If you've got a specific experience gift (think Stock Car Ride Along, Dinner Cruise, or Hot Air Balloon Ride), we recommend that you book it within 12 months of the issue date to make sure you don't miss out on the fun. Of course, we get it - life can get in the way sometimes. That's why you can still choose a date beyond 12 months - just keep in mind that there may be a price increase at the time of booking.
