SignatureDays.com, the premiere online experience gift company (www.signaturedays.com), announces that its experience gift certificates will be included in the 78th Annual Academy Awards® gift baskets. Each year, celebrity presenters and performers are given the much coveted gift basket, which includes items selected on the basis of individuality, quality and unique appeal. SignatureDays.com offers a diverse range of memorable experiences in 15 major U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Experiences range from kite-boarding and a ride on an America's Cup Sailboat to spa treatments, yoga, personal chefs and private dance lessons.

"We are honored that SignatureDays.com will be a part of the 2006 Academy Awards® Presenters Gift Baskets," said Andrew Playford, the company's founder and CEO.

In years past, gift baskets have contained contents ranging from high-end mattresses to expensive jewelry and watches. "A special experience that can easily be selected with the click of a mouse is something new for Academy Awards® gift recipients," Playford said.

SignatureDays.com experiences are organized into five distinct categories. "Action and Adventure" features experiences like parachuting and NASCAR racing; "Body and Soul" offers spa indulgences, yoga classes or even sessions with personal trainers; "Wine and Gourmet" includes wine-country tours, cooking lessons, and personal chefs; "Self Improvement" offers experiences like dancing, acting, and bartending; while "Unique and Unusual" includes renting Ferraris or biking through the Grand Canyon.

Playford founded SignatureDays.com in early 2004. "We wanted to create a single Internet destination where people could choose from a wide variety of memorable experiences, either for themselves, or as gifts for their friends and loved ones," he said.

Upcoming holidays like Mother's Day and Father's Day are expected to bring a surge in demand from creative gift givers seeking to surprise and indulge, Playford said. Favorite experiences for Valentine's Day included in-home cooking lessons and couples massages.
