shower that is rolling down a hill! He will come out with the biggest grin on his face. Huge fun!

3. Go Ape High Wire Adventure

   For the adventurer in him, take him on a high wire adventure to one of the Go Ape centres at the Forestry Commission locations around the UK. Your boyfriend will get to do his Tarzan impressions whilst climbing and swinging through the trees. There are also zip wires where he will get to go whizzing through the trees.

Flying Activity Gifts

1. Fly a Biplane

   Your boyfriend can get to actually fly a biplane.

2. Gliding

   Send your boyfirend flying high with a gliding activity experience.

3. Radio Controlled Helicopter

   If your boyfriend thinks he has got what it takes to control a complex piece of machinery, then get him a remote controlled helicopter for Valentine's Day.

4. Radio Controlled Plane

   Radio controlled planes are easier to control than radio controlled helicopters, however, when they hit the ground they do tend to break easier.

5. Skydiving

   For the real adrenalin junkie, get your boyfriend a skydiving gift for Valentine's Day.

6. Indoor Skydiving

   If you can't picture your boyfriend jumping out of an aircraft, then indoor skydiving may be more fun. This is where you go into a vertical wind tunnel with see through sides and ride the updraft of wind like you are skydiving. Fabulous fun, and you don't have to worry about parachutes and heights.

7. Parascending

   A tandem parascending flight could be just the thing to make your boyfriend grin from ear to ear. The views will be fantastic, and the rush is unbelievable.

8. Hang gliding

   This one is a serious rush. Jump off the side of a big hill and fly like a bird. I highly recommend the tandem hang gliding activities.

9. Hot Air Balloon Trip

   A nice sedate flight in a hot air balloon could be the romantic thing you are seeking. Great views, and a wonderful shared gift experience.
