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!

In my office I’m in charge of ‘entertaining’ our most valued clients with fun activities and amazing outings. That means I’m always on the lookout for good deals and special offers … nothing like getting the best deals for less, I always say! So I was really excited when I came across these special offers – ideal for the guys in your client base:

20% off a Ferrari Driving Experience

Every guy I know will literally do back flips for the chance to drive one of these amazing cars! It’s the perfect way to spoil your client with those ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunities that will really make a great impression!

10% off The Quad Safari Experience

Quad bikes are loads of fun and are just the ticket to get your client’s fun-senses tingling A 10% discount is hard to ignore as well – take advantage of this opportunity to experience first hand what it means to have heaps of fun!

Buy One Get One Free on a Winch Launch Gliding Lesson

Gliding is a phenomenal sport for anyone who has ever wanted to experience what it would be like to soar through the air! I’ve had the lucky opportunity to experience this one and it might be terrifying at first, but once you’re in the air you just can’t get enough! This is a phenomenal offer that gives you one free experience so you can join your client for a fun-filled adventure day!

I love bargain-hunting!

If you run a client-based company and you want to show your high-profiled clients how much you appreciate them then there’s a handy idea that might make all the difference this Easter!

Most companies send their top clients baskets of Easter treats that can easily run up into hundreds of pounds but those (more often than not) are simply passed on to their friends and family members. If you want to get your client something that they will really appreciate this Easter then treat them to a unique chocolate indulgence and sign them up for a Chocolate Making Workshop! Just have a squizz at this video to see what they’d get up to:

Doesn’t that look delicious? These workshops are ideal for food-loving men and women and are the perfect way to treat someone this Easter! The best thing  about this course is that it is run using the finest Green & Blacks chocolate – can you say ‘yum’?! You get to mix and match your ingredients and decorations to come up with your best combination, then you get to take a slab of it home for your personal enjoyment!

This is such a clever way to put a twist on Easter favourites, your clients will love it! You can also get chocolate-making workshops for two so that they can take a friend with them to double the chocolatey goodness.

Hi. Rob here. I’m looking for a good birthday gift for my client – he’s car crazy and he’s driven just about everything under the sun! I need to get him a driving experience or a car-related gift that’ll be completely unique.

Rob.

Dear Rob,

I think I have just the answer to your gift-buying problem! In fact, I might have two answers.

(1) Monster Trucks. These are really huge, really fast, really powerful cars (or trucks, I suppose) that will capture the imagination (and the heart!) of every motoring fan. Watch this video and see what I mean:

That looks like a lot of fun! I can’t imagine driving anything that could go straight over a car, but I’d imagine it would be quite a thrill!

If you think that your client might have already tackled the likes of the Grizzly then perhaps you need something a bit more ‘outlandish’ and exciting. I’m talking about the Wackiest Racers. These are some crazy cars designed to look like other things that will catch you completely off-guard when they start zooming around. I particularly like that the car on the left has a lamp. I can’t imagine how everything is staying in one place! This is a laugh-a-minute experience for motoring enthusiasts who want to say that they’ve really driven everything!

I hope that these ideas inspire you! Let me know if you need anything else,

If you’re looking for a fabulous driving day for the special guy (or girl!) in your life then I’ve got some good news for you! One of my good friends was treated a fabulous gift for his recent birthday and he had the rare opportunity to drive a Lamborghini Gallardo around a race track. Now it sounded like it was an amazing day, but I think I have something even more exciting to tell you.

… now anyone can drive one of their dream cars around a real race track at a very reasonable rate! He came across the best deal and was nice enough to share it with me so I could share it with you. I can only imagine what kind of gift-doors this special bit of information is going to be opening in the near future! Treat friends to a Ferrari challenge and lads to a Lamborghini day, give your aunt the keys to an Audi R8 or go the Full Monty with a tank driving phenomenon! I’m just so excited, I can’t wait to show you what I’ve found!

First of all, let’s have a look at Sean’s Lamborghini that he won’t stop talking about. He keeps saying that it’s something you’ve got to experience for yourself and that no words can describe it. Not very helpful, is he? Have a look at this video to see for yourself what it must be like to drive this dream car:

Looks pretty good doesn’t it? I love cars that bend neatly at the back like that, looks very supercar-ish.

Okay, they also offer a range of other super cars so you can pick out your particular dream vehicle and have a go. I must say, I’ve always been captivated by the styling of the Porsche Carrera 911 so I was quite excited to see that they have this one there as well. And what a good deal!

I could get used to driving one of those! Makes a big change from my Verso I love that there are videos to watch, it makes it so much easier to see what’s actually going on.

There’s also a Ferrari 360 on offer for Ferrari fans. I was recently dragged to the popular Ferrari Shop in London and I must admit, there’s something very appealing about the tell-tale red paint (which is even branded as Ferrari red!) and the very sleek contours.

That looks really exciting! I’m glad to see that other girls like cars too… Mind you, I’m more about what it looks like on the outside than on the inside. I wouldn’t know a carburettor if it fell on my foot!

Then there’s the Aston Martin DB9 which is the car most famous for being James Bond’s first choice. Okay, it’s probably more famous for something else but that’s why I know about it! I am a self-confessed Ian Fleming fan.

Look at it go:

Wow! I love the way they highlighted the red in that video, very neat – it makes it quite distinctive from the Ferrari red, don’t you think?

Let’s not forget the Audi R8 which is a very popular choice for ‘big kids’ and businessmen. It has won hundreds of awards and when I went to ask my colleague why it is that he chose to drive one of these to work every day, he answered simply: ‘It was Playboy’s Car of the Year’. Goodness!

Finally, the last ’single’ car driving experience that you can choose takes place in a Ford RS. You see a lot of these on the road – they’re unmissable with their distinctive orange, green or white paint jobs and their cheeky styling. But I have it on good authority that they’re a whole lot of fun on the race track as well! Sean got taken out for a ‘practice lap’ in one of these before they let him loose in the Lamborghini, and he said it was quite a beastly car.

Look at it zip around! Now if you thought that you’d been given a world of choice here, think again. There’s more where that came from! The clever people behind these fun driving days came up with something for the die-hard drivers out there.

That’s right, I’m talking about versus days. That’s when you take two of the biggest names in race driving and put them head-to-head to see which one handles better, which one is faster, and which one you like better. For example, you might compare the Ferrari with the Lamborghini.

Now that’s going to be a driving day worth doing! What a treat for big car fans. And you know what else could be fun? What about if you put a Aston Martin against Ferrari? Can you imagine James Bond going up against the legendary Jody Shekter or Kimi Raikkonen!

Look at that! You can really let your imagination run wild when you’re coming up with fun versus days!

If you’re looking for a car that has a bit more ‘raw power’ than these muscle machines we’ve already been discussing then you’ll probably appreciate the next item on our line-up: the Aston Martin Vs the Nissan GTR! The GTR is hailed as the Sports Car of the Year, the Motor Trend Car of the Year, Supercar of the Year, Automobile of the Year… etc. I don’t think I need to keep telling you, just watch this video and you’ll understand:

Wow! Did you hear that – a top speed of 195mph! That does seem to put up a bit of tough competition for the Aston Martin. Which one do you think will do better?

Not to be outdone by it’s rivals, the Ferrari makes a come-back to our line-up with a stunning versus day in the form of the Ferrari Vs Audi R8 challenge.

I can’t imagine which one would win – they’re both such super rides! I guess that’s why they let you drive both of them around the track … so you can see for yourself!

And finally, I’ve got a little ‘kicker’ surprise for you. I saved the best for last! If you’re looking for the ultimate driving day for a car enthusiast then you simply have to treat them to a fantastic ‘Full Monty Tank Day’! This one is a winner in my books, and it pulls out all the stops as one of the best gifts I’ve come across:

This is quite a comprehensive video which details everything the lucky guy (or girl) will get to do on the day. I must say, I’m sure every little boy dreams of driving a tank over a real car! Wow.

So there you have it folks. Thanks to Sean for telling us about these great deals! I hope that you all manage to use these as gift inspiration and gift ideas for birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions and important events.

Stacey this is superb! Exactly what I wanted!! Brilliant. Do you think you can do the same for another client of mine? He’s been to London before so I don’t think he wants to do sight seeing. So it’s got to be something unique to London but also not over-the-top touristy. Also, he’s only due in next month if that makes any difference. Thanks so much! ~ Rich.

Readers, you might remember Rich’s question from a few days ago. If not, you can read it here. We came up with a really fun experience for a client of his and I can’t wait to see how it turned out! You can see his response above.

Dear Rich,

I am very pleased that I could help! I do hope that you will let us all know how it went!

As for your other request, I’m sure I can whip up a few magic tricks…

In fact, I have two very good suggestions that you might find appropriate.

The first one is this: why not take your client to see one of London’s famous West-End shows? They’re beautiful, brilliant, and the perfect way to impress someone! Make it a special night out by dazzling your client with top seats and a champagne reception at the show of your choice.  I would highly recommend Chicago which is simply fabulous, as well as the award-winning We Will Rock You which is quite nice because it gets the audience involved with singing and clapping!

The other thing I’d recommend (and I’ve tried this myself) is a cooking course with London’s own top chef Keith Burke. He’s quite a celebrity in the chef world as he’s the top choice of A-list celebrities like Madonna and the Beckhams, and he has a Michelin Star! He has a range of amazing market cooking courses (a nice way to see the less-visited parts of London) and some more ‘traditional faire‘ workshops. Aside from that, he’s quite a charming chap and a lot of fun to be around! This would be quite a treat for any Londoner so I’m sure your client will enjoy it too.

Best of luck Rich,
