Great Christmas Present Ideas from The Gift Gofers

Here are some Christmas gift ideas selected by men and women, boys and girls, of various ages - so you know they'll love them!

Half Day Sailing

Price:
From: Red Letter Days

Ahoy there me hearties! Splice the main brace, shiver me timbers and other such nautical nonsense... there'll be none of that on this experience, which offers an introduction to sailing in a friendly and informal atmosphere. It's great fun - exhilarating and relaxing at the same time, and the best way to experience the beauty and freedom of the open sea. After coffee, biscuits and a safety briefing, your Yachtmaster skipper will introduce you to the basics of sailing and in no time at all you'll be out at sea, either on the Brighton or Southampton Water. If you're feeling energetic you can put theory into practice and take an active part in the afternoon's sailing, but if you'd rather you can just sit back in the cockpit and let the crew do the hard work while you relax and enjoy an afternoon at sea. You'll also have afternoon tea on board. All in all a very civilised approach to a wonderful pastime.

Military Activities Experience

Price:
From: Red Letter Days

You've got to hand it the army - they've definitely got the best wheels. You can't beat driving around in military vehicles and shooting at stuff. You'll be kitted out in a camouflage suit and helmet and given a full safety briefing. During the course of the experience you'll drive three military vehicles, usually a Russian Grozdilka tank, an FV 432 armoured personnel carrier and amphibious Hagglund tracked carrier round a tough terrain track. There are also Humvees and Stalwarts on site. And you'll get the chance to try something from a range of other activities - go out on an SAS woodland patrol, you might learn how to load and fire mortars and muskets (mind your eyebrows), get a real armoury lecture and demo or do clay pigeon shooting. At the end of the session, the best driver will get to crush a car with a 56 ton Chieftain tank! And you even get to keep your camo suit. So why not leave the tv behind and come and get in touch with your rough and ready side out in the fresh air?

Hummer Off Road Driving

Price:
From: Red Letter Days

This is your chance to drive the magnificent H1 Hummer off road - where it belongs! Essentially the Military Humvee under the skin but with a few creature comforts added. This is a 6.2 litre, V8 monster with the power, width and low centre of gravity which combine to give it astounding off-road capability. The Hummer was designed so that it could follow in tank tracks and it is this width that guarantees stability off-road. It can drive on very extreme angles and negotiate frighteningly steep slopes with ease. After a safety briefing and a demonstration from an instructor, you will take the wheel of this fantastic vehicle on a specially designed off-road track. Enjoy driving over all sorts of varied terrain, through water and even negotiating certain obstacles that standard production 4x4's would struggle with! With an automatic gearbox, power steering and full time 4WD, the Hummer will make it all seem effortless. See if this is one beast you can tame.
