Give an experience as a gift

We don't need more stuff. We need more fun! Good memories last forever. Here are some gift ideas that everyone will love!

For the kids

The little ones have their rooms full of toys already. Give them something to look forward to instead of more stuff!

What could be better than visiting a zoo, climbing park or theme park? Visit the Nature Park Langedrag or the Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park, which are open all year round.

How about a lift pass or a weekend trip to one of Norway's best ski resorts? If your child has a lot of energy, maybe mountain biking is the thing instead.

Get more tips for family-friendly activities.

For the teenager

Stop buying them a new mobile phone every year. Instead, give them something to take pictures of!

How about a surfing course? You can actually do it all year round!

Many young people crave a real adrenaline rush, so a trip to a zipline, via ferrata or rafting could be the thing.

Or an experience they won't forget; Whale watching!

For mum

All mothers need to be taken care of ... and to experience a little more enjoyment in life!

Give her a relaxing spa day, or a gift card for a divine massage. Or maybe she'd rather go horse riding?

If you invite her to go glamping, she may even get a completely new view of tent life.

Here are several tips that can give a mother some long-awaited freedom.

For dad

What is it that dad really loves to do? Together with you, or alone?

Maybe you can surprise him with a kite course, a paddling trip, or a fully planned cycling holiday?

Or maybe dad simply wants some alone time, and a glass of bubbly cider? It´s a excellent gift in combination with a visit to a great cider farm, for example in Hardanger.

For grandma and grandpa

No, you don't need to give them even more brandy, sweets, or funny ties.

Take a trip to the nearest farm outlet or local grocery store, and fill a basket with delicious food! Include one of the world's best cheeses! Have the grandchildren join them on a cosy farm visit or perhaps give them a gift card to an exciting museum?

Grandparents will appreciate doing something enjoyable together. Invite them on a fjord cruise or check into a unique place to stay the night or a luxurious hotel.

For the girls

Everyday life is hectic. Has it been a long time since you got together with the gang? The time has come to splurge on with a proper girl's trip!

Go on a weekend getaway to the Oslo region, and visit everything from museums to some of Norway's hottest saunas.

You can also hire a lighthouse and make some time to chat about life, completely in peace, in unforgettable surroundings. Or maybe you just need a restaurant visit to look forward to?

For the boys

Have a holiday with the lads!

Plan a fishing trip and join the adventurous skrei fishing (migrating cod) in Norway this winter, or catch a big salmon this summer.

If you love skiing, you can go on a safe ski touring or a cross-country tour. The nearest craft beer brewery also offers delicious surprises for the taste buds.

For that special someone

Some couples rarely see each other, while others perhaps spend a bit too much time together. Try out a new experience to spice up your relationship!

Enjoy a stay at one of Norway's most incredible hotels, kiss under the northern lights or plan a romantic winter holiday.

Book a gourmet evening at one of Norway's best restaurants and have a lovely long weekend in one of our fine cities. Find inspiration today with these insider tips from local experts!
