For many, choosing Christmas gifts for their loved ones is a real challenge. We often turn to gift cards, but for many of us, they have a reputation for not being original enough. Let’s face it, a gift card for a skydive is an excellent way to surprise a loved one, but why not make the gift-unwrapping moment just as amazing!

That’s why Parachute Voltige has prepared a small guide of ideas to give an original gift card! Our goal is to help you find a unique way to present this gift! Whether it’s for a family member, a friend, your lover, or to mark a special occasion, here are our favorite ideas to make this Christmas the most memorable of all!

1- The helium balloon Ah, the Christmas holidays, what better way to fill up on magic? The gift exchange is a moment awaited by all, especially this year when families can finally celebrate together. Make heads turn (or rather “look up”) and amaze the little ones with this superb idea: attach your Voltige gift card for a skydive to a helium balloon. It will release and fly out when opening a big box. For a “WOW” effect, choose a balloon in the shape of a plane, a cloud, or simply a heart. You can also choose a balloon shaped like a Christmas tree or Santa Claus! Fill the inside of the box with tissue paper and pretty lights (battery-operated). Make sure to get the cameras ready and prepare to capture your loved ones’ reactions! Don’t hesitate to send us your videos; it’s our greatest joy to know that some will dream of summer knowing their skydive is approaching!

2- The “Bucket List” This is the perfect idea if you’re giving a tandem skydive to someone who has been dreaming of it for a long time! To create this gift package you will only need a large sheet of paper folded in three and a piece of ribbon, string, or a strip of paper! You could even print the image above. First, list a few dreams and goals of the gift card recipient, including skydiving! Then, attach the piece of ribbon to the back of the gift card and slip it inside the folded paper, letting the ribbon hang out at the bottom. Why not tease them a little by asking them to guess what you’re giving them for Christmas?! They will then pull on the tab to discover that they will take the big leap at Parachute Voltige!

3- The parachute-themed treasure hunt and riddles Christmas parties are often an opportunity to play games and have a good laugh! Therefore, a treasure hunt is perfect for someone who has no idea you are giving them a skydive as a Christmas gift! Here’s your chance to make them think a little, clue by clue. Your task will be to reveal, little by little, where the clues you wrote on small pieces of paper are hidden. Below are some ideas, but feel free to add your own and send them to us so we can add them to this list!

• Santa says: “High, high, high!”
• Everything you need can be contained in a “backpack”!
• If you see ants as big as cows, it’s too late!
• It’s a whole new way to “get some air”!
• You’ll know why birds sing!
• It’s something you better get right the first time!
• For the best experience, you need a good attitude and good altitude!
• There’s nothing like getting high! 😉

4- Speaking of getting high! If you are giving one of our Christmas gift cards to your significant other, why not lead them astray with this double entendre greeting card?! Simply write on the front, “For Christmas I thought we could get high!” (with a wink) and slip the skydive gift card inside the greeting card! Guaranteed effect every time!

5- A monetary value gift card in the Christmas stocking! Preparing Christmas stockings is an important tradition for many families! To make everyone happy, why not slip in a monetary value gift card?! It’s the perfect gift for smaller budgets or for your nephew or niece. We bet they’ll think you’re the coolest aunt, uncle, godfather, or godmother! You can choose an amount ranging from $50 to $250, applicable towards the value of a skydive!

With these five ideas for giving an exciting gift card, we hope to have convinced you that it’s an excellent opportunity to be very original! The entire Parachute Voltige team wishes you a wonderful holiday season! We look forward to seeing you again with the beautiful days of summer!
