The West Coast

West Coast gifts your friends and family will love

 There is an art to finding the perfect gift for someone, and quite honestly, for most of us it involves a lot of time and effort. When it’s a special occasion such as a wedding or a college graduation, it can be even more difficult to get just the right thing. With Tinggly gift cards, your problems are over. 

 West Coast experiences from Tinggly let the recipient exchange their gift card for one of dozens of amazing activities, including a romantic sunset sail in California’s Monterey Bay, an amazing hot air balloon flight above trendy Portland, and a scenic horseback ride in the Nevada desert from Las Vegas, led by a genuine cowboy guide.

How do West Coast experiences work?

 It’s super-easy. Start by deciding which of the various online gift cards you’d like to buy, depending on your budget or the occasion. These make great college graduation gifts, Mother’s Day gifts and wedding gifts, for instance.

 It takes a couple of seconds to pay securely online. Then you just have to add a personal message for the recipient, and an address for their gift card to be sent, and you’re all done. Within days they’ll be able to start browsing the many West Coast experiences available to them, and you? You will be basking in the knowledge that you got them an amazing gift they’re going to treasure.

 That’s because experiences are far more satisfying as gifts than material items. The anticipation beforehand, the memories afterwards - you just don’t get that with a new piece of homeware, or a bottle of wine. One of these West Coast experiences might only last for a few hours but it can be remembered forever.

 How to use West Coast experiences

Unlike most gift cards, recipients can choose what they want to do, and there is no shortage of amazing West Coast experiences to choose from. This is real ‘tick things off your personal bucket list’ territory. And because there are NO expiry dates on these West Coast gifts, they can take their time making a decision. 

 Once they’ve made up their mind, they can get in touch with the dedicated Tinggly team, who will make a reservation on their behalf. We find it’s best to allow at least two weeks in advance of a booking to ensure availability.

Unique West Coast experiences include:

•  A private kayaking tour in Santa Barbara Harbor
• A ‘secret’ foodie tour of San Francisco’s Mission District
• Tandem paragliding over gorgeous Malibu

• A Willamette Valley wine-tasting tour in Oregon

Eco-friendly West Coast experiences

 Tinggly are pleased to introduce our Activist program, in which we enroll anyone buying one of our West Coast experiences. What does it involve? 

 For every gift card sold, we pledge to work with our partners Climate Care and Plastic Bank to do the following:

•  Offset the carbon footprint of the average experience by a massive 200% (we know offsetting isn’t the answer, but it’s a start)
• Remove 11bs (5kg) of plastic waste from the natural environment, the equivalent of 220 plastic bottles
