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!

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding gift for a cute couple then I must recommend this amazing couples makeover and photoshoot which I found on a half-price sale! At 50% off, it’s only going to set you back £39.00 which is an absolute bargain for such a stunning wedding gift! The lucky couple will get to sit down with a professional make-up artist for a quick discussion of the look that they want to achieve in their photoshoot, and then they’ll head out to the studios for the most unforgettable time! They can take with up to four outfits to change into on the set so they can really diversify their new photo album! This is a great engagement gift or wedding gift and will make a fabulous addition to a truly unique wedding photo album! The best part of this experience is that it really makes you feel like you’re extra-special, and who better to share with than your partner and best friend?

This is going to sound ultra-cheesy but my best friend shares her birthday with her fiance. I know it’s weird – and she’s older, by a year. But the point is: I’m tired of getting them separate gifts for their bday when I should just be getting one! I was thinking of getting them a dinner or something but I want to get them something more memorable. Any ideas?

Annabel

Dear Annabel,

That is quite unusual! But it’s also quite sweet, in a way I think you may have been on the right track with the dinner idea, only it needed a little tweaking. Instead of getting them a dinner that they can only enjoy once, why not treat them to a dinner cooking course where they will learn a new skill that they can put to good use in their new life together? AND they’ll still get to have their dinner as they taste all the delicious results of their course with their instructor!

Treat them to a cooking course with master chef Keith Burke and you’ll definitely give them a day they’ll remember. Burke is a Michelin Star chef and has cooked for some of the most popular celebrities and restaurants. He offers a number of fine cooking courses including Thai Cooking, Italian Cooking, and even a market fresh cooking class which sources fresh ingredients from a top London market.

They’ll have such a fun time together learning about the different kitchen tips and tricks – you can be sure that this will definitely be a birthday to remember! I can tell you now that Keith Burke is an amazing teacher and a magnificent chef – I tried one of his courses and it was truly phenomenal. I had so much fun and I met a bunch of nice people on the course that I still talk to! It’s such an easy and comfortable environment.

Best of all, your friend and her fiance will have a special new skill-set that they can apply to their delicious dinners whenever they feel like it! Yum!

I hope that helps Annabel,
