Gifts Under £50

Here are 70+ experiences that disprove the myth that only big price tickets equal big smiles. Yes, of course being spoiled is fab, but with Indytute London you don’t need a second mortgage to surprise someone (and win big brownie points).

A harmonica lesson with a world-class player who’ll have you actually playing in an hour — £25. A guided walk through the hidden tunnels and true spy stories beneath London’s streets — £29. A two-hour forage along the Brighton coastline for edible seaweed, sea purslane and rock samphire, followed by a feast — £49.
All handpicked. All open-dated. All valid for 12 months.
None of them a candle (although we do have creative candle-making for £44).

How do I give one of Indytute’s Experience Day gifts?

eVouchers land in your inbox within 15 minutes of purchase, any time of day or night. We can send straight to the recipient if you prefer — just add their details at checkout. Or, you can plump for the traditional physical gift pack to wrap and add ribbons, glitter and a swing-tag to. Whatever you fancy. The lucky recipient simply visits usemygift.indytute.com to register and book their date directly with the experience host. Can’t decide which one? Our Super Voucher starts from £50 and lets them choose from the entire site. Still excellent value, completely stress-free and you hand the controls over to them.

Great gifts don’t have to cost a lot, in our humble opinion.
