Men and women are often painted as the polar opposites of each other, and not just in the obvious ways. Whereas women are mainly thought to be concerned with hair, makeup, shoes and all the soft, nice things in life, men are often seen as liking all the masculine things, beer, cars, sport and other, manly pursuits. However right or wrong these may be (and there must be at least a little truth in something so pervasive!), these stereotypes stick, and in this way you can see your giving of gifts being tailored to fit these expectations.

So, as the title suggests, you may well be looking for gift ideas that "put him in the driving seat" and, luckily, there are a whole host of opportunities to do this. With the increase in number and popularity of so called Experience Days, there are innumerable ways in which you can put the man in your life in charge of some of the most impressive machines on the planet. You simply turn up, and are taken on an experience that you will not get every day, making for memorable gifts for him, or just a treat for someone special!

First of all, we have to address what most men tend to ...
... love the most, and that is cars. Experience Days that are available on the net can put you in control of some of the finest automotive machines on the planet. When you consider the last phrase, I defy the fact that Ferrari would not have jumped into your head. The evocative colours and the sheer elegant power of the Ferrari brand, plus the stirring sight of that bucking horse on the badge, make Ferrari one of the most desirable marquees in the entire world.

As gifts for him, you would not be going far wrong in seating your man behind the wheel of one of these. Ferrari cars on offer include the famous 360 and, after a little bit of instruction so you can get the best out of the car, you are loosed on the iconic Silverstone track for three thrilling laps. Suffice to say, it makes for a brilliant day throwing a great car like that around the home of British motor racing.

Having said that, not all gift ideas for him need to be thought of in terms of having his feet on the ground! Where a lot of people dream of speed on the ground, as many people admire the freedom and exhilaration of flight, and those people should be pleased that they can be put in the pilot's seat, as opposed to driving seat. You can get time in a helicopter, a hang glider or even a hot air balloon, but many will want themselves in charge of an actual aircraft.

And so, one experience day on offer is the Flying Lesson Experience. This begins with a walk around the aircraft, to get used to the plane, and then the instructor takes off and shows you the basics. Then, it is your turn to live out your Maverick/Top Gun fantasies as you feel the plane respond to your light touch and see the great views of the area sprawled out below you. By putting him in the driving seat here, you are giving him a brilliant gift that will not be soon forgotten.

Now, there are a multitude of different gift ideas for him that put him in the driving seat, including powerboat driving, 4x4 off-road driving and even a military driving day for a group of your favourite boys, but for the sake of brevity I cannot go into these here. In fact, the last idea I wanted to show you is something quite niche, but something very unique and enjoyable.

Have you ever wanted to drive a monster truck? I can imagine that a lot of men among us will have, and with the Monster Truck Driving Experience you can do just that. You turn up on the day and after a practise course in a hi-view jeep, including deliberate rolls, you then take control of a 7.5 litre beast with 66 inch tyres, the largest monster truck in the UK. Using this animal of a vehicle you careen over some rough terrain before crushing some cars. It goes without saying that this is truly an adrenaline-filled day amongst all the other gifts for him.

So, all in all, there are multitudes of ways to put yourself, or the man in your life, in the driving seat of some truly brilliant machines.
