Why Skydiving Is The Best Gift 

What is special about skydiving? We’re so glad you asked! Although, it’s a little tricky to answer that question – and we know dancing around, screaming “Skydiving is awesome, because it is!!!” isn’t exactly compelling!

For many, skydiving is a life-changing experience. Taking the literal leap pushes your preset limits, floods you with adrenaline, and offers an unparalleled sense of freedom that leaves you craving it time and time again. Giving someone a jump has potential to change their entire outlook on life! 

And if skydiving is a bucket-list item, you can give the gift of a big ol’ checkmark!! 

What Special Occasions Deserve A Skydive? 

We think any occasion (AKA – every single day) deserves a skydive! BUT, if you’re looking for something a bit more specific when it comes to one of the best Milwaukee experience gifts …

Birthdays. 

Cake and candles? Off-tune singing? Streamers and balloons? The thought that goes into a run-of-the-mill birthday celebration definitely counts, but with a wee bit more effort you can make it extra level! Is skydiving a good birthday present? Absolutely! Replace the norm with freefall at 120 mph, stunning views, and the most memorable birthday experience ever. 

Anniversaries. 

Anniversary jumps can be given by you (as someone’s partner), or by anyone! Taking the biggest leap of faith from an airplane is the coolest way to honor your friend’s love, or the journey made together throughout life. Imagine being able to reminisce on the videos of your jump with your special someone for years to come. Skydiving together helps to forge an unbreakable bond! 

We would also like to note that anniversary jumps can be for all sorts of anniversaries – one year at the new job, six months in recovery, and the like! Skydiving celebrates ALL of life’s timelines. 

Graduations. 

Why not launch the grad in your life into their next big adventure!? Help them celebrate escaping the clutches of the classroom by getting their knees in the breeze! Remind them to seize opportunities to test their mettle and gain personal growth. 

Lifetime Achievements. 

Did your partner pass an important exam? Or your bestie finally ditch that not-so-good relationship? Did a parent just retire? Revel in their accomplishment with a skydive! 

Holidays. 

A skydiving gift certificate for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or Mother’s Day or Father’s Day is super unexpected, and incredibly special!

How To Present A Skydiving Gift 

Aahhh, now for the fun part. If you’ve decided that a giving the leap of a lifetime is the way to go (because you’re the coolest gift-giver EVER), here’s some creative ways to give skydiving gifts: 

  • Cake. Get “Jump Into Your Next Adventure!” or “Next Stop: Skydiving” written on a cake.
  • Balloons. Fill balloons with confetti and one with a skydiving gift certificate. Have your recipient pop them to reveal their gift. This would also work well with a piñata! 
  • Photo album. Put a photo album together of their coolest adventures, leaving the last few pages empty with a note about going skydiving – woo-hoo! 
  • The ultimate surprise. Our personal favorite … just drive your gift recipient to the dropzone the day-of! Talk about the biggest and best shock ever! 

Who Is A Skydiving Gift For? 

Are there any restrictions to who can skydive? Yep! Although our industry prides itself on being exceptionally inclusive, there are some limitations when it comes to skydiving: 

  • Medical concerns. Heart issues? Neck or spine concerns? Pregnancy? All of these are a cause to pause when booking a skydive. Tandem jumping while pregnant is an immediate no, and we encourage the green light from a doctor for other medical considerations prior to booking. 
  • Weight considerations. For tandem skydives, we have a weight restriction of 260 lbs. We never intend to be discriminatory, this is only to ensure we keep you and our instructor’s safety and comfort at the forefront! 
  • Age restrictions. There is no maximum age to skydive, but you must be at least 18 years old to jump (proven by a valid, government-issued photo ID). 

What About Solo Skydiving? 

Know someone who did a tandem skydive and loved it? We’re not surprised. If they’re ready to learn how to skydive solo, give them a learn to skydive gift certificate! The requirements are a bit different than they are for first-timers – a 200 lb weight limit and at least one tandem skydive.

Jumpstarting someone’s skydiving journey is one of the best feelings, for you and them. Doing anything for the first time is intimidating, and having that extra vote of confidence can be just the boost they need to take to the sky. Get a skydiving gift certificate today!
