Buyagift

No military discount at Buyagift. No forces scheme, nothing reserved for serving personnel or veterans specifically. The savings available are open to everyone — and there are a few worth knowing about before you order.

What Is Buyagift?

Buyagift has been selling experience days and gift vouchers since 1999. Over 4,500 experiences across the catalogue — spa days, afternoon tea, driving events, cookery classes, flying lessons, short breaks, adventure activities, food and drink experiences. If someone in your life is hard to buy for, this is usually where you end up.

For forces families buying gifts — homecomings, leaving dos, birthdays, the belated occasions that pile up during a deployment — it's a useful site. The range is wide, prices generally sit below what you'd pay booking direct with the venue, and the vouchers are flexible enough to work around the unpredictability of military life. The Gifts section on this site has more options if you're searching for the right present.

How Forces Families Can Save at Buyagift

Newsletter signup gets you 22% off your first order. That's the sharpest discount currently available and it requires nothing more than an email address. Worth doing before you browse if you haven't used the site before — the code comes through quickly and applies at checkout with no minimum spend.

The Special Offers section on the site is the other place to check first. Two-for-one deals appear there regularly, 50% off selected experiences, gifts under £50 — it rotates, so worth a look before committing to full price. Seasonal codes have hit 24% off in the past and tend to appear around key gift-buying periods.

Best Price Guarantee is in place across the catalogue. Find the same experience cheaper at another UK site within 14 days of purchase and Buyagift will refund the difference. Contact them with the competitor site name, URL, date observed and price — they handle it from there. For alternative experience day platforms, Activity Superstore is worth comparing before committing.

Voucher Flexibility — Why It Matters for Forces Families

Vouchers are fully flexible — most can be extended online for £20 if the original date doesn't work out. Leave gets cancelled, postings change, dates shift. That extension option removes a lot of the risk from buying experiences as gifts when plans are never fully certain. E-vouchers are free and arrive by email instantly; physical vouchers can be posted if you need something to hand over in person.

Refunds are available within 30 days of purchase on unused vouchers. The request needs to come from the original buyer. Useful when buying ahead for occasions that might shift.

Tips to Keep Costs Down

• Sign up to the Buyagift newsletter before your first order — 22% off with no minimum spend.
• Check the Special Offers section before browsing the full catalogue — two-for-one and 50% off deals appear regularly.
• Use the Best Price Guarantee if you find the same experience cheaper elsewhere within 14 days.
• Buy e-vouchers rather than physical delivery — free, instant, and easy to forward as a gift.
• Look for experiences priced under the £50 threshold if budget is tight — there's a dedicated section on site.
• Plan ahead during seasonal sale periods — past codes have reached 24% off sitewide.

Can I extend a Buyagift voucher if I can't use it in time?

Is Buyagift worth it for forces families?

The flexible voucher policy suits unpredictable schedules, and the 30-day refund window adds confidence when buying ahead. No military discount, but the newsletter code brings the first purchase meaningfully below full price.

Buyagift is one of the larger UK experience day platforms with over 4,500 options and a best price guarantee. Activity Superstore is a comparable alternative worth checking for specific experiences.
