Romeo & Juliet
Romance is on their minds, as is escaping their families, so give them the gift where they can float away on the breeze and leave the world, and it’s worries far away. Yes, this couple will just love a romantic balloon flight that includes a glass of bubbly. For extra romance, book a sunrise or sunset flight and cuddle-up as the world below just drifts by.
Annie Oakley
This woman, standing only 5ft tall in her socks, could take most people on when it comes to a shooting match. But she may appreciate a bit of practice so she would just love clay pigeon shooting. Then again, she may appreciate brushing-up on her skills with an air rifle. But, let’s face it, put a gun in this woman’s hands and she could out-shoot anyone, so you’d be safe on either option. Just don’t argue with her, or you might find yourself at the wrong end of a shotgun!
David and Victoria
Well, David’s a happy chappie and can do things with footballs that the rest of us can only dream of. But Victoria always looks so sad. Maybe she needs to cheer up a bit. We doubt she could keep that sour look on her face for long if she tried bubble football. It’s downright hilarious. You wouldn’t look very fashionable, though, Victoria, as you’d be wearing a giant plastic bubble over your head. But, at least no one would see whether you were still pulling a long face or laughing your face off. David would probably try and play the beautiful game using his undoubted skills, but he wouldn’t get past the first tackle before the whole thing went wrong.
Sherlock Holmes
The man is undoubtedly a genius when it comes to solving the most baffling crimes. While we would be tempted to see if he could solve the mysteries, riddle the riddles, and crack the codes in these incredible escape rooms, it would be a bit like a busman’s holiday. So, we think we would send Sherlock and his sidekick, Dr Watson, off to do something very different so he could exercise a bit and get out of that stuffy office he likes to hang around in. Yes, we think we would send him paintballing. Not much time for thinking here, Sherlock, because you have to learn to move fast, duck and dive and avoid that flying paint.
Santa & Mrs Claus
Now, these two deserve a treat. Mrs Claus has been making lists and checking them twice. Transferring people from the lists ‘naughty and nice’ and probably been planning her own Christmas too. Well, we all know what Santa gets up to at this time of year, and it’s not always easy, what with a lot of places not even having a chimney anymore, and him being so, well what can one say, fat! So, he has a lot to do, and he’s getting on a bit. So, we reckon they need to chill out on a beach somewhere and do a bit of cool dude surfing. Pass the pina colada, Santa and lay-off those mince pies, don’t you know they are the most fattening thing you could eat?
The Royal Family
They like to do things properly and practice their royal decorum in everything they do, so we think they might like to go a bit silly and throw caution to the wind – just once, anyway! They’re all a dab-hand at driving, so we’ve put them on quad bikes, or off-road karts so they could get down and dirty on some of the incredible off-road trails and tracks at these sites. One would probably need a bit of a shower after and maybe a hot toddy to warm-up and calm those royal nerves after hitting bumps, ruts and boulders at full throttle. Kate would have to shed the designer outfits, and her Maj would have to swap the hats for a helmet, but apart from that, they would be good to go.
What activity would you send a famous person on? What activity do you think they’d choose for themselves?
