What’s the only thing to rival the feeling of falling for someone? Falling with someone, naturally! That makes a shared skydiving experience the best Valentine’s Day gift you can give. And–because we’re hopelessly in love with love–we’re offering a special Valentine’s special that will put an end to your quest for unique Valentine gift ideas.

From now until February 28th, Skydive Perris is offering a Couple’s Valentine’s Special for only $408 that includes:

• 2 flights (each) in our indoor skydiving wind tunnel;
• 2 tandem skydives;
• and a meal at our onsite restaurant and bar

You and your valentine will begin with flying in our Indoor Skydiving Simulator where you’ll experience the sensation of freefall without being attached to an instructor. After your indoor skydiving experience, you’ll go tandem skydiving from 12,500 ft. Finally, finish up your unforgettable Valentine’s adventure with a meal at The Bombshelter Restaurant & Bar. Sure, that’s a discount and we love discounts–but there’s so much more magic at work here than that. Here’s why a tandem skydive is the Valentine’s Day present you’ve been looking for.

1. Science Confirms: Skydiving Beats Chocolate And Roses, Hands-down.

Okay, so you’re more creative than a chocolate-and-roses-for-Valentine’s-Day kinda lover. But if you’re reaching for a gift that you have to put a bow on, you’re still missing the point–and that’s not just us talking. That’s science. Studies confirm that the best Valentine’s Day gift isn’t a wrap-upable thing. It’s an experience.

The Cornell University Department of Psychology conducted a study that determined, conclusively, that experiential purchases result in “more enduring happiness” than the same amount of money spent on possessing something. It didn’t seem to matter what that “something” was.

According to the Cornell study, gifting experiences provides significantly more pleasurable anticipation and much longer-lasting feelings of satisfaction and delight than a new possession. While an owned thing becomes normalized, no matter how spectacular, a memory lives on in our minds and hearts in a way that doesn’t lose value over time.

How cool is that? Thanks, science.

2. Skydiving Makes An Impression Like No Other.

Think about this: A gift says as much about the giver as it does about the receiver, no? A giver who chooses the safest possible option (say: a dozen roses and a box of chocolates) is likely to have personality traits that thematically match that choice. A giver who heads to the jewelry counter is, whether he/she knows it or not, communicating something about disposable income. And–of course–a giver who boxes up a few scraps of lace sewn together with a bit of ribbon is also making a personal statement.

Your choice to give your Valentine a shared skydive is a statement, as well–and we think it’s the best possible statement you could make. You’re saying that you’re excited to share new experiences, that you take well-managed risks and that life around you is never going to be a bore.

3. Skydiving Is The Most Memorable Date.

Dinner and a movie? Yeah–nope. Your love story is way more epic than that.

You and your main squeeze in a 360-degree, three-dimensional, surround-sound experience of southern California. Together, you’ll be introduced to a sport that has enthralled–and continues to enthrall–millions of adventurous hearts the world over. And, if you’re anything like most of the new skydivers we meet every day, you’ll spend the rest of your date leaping around like jubilant puppies, bopping around with enormous smiles as you enjoy a triple shot of confidence, creativity and joie de vivre. (Also: those butterflies in your stomach have a decidedly erotic afterburn. Just sayin’.)

The infinity-and-beyond emotional slingshot of an indoor skydive and tandem skydive twangs the jumper’s heart far above our standard 12,500’ exit altitude, delivering a hit of inspiration that you two are going to be talking about for years after the fact.

Come to Skydive Perris and create a Valentine’s Day memory that’ll last for always. Here’s to love!

We Have Two Questions That Will Solve Your Gift-Giving Quandaries.

Ready?

Here are the questions.

1. How many adventure-loving humans do you have in your life?
2. How many of those folks are over the age of 18?

That solution to that simple word problem equals the number of tandem skydiving gift certificates on your shopping list. With just a couple more clicks, your holiday shopping is essentially complete. Tandem skydiving gift certificates are crazy-easy to give. They fit everybody. They’ll save you a ton on gift wrap, scotch tape, ribbons and bows. And! They’ll cause your lucky recipients to think of you fondly every time they see the blue sky.

If you’re wondering why the gift of a tandem skydive is pretty much the be-all-end-all of holiday gift-giving, wonder no more. Here’s the facts.

So Easy To Give

It’s easy to purchase gift certificates through our handy online system. It’s online, y’know, which means it works Amazon hours–24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. (Even on the night before Christmas, when you suddenly remember the nephew you very un-politically forgot to shop for.)

The best part: As easy as this gift is to give, it’s the farthest thing from a lazy holiday-weary cop-out. In fact, it’s one of the most powerful, thoughtful, life-affirming, confidence-bestowing and fun gifts you can present someone with.

So Thrilling to Receive

You’re going to be bowled over by the reactions you get. This is, making no bones about it, a very unique gift. It certainly hasn’t shown up in their stockings before. A skydiving gift certificate has a sense of adventure and promise that you’d be hard pressed to match by any other means.

And, when your recipients make it out to the dropzone and emerge with their hootin’, hollerin’, howlin’ footage, you’re guaranteed to be tagged in the happy madness.

So Memorable

Talk about your untoppable gifts–a tandem skydive is a life experience your recipients are literally going to remember for a lifetime. There’s no experience on Earth like stepping out of a plane into the wild blue yonder. There are few things that feel so free; that open up a person’s horizons quite so far, and so lastingly. The feeling of giddy expansion carries over into the rest of a jumper’s life, lasting so far beyond the holiday season.

So–whaddaya say? Are you ready to put something under the tree that puts the spark of adventure into the lives around you? Get a jump start on your holiday shopping or if you have questions about giving a tandem skydive as a gift–get in touch!
