An event designed for someone you love: heartfelt emotions to give with just one click!
It is always the right time to give a gift! Whether it is for Christmas, a birthday or simply a special occasion worth celebrating, a gift is the perfect way to say something important to someone we care about. The new way to be remembered is to give an experience: a gift whose memory lasts over time…
We believe that giving experiences is the best way to remain unforgettable! Our homes are full of objects, but what we can never have enough of are experiences to share: here at SlowDays, we believe one naturally leads to another!
My family has just moved house, and you never realise how many “things” you end up having to throw away. Memories of experiences shared with the people you love, on the other hand, take up no space at home but fill a huge place in your heart!
GOAL: AN EXPERIENCE GIFT IDEA
Finding the right idea—an original experience gift that truly makes an impression and suits every taste—is becoming increasingly difficult. But stay with me for a few more lines and you will see that it can be much easier!
A special gift for a friend who loves the outdoors
Do you have a friend who loves animals and spends her free time outdoors? A weekend of horseback riding in the Langhe could be just right for her.
With this kind of excursion—which you could join too—she can discover the extraordinary Langhe and Roero countryside while spending time with a wonderful animal.
And she will think of you whenever she looks back at her horseback-riding photos!

Original gift ideas for a sporty friend
And what about the friend who is proud of being fit and of all those hours spent working out at the gym? Put them to the test with a cycling tour in the Langhe: a truly unique experience lasting one or more days, discovering the Langhe and Piedmont by bike or e-bike—the ideal way to tackle the hills’ “gentle” slopes. With our self-guided routes, cycling through the vineyards will be a delight… with stops for photos and tastings, of course! An exciting gift that creates powerful emotions.

The perfect gift for adventure lovers
If you are part of a cheerful group and want to give one shared gift—something that involves everyone and helps you remember the day you spent together—I suggest a fun, adrenaline-filled day of “pure survival”! It is an adventure gift that lets you play and have fun. And it is not only for groups of men, but for groups of women too! Challenges, laughter, experiences and surprises! This gift is a real gem, not something you can easily find.
Just a few hours, with a big impact
“You must promise me that you will survive, that you will not give up, no matter what happens, however hopeless the situation. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.”
A gift idea for wine lovers
Do you have a wine-loving colleague who is always telling you how much they would like to visit a winery and uncover the secrets of the wine world? Or someone who considers themselves a connoisseur and describes every aroma in the glass? It may sound obvious, but it is anything but: a wine-tasting tour is exactly what they need! The tour introduces the finest wines of the Langhe, from Barolo and Barbaresco to Barbera, Moscato, Favorita and Arneis. People come to the Langhe above all to taste its extraordinary, world-famous wines, and this gift will introduce them to some of the area’s best wineries.
Even better if the tour includes smaller, lesser-known, often family-run producers, whose passion and personal welcome complement the outstanding quality of their wines. They will tell you about every aroma and sensation this gift revealed—and perhaps share a very good bottle chosen at one of the wineries they visited, while explaining absolutely EVERYTHING there is to know about that wine!
Shall we call it a weekend full of pleasure?
…through the village streets, from the fermenting vats, the sharp scent of wine rises to gladden the soul. Giosuè Carducci
A special gift for a food lover
And what about your foodie father’s refined palate? I have found the perfect experience for him too! If he loves truffles, you will win his heart with a truffle hunt in the Langhe and Roero. Truffles can be found in every season, and joining a truffle hunter and his dog to learn all about searching for this precious treasure of the earth will be both fun and exciting.
Add a lunch featuring white truffles and your food lover will be speechless! Extend the gift to your mother as well and you will have chosen something original, emotional and wonderfully elegant.
Nature, fragrance and all five senses awakened!

Now I have shared these ideas with you, and you can organise and find them entirely on your own! If you would also like an easy way to buy them, browse our SlowBoxes: you will find them ready to go—even gift-wrapped 🙂 Ready to be sent.
There are also couple experiences to give: whether he gives one to the person he loves or she gives one to her partner. After all, giving the Langhe as a gift—and enjoying it together—is a wonderful idea 😎
If you want to stand out this year, save time and make an even greater impression, choose to give emotions.
That is all from the home of giftable emotions!
