Some Christmas presents are made or sharing, and with a Red Letter Days experience you can give a loved one something extraordinary, and the best thing is that you both get to enjoy it!
We cant promise a mid-air encounter with Santas reindeer but why not rise above the stress and strain of Christmas in a Hot Air Balloon (395 for two) and soak up the tranquillity and stunning scenery below, while enjoying a romantic moment with a partner. Recover from the excesses of the holiday season on a Health Spa Break for Two (500), where you will bothreceive a well-earned pamper and relax in the luxurious surroundings of a leading spa.
If the drinking and toasting at New Year has left you with a taste for discovering more about a decent vintage, why not take someone on the Vinopolis Experience with Lunch for Two (99). Eat a three-course lunch at the award-winning Cantina Vinopolis before going on a fascinating virtual tour of the wine world, complete with sampling and a cocktail. Wine appreciation can be taken a step further on an Overnight Wine Tasting Break in the Country with Dinner (250), where an evening of wine discovery and tasting is followed by a fabulous night in a country hotel.
Anyone that has donned a Captain Jack Sparrow costume for a New Years Eve party will be ready to try life on the ocean wave for real with Tall Ship Sailing for Two (295). While you are climbing up to the crows nest on the look out for pirates, trust your other half to take the helm and steer the ship. For those that prefer a more sedate life on the water, a Sunday Lunch Jazz Cruise on the Thames (99) or Thames Dinner (199) or Lunch (99) Cruise plus a Flight on the London Eye, are a ideal for couples wanting to see the sights, enjoy great food and each other on one unforgettable journey.
For a post-festive tonic, take a breath of fresh air and venture towards the great outdoors for Horse Riding in the Country (149). Just get in the saddle and get to know your horse and each other as you develop riding skills with the perfect backdrop of the English countryside. If animals are your shared passion, you will both enjoy Dolphin and Whale Watching (75), where the coastal wildlife sightings may also include sharks, seals and porpoises, as well as local birds.
By the time the last bit of wrapping paper has been placed in the recycling bin, there is a good chance that youll both be tired of turkey and over mince pies for at least the next twelve months. Why not get hooked on a far more healthy food experience with Sushi School for Two (149)? With a Yo! Sushi chef acting as a guide, you can both discover how to mould maki rolls and shape sashimi, before taking home the finished delicacies in a bento box.
To wash away your worries, enter the intimate surroundings of the Rasul Temple (99 for Two), apply the healing chakra muds to one another, breathe in the herbal-infused steam before the cleansing properties of the tropical rainfall leave you refreshed and ready to face the world together.
For the ultimate gift that needs to be shared, it has to be the Le Manoir Break for Two (749). This beautiful hotel and restaurant is located in the heart of the Cotswolds, and has rightfully made a culinary legend of Raymond Blanc, the proprietor and chef. Two people will feast on a five-course meal in the two-star Michelin establishment, spend a night in a Junior Suite then enjoy a delicious French breakfast the following morning. Its all a world away from turkey sandwiches and Christmas pudding.
So Christmas is over for another year, and the relatives and houseguests have finally left the building. With Red Letter Days, you can now enjoy the one thing that money cant buy (and doesnt require batteries) - quality time with a loved one doing something truly amazing.
