Why give an experience for Christmas?
Because an object gets put away and an experience gets talked about. At Christmas, most presents are opened the same evening and end up on a shelf a few days later. An experience creates a date in the year ahead, and often a shared memory between the person who gives it and the person who receives it.
It also solves the problem of people who already have everything. No more wondering whether the size or the colour is right, you give an outing to enjoy together. That is the whole idea of an original gift idea in La Rochelle, giving a moment rather than an object.
A good experience to give ticks three boxes.
- It is shared. The gift is better when it is enjoyed together, with family, friends or colleagues.
- It leaves time. A long validity period means the card does not expire before a date that suits everyone has been found.
- It surprises. An activity the person would not have booked themselves is worth more than an outing they already do
Who to give an experience to, and which one to choose?
The right choice depends on the person and the group they will share the moment with. The table below helps you decide.
| For whom | What matters | What Bomb Squad brings |
|---|---|---|
| A teenager or a child from age 7 | Moving, laughing, an outing that is different | One hour of team mission, open from age 7 |
| Parents or a family | Getting the generations to play together | Teams of 2 to 6 players, formed freely |
| A group of friends | An original outing to organise together | One card for the whole team, to book whenever they want |
| A couple | A moment for two that is out of the ordinary | A team from 2 players |
| Colleagues | A joint gift that cannot go wrong | A team outing, from Secret Santa to the manager's gift |
For a sporty person or a thrill seeker, Mission Paint is the most physical, with a fluorescent paint bomb at the end. For a player who prefers to think, Mission Foam is more cerebral, with a final room that disappears under foam. The team chooses its mission when booking.
How does the Bomb Squad gift card work?
The Bomb Squad La Rochelle gift card costs €150 and covers a team of 2 to 6 players, which is €25 per person when the team is full. It is valid for two years, which leaves plenty of time to find a date.
Buying it takes three steps.
- You personalise it. When you buy, you add the recipient’s name and your message.
- You receive the card by email. It is sent immediately after the payment is confirmed, ready to print or slip into a card.
- They book whenever they want. The recipient enters the gift card number when booking online.
As the card arrives by email, it is still an option on the evening of 24 December, when the shops are closed.
An idea for Secret Santa and team gifts
In a company, the Christmas gift always raises the same question, how to please everyone without falling back on promotional items. Giving a team outing answers it.
For a Secret Santa, the card can be bought by several people and shared between colleagues who form a team. For a manager who wants to thank their team, several cards cover a whole department, or the outing can be booked directly as a group. Beyond 6 people, the team building format welcomes 10 to 60 participants with a reception on site, and the invoice is issued in the format your accounting department or works council (CSE) expects.
