Unique Gifts This Christmas

Once Christmas does come around, as it does so quickly every year, it is easy to find yourself in a Christmas present buying rut...socks for dad, earrings for mum and bath smellies for sister. Why not break the mould this year, surprise your kin with a gift they'll love? We are all fans of treating others (and sometimes ourselves!) to something a bit different, and here is our list of the best unique Christmas gift ideas to get you inspired.Everyone loves Spa days, but why not a spa day with a twist. For all those Chocoholics, they can indulge in the London Chocolate Spa Day, this fabulous say includes a pure cocoa and brown sugar body wrap, followed by warm milk, cocoa and brown sugar scrub. Your toes will be lovely toasty in warm vanilla and sugar soak...the whole experience will be heaven to your senses, with the delicious chocolate sent. All this lasts 2 and a half hours and includes a hot chocolate to sip and enjoy whilst being pampered.Carrying on the food and spa theme, the Milk and Honey spa day is another experience that will not be forgotten! The Savana Milk and Honey Body experience uses the two ingredients to nourish the skin, exfoliate and leave it feeling refreshed and revitalised - perfect for banishing that dry, dehydrated winter skin! This Spa day includes a manicure and pedicure too, meaning you'll be pampered top to toe.If you're looking for something a little less extreme, the Hot Stone Massage is a fabulous reinvention of the traditional back massage. Currently the fave of all the A list celebrities, it improves circulation, and detoxes the kidneys and liver - perfect for post-Christmas indulgence! It is said to be the most relaxing all of massages with the warm stones calming properties, it is the key to ultimate bliss, perfect for those who need time out of a hectic lifestyle.For animal lovers this Christmas, we recommend the Falconry Experience Day. A day not to be missed, it gives an up close and personal experience, handling Owls, Hawks and Falcons, and seeing them in free flight. The day finishes and ends with a cup of tea or coffee and a talk on the beautiful birds.For those who love a bit of adrenaline, The Valley Flight day is a trip on the wild side with a ride in an open cockpit bi-plane. You'll get a taster as a pilot and enjoy amazing views over the Severn Valley. The experienced instructors will guide you through the day, and may even be persuaded to let you do a few aerobatic manoeuvres for yourself! So, if you've got a brave relative, this would be the perfect gift to give them for that adrenaline rush.For something really unique, and a one-time experience, hop aboard the Murder Mystery Express for the weekend...this fantastic package includes a 2 night stay in the fantastic Quorn Country Hotel, and a night aboard the train where you will be entertained being detectives and indulging in a 5 course meal whilst you try to solve the mystery. The perfect weekend to treat the curious in us all!So, whatever you decide to buy your loved ones this year, think outside the box and get them something that not only will surprise them, but something they'll love and treasure too, whether spa days will take their fancy or something a little more extreme!
