I love giving experiences as a gift over an actual present - memories last forever and spending time with loved ones is the best way you can treat someone I think. I've put together a few vouchers and annual passes from across North East England that I feel will make wonderful Christmas gifts. Please always check terms and conditions carefully before ordering and note that some of these deals are only available for a limited time. .
Annual English Heritage Membership for 2 adults and up to 6 children - £57.60 - buy here
We love our English Heritage Membership and think this will make a fab deal for a family - there are lots of properties to visit across North East England from Belsay Hall, Warkworth Castle and Tynemouth Priory to Dunstanburgh Castle, parts of Hadrian's Wall and Lindisfarne Priory. The membership will really come into it's own in the summer when English Heritage host lots of fab events from kite flying to Roman Soldier Training and Medieval Combat. You can also travel further afield and visit places like Stonehenge or Whitby Abbey.
Spa Day, Two Treatments Each and Afternoon Tea for Two at Holiday Inn Gosforth Park for £89 - buy here
I think this would make a lovely gift for a mum and daughter this year - two treatments, afternoon tea and time in a spa for this price is a mega bargain.

I LOVE John Bishop and think tickets to his new show will be much appreciated by parents, friends or couples.
Black Friday Deals at Rockliffe Hall including Champagne brunch for 2, spa and foodie breaks - buy here
Rockliffe Hall is one of the best hotels in the North East. It oozes 5 star luxury and visiting their spa, restaurant or staying over feels like a real treat. Save this gift for someone you really wish to spoil this year.

Three course meal with a glass of wine for 2 at Prezzo - £22 - buy here
This is a fab gift to buy a friend this year if you're in need f a catch-up. Prezzo isn't my favourite restaurant but they are convenient and this price is fantastic.
21 Group Taste Tour - £45 - buy here
The 21 Group Taste Tour is probably the best gift you can buy a North East foodie this Christmas. We recently reviewed the tour over on Mrs Mulled Wine and I'm secretly hoping someone has bought me the experience again for Christmas - yes it is that good!
Tickets to see Jack and the Beanstalk in Times Square - £10 each - buy here
Jack and the Beanstalk starring Denise Welch is a brand new panto in the Times Square Pantodrone this year. Showing until 30 December, it's the perfect gift for families to enjoy between Christmas and New Year.
18 holes of golf for 2 people with a bacon roll and hot drink each at Macdonald Linden Hall - £29 - buy here
Macdonald Linden Hall is always very special to me as it's where Steve and I were married. This deal is fantastic value (it would normally set you back over £100) and perfect for any keen golfers out there.
Family Annual Pass - Life Science Centre Newcastle - buy here
Life Science Centre is super easy to get to and hosts a huge variety of events throughout the year. I love that it's all indoors too and is a gift that can be used in all weathers. From Dino Jaws to Planetarium Shows and the chance to take part in real experiments - this gift will be loved by families with children of all ages.
BrewDog Beer School, Tutored Tasting and Cheese Pairings for 2 - £19.99 - buy here
I'm super tempted to buy this for Steve as beer and cheese are two of his biggest loves! I think this is a fab gift for beer lovers.

This is the perfect gift for cinema lovers. As well as receiving 2 cinema tickets, you're supporting the cinema and will receive £2 off film tickets for a full year.
Afternoon Tea for 2 at Patisserie Valerie - £19 - buy here
I've yet to try afternoon tea at Patisserie Valerie but with a city centre location, it's a fab gift choice for those who love cake and rely on public transport.
Visit Ouseburn Farm and support their Wish List - details here
Toddlers especially love a trip to the farm and Ouseburn Farm is a local favourite. It's free to visit but they rely heavily on donations. Why not pledge to take a toddler you know to the farm for a visit and buy a gift from the farm's donation wishlist to show your support?
1 hour Bird of Prey Experience with North East Falconry - £16 - buy here
No matter how many times we visit a Birds of Prey experience, we always love it and never get bored. I think this makes a wonderful gift for animal lovers or tricky to buy for teens.
