They’ve seen the monuments. Now give them a reason to explore what else the city can do. From food tours through historic neighborhoods and dinner cruises on the Potomac to creative classes, date nights, spa days, and adventures in the sky, Washington, DC is full of experiences that make unique and thoughtful gifts. With over 300 experiences to choose from, plus instant delivery and flexible booking, Virgin Gifts makes finding and sending a DC experience gift a breeze.

Find a DC experience that matches their vibe

The best DC gift depends on what they actually like doing. Foodies can taste their way through Capitol Hill or Old Town Alexandria on a food tour, while history lovers can see the city from a different perspective with a guided sightseeing tour. For couples, explore scenic cruises on the Chesapeake Bay or Potomac River, creative classes, and admission to top spas like Balian Springs. And for anyone who thinks the best way to see DC is from above, there are flying experiences and hot air balloon rides just outside the city.

Why should I gift a DC experience?

Most people who’ve been to DC once assume they’ve seen it all: the Mall, a museum, maybe the Capitol from a distance. Give them a reason to look a little closer. They might discover a new favorite restaurant, cruise down the Potomac, try something they’ve never done before, or simply spend a few uninterrupted hours together. No matter what, experience turns gifting into an adventure they'll never forget.

Your gift. Their schedule.

Pick an experience they’ll love, add a personal message, and send the e-voucher straight to their inbox or schedule it for their birthday, anniversary, or another big day. From there, they can choose a date that works for them, with no expiration dates and hassle-free exchanges if plans change. So whether you’ve gifted them a Potomac cruise, a food tour, or something completely unexpected, there’s no need to coordinate their calendar for them.
