Paintball mania has hit the UK… and more specifically, it’s hit my office! It was all my colleagues could talk about yesterday. And you know why? Because my boss has arranged a Spring Team Building Excursion into the paintballing battlefields of the South West. We’ve already been assigned to teams, colours, semi-automatics and paintballs…

Now I’d much rather be gearing up for baking, but paintballing is just fine. I can’t say I’m looking forward to the bruises though! But you should hear the men in my office! They’ve all grown down about ten years! Which makes me think that paintballing is a fantastic gift idea! And not just for kids either! I’d highly recommend this as a fun activity for your husband or significant other … especially if you could look into securing a group booking for him and his mates. It’s not that expensive either: £23.00 gets you entry into an indoor battlefield made up of stairwells, drums, empty rooms, abandoned hallways and laser lights. It also gets you a whopping 200 balls!

So if you’re looking for a fun way to spoil your husband then this is definitely the right thing for a fun-loving guy! And while he’s out, you can treat yourself to a yummy cupcake-making class and enjoy some delicious treats!

If you’re looking to treat your man to a fun day outside for any occasion then you’ve come to the right place: I’ve compiled a list of the top five fun summer day activities that he’ll love!

1. Aqua Sphereing. This is at the top of my list because it combines all the fun of the outdoors with a great way to cool down when it’s getting hot outside. The basic idea is that you jump inside a large inflated sphere, then, before the instructors close it up and push you down a hill, they unload a bucket of water into the sphere with you. You’ll go rolling down the hill for a crazy wet ride that’ll have everyone in stitches with laughter!

2. White water tubing. This is quite a fun adventure activity! I’ve been told that it takes quite a lot of effort to steer one of those things down the rapids! Here, watch this video and see for yourself:

They do look like they’re having fun, don’t they!

3. A jet ski, jet rib or jet bike experience. Your husband will get to choose one of these fun water ‘bikes’ to ride as fast as he likes around the course. I was brave enough to try a jet-ski ride once, and I can tell you, it’s heaps of fun! It’s not at all like you expect: it’s smooth, powerful and easy to manoeuvre.

4. Go-Karting. Outdoor go-karting is supposed to be a lot of fun! A good friend of mine insists that this is the best way to experience “pure driving pleasure” as he put it!

5. Clay pigeon shooting. This was once a very aristocratic hobby but now it’s a lot more accessible to the masses which makes it a whole lot more fun! Loads of people (girls too!) are enjoying being taught how to hit the clay discs that whizz through the air and I for one can tell you how amazing it is to actually hit one of them! You’ll know straight away too – everyone congratulates you and gets very excited when your clay ‘pigeon’ smashes into lots of tiny little pieces.
