A Mum’s all-time favourite experiences

Curious about what experiences your Mum would love to do? At Chuffed, we’ve been in the experience game since 2020, so we know what Mums adore. Below, we’ve handpicked seven top experiences (out of hundreds available at Chuffed) to help you raise the bar on unforgettable Christmas gifts for Mum.

One of Mum’s top picks – Day spas

For Mums who relish relaxation, a day spa is a fail-safe choice. Whether you gift the experience of a tranquil mineral pool dip or pamper her with a blissful massage, she’s in for an escape that will leave her perfectly relaxed and rejuvenated.

A favourite among Mums – Wine tasting

Wine tasting remains a timeless favorite among many Mums. The breathtaking vineyard landscapes, scenic views, and inviting ambiance make it the perfect escape for relaxation and joy. Here in New Zealand we’re pretty lucky with some awesome spots renowned for their world-class wines.

For Mums who love wildlife – Swimming with Dolphins

For Mums who have a soft spot for wildlife, gifting them the enchanting experience of swimming with dolphins is a dream come true. Witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, is an awe-inspiring experience, where every flip and frolic creates memories that’ll make her Christmas unforgettable.

One for the foodies – Fine dinning

Dining out is always a winner, especially for Mums who are food enthusiasts. You can elevate her culinary journey with flavors meticulously crafted by top chefs or find somewhere with an exquisite view and atmosphere (or both!). It’s a guaranteed hit for a Christmas gift that delights her taste buds.

For the laid-back adventurer – Kayaking

For Mums who love the great outdoors but at a more relaxed pace, kayaking is a great choice. The serene lakes, rivers, and oceans of New Zealand offer an idyllic backdrop for both relaxation and exploration. It’s a chance to connect with nature, immersing in the beauty of the landscape and creating moments of tranquil connection.

For Mum’s who love relaxation – Mud spa or massage

For Mums seeking tranquility, a mud spa or massage experience provides a unique experience. The soothing properties of mud, combined with therapeutic treatments, create a serene retreat, offering relaxation and enhanced skin health. Our standout choice? The renowned Hell’s Gate in Rotorua, promising an unforgettable escape into bliss.

A favourite for the thrill-seeking Mum – Sky diving

For the daring adventurer, skydiving is the ultimate dream fulfilled. Against the backdrop of New Zealand’s awe-inspiring landscapes, a skydive offers an exhilarating freefall and unmatched excitement.
