I’ve definitely got the ‘hot deal’ bug after hunting around for all of those great spa and pamper day packages earlier this week! Today, however, I’m going to share something completely different: my TOP THREE hot deals that are all BUY ONE GET ONE FREE! These are the ideal gifts and gift experiences for couples (and even best friends!).

(1) BUY ONE GET ONE FREE on Cook, Eat and Run lunchtime cookery class

This is a great lunchtime opportunity to steer clear away of the sandwiches and canteen-food that you’re used to eating! This week, why not take your lunch hour in an upmarket cookery school that offers a fabulous 30-minute cooking lesson where you’ll be able to master the basics of grande cuisine … and then enjoy the fruits of your labour afterwards for a delicious luncheon! You can choose to take your food away (back to the office) or sit down and eat with your classmates if your offices are nearby. The school is located in central London so it’s really easy and convenient to get to.

(2) BUY ONE GET ONE FREE on the luxurious sunseeker powerboat experience

If you love being outdoors and you can’t wait for summer then you should definitely book this experience! It’s fast, fun and gives you a taste of the good life

(3) BUY ONE GET ONE FREE on the World-Class Chef Cooking Course

You and your partner or friend will get to learn how to whip up magical delights for a two-course meal in this hour-long cooking course. Yummy! This is the best gift for someone who likes to be the hostess with the most(ess) or for those who need to learn a few kitchen tricks to make dinner times more exciting!

Just in time for the weekend, I hope you enjoy these!

Yes I agree, our health is of the utmost importance! And it’s good that you mention this at Easter too – everyone is going to be tripping over each other to find the perfect Easter eggs when they could be treating each other with healthy activities that are fun too! There are loads of fun Easter activities that you could enjoy like Sphereing or Zorbing, and there are some healthy food options as well. Here are some of my favourite classes that you might share with a loved one for the perfect Easter gift that is pro healthy living:

Keith Burke’s MARKET FRESH cookery course is a fabulous introduction to healthy eating. You are guided around one of London’s finest fresh produce market to purchase lovely fresh ingredients before heading on to Keith Burke’s (Michelin Star Chef!) kitchen to learn how to prepare them. This is a great cooking course for couples – - I hear that it is heaps of fun!

Another cooking course you might consider is the quick and easy “cook, eat and run” course which is taking the nation by storm. This incredibly popular course is ideal for those of you who don’t have much time to spend enjoying the culinary arts but would like to give it a go anyway… you learn quick and easy recipes that you can cook up in half an hour, and then you sit down with your classmates and enjoy your cooked meal together afterwards. The recipes are delicious and the class has a very friendly atmosphere. Have a quick look at this video to see what I mean:

And finally, my personal favourite is the THAI COOKERY course, also hosted by Keith Burke. If you love Thai food (and I DO!) then you’ll love this course! Keith is friendly and encouraging, the kitchen facilities are superb and the people are all so nice! I had a brilliant time there, I can’t wait to go back! And best of all my new Thai Green Curry recipe is a hit at all of our dinner parties! This is a must do this Easter.

Good luck with finding the perfect Easter Gift, and I hope that you manage to achieve those six-pack abs you mentioned!

Hi there, just wondering if you had any good ideas for me. I need to find an awesome easter gift for my bf and I want this to be a special day for us!! I’ve seen the other things you suggested and they all seem so good so pls help me too!

Dear Lindsay,

Thank you, I’m glad that you’ve found my ramblings inspirational And I’m only too happy to help.

I think that you are looking for a ‘couples’ experience for your boyfriend – something really fun and exciting that you can enjoy together this Easter. I’ve got three basic ideas for you – all of which are great ways to spend time with your loved one.

(1) Go do something nice like treating your boyfriend to a decadent dinner with theatre tickets for two. I’ve heard that Avenue Q (pictured to the right) is amazing and definitely worth seeing so I’d recommend going to see that or one of the classics like Grease or Sister Act to make sure that you have a good time!

(2) Go do something indulgent and spoil your boyfriend to a couple’s makeover and photoshoot where you’ll both be given star treatment as you get a fabulous makeover and then pose under the spotlight while a professional snaps up amazing pictures.

(3) Go do something crazy like take part in a thrilling Hobie Cat sailing adventure! If you’re an outdoorsy couple then this is probably just up your street. Have a look:

That does look heaps of fun! Take advantage of the long weekend and get your feet wet!

I hope that this helps Lindsay,

If you want to spoil your other half to some fun Easter antics that you can enjoy together then here are three fab ideas you might like:

Enjoy a fantastic ‘cook, eat and run’ cooking course that will show you how to whip up gourmet cuisine in just a few minutes! You’ll also get to sit down and enjoy your tasty treats together with the rest of your class. This is a must do for food-loving couples who love the tastes of fine food but don’t have the time to spend hours mixing ingredients.

You might like to beat a hasty retreat out of the confines of the city this Easter and enjoy a two night trip to a fabulous Tipi Eco Retreat.  This is a truly unique getaway that’ll be heaps of fun! Take advantage of the long weekend and have a little rest before you head back to work.

And finally, if you want an action-packed weekend that is second to none then pull out all the stops and enjoy a Buckmore Race Evening for Two! This is a great way to bond over some friendly competition and it makes for excellent outdoor adventures this Easter. You’ll be able to race against each other (and other competitors as well) to see who comes up tops in the speedy time trials! If this sounds like your idea of fun then check out this amazing video to learn more:
