Hi Stacey. I’m looking for a gift for my brotherwho has recently moved to the UK. He’s really quite into bungee jumping but I can’t seem to find any bungee jumping locations or schools here in London. Do you know of any? Or know of anyone who might? I really need some input here! Look forward to hearing back from you,

Bailey

Dear Bailey,

I, like you, have an adrenaline-hungry brother who is always keen to try out crazy things like bungee jumping! ;-) So, luckily, I have an answer to your question! Now it’s just a matter of your budget and your brother’s preferred bungee experience. Here are a few of my brother’s favourite locations (he was oh-so happy to rattle off lists when I got him on the phone, so I’ve tried to narrow them down a bit by activity type):

1.  The 160ft Bungee. This is the ’standard’ bungee experience, and is easily accesible within London.

2. The 160ft forwards and backwards bungee. This is a variation on the standard bungee experience … your brother will get to jump forwards and backwards off of the highest heights! I can’t imagine jumping backwards!!! But, that being said, my brother says it’s quite an adventure!

3. The crazy indoor bungee experience. The name says it all! it’s a thrill-a-minute, non-stop crazy bungee jump that takes place inside an enormous warehouse. Expect flashing laser lights, dry ice smoke and a range of other special effects! This is on my brother’s to-do list and is not for the faint-hearted!

I hope this helps you!

Do let me know how it all goes,

x Stacey

Summer Day Activities for your brother

Dear Stacey, you recommended a Lamborghini Driving Day to someone the other day. It looked really good. However, I spoke to a friend of mine in Edinburgh and he said that he’s done something similar and it was really boring – the track was nothing more than a drag strip and the driving time was limited to only a few minutes. What should I do? I need to find a gift for my brother asap and I don’t want it to be a dud!

Ben.

Dear Ben,

It can be very frustrating when you buy something and expect one thing, but then end up receiving another. That’s why a lot of people are afraid to buy things online nowadays – you never know what you’re going to get! My recommendation to you is this: watch the video before you buy it!


What I mean is, I post videos here so that you can actually see the experiences that I’m talking about. It’s no good me telling you how amazing it is to drive a Lamborghini – you have to see it for yourself.

Here is a video of the particular Lamborghini driving experience I recommended:

See how fun and exciting it all looks? And that’s exactly what you’re going to get on the big day. It’s good to know that your brother will be able to drive a genuine Lamborghini Gallardo around a real track, not a half-baked drag strip. You were right when you said that this looks amazing!

So the point is, make sure you know what you’re buying before you actually pay for it. Check out the pictures, read the descriptions and the key info, and if possible, watch the video! It will make all the difference to your peace of mind and your brother’s big day.

I hope that your brother has an amazing day in his dream car!
