Funsherpa: Creating Fun Experiences

Sunday, May 9th, 2010 by TK

Funsherpa.com sells unique adventure and experience gifts that range from rock climbing expeditions to gourmet French cooking classes.  With hundreds of experiences in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco that range from $20 to $200,000, Funsherpa provides gift givers an opportunity to give someone something they’ve always wanted to do.  We believe that gifts should be unforgettable and thoughtful – instead of giving dad another tie or cufflink, why not send him on a fighter jet flight or a fishing expedition?
The service is simple and straightforward.  Customers simply pick and buy something they want to give from a list of fun things to do, and the experience gift certificate can then be sent by email or mailed directly to the recipient.
