A new industry report has placed the spotlight on the UK's gifting market, and Shropshire is making its mark. The Salience Index 2025: Gifts & Gadgets report analyses the biggest names in the industry, ranking brands based on their online presence, visibility, and consumer engagement.

As Shropshire continues to establish itself as a hub for unique and memorable experiences, local company WonderDays is proud to be at the forefront of the gifting revolution.

Shropshire: A Growing Destination for Experience Gifts

With an increasing number of consumers opting for experience gifts over traditional presents, the report highlights a shift in the way people choose to celebrate special occasions. From hot air balloon rides over the Shropshire countryside to luxury spa retreats and immersive adventure days, experience gifting is on the rise – and Shropshire is leading the way.

WonderDays headquartered in Telford, is playing a pivotal role in shaping this trend, offering a range of handpicked experience gifts across the UK. With a focus on adventure, wellness, dining, and short breaks, the company is helping people move away from material gifts in favour of lasting memories.

"It’s fantastic to see experience gifting gaining momentum, and even more exciting to see a Shropshire based company making an impact in this space,"_ said Bron Jones, Head of Content at WonderDays" Our goal has always been to offer something truly special – whether it’s soaring over the countryside in a hot air balloon or enjoying a Michelin starred dining experience.

The Future of Gifting in Shropshire
