You want to to give a an unusual gift that\nwill stand out and knock their socks off  &#8211; or knock the socks of the\ngift list, anyway. Some people are easy to buy gifts for others,\nwell, they&#8217;re on your &#8216;gifts for difficult people&#8217; list.

So, what\ndo we do? We huddle up indoors, eat, watch the telly and play games \u2013\nboard or computer games. That&#8217;s great in many ways. It brings\nfamilies together and usually a fun time is had by all. But, and it\nis a big but, many of us get severe cabin fever. We just have to get\noutside and escape the long days and nights locked inside because of\ndreadful weather. You can see these forlorn souls in their Christmas\nsweaters and new boots striking out into the countryside to get a bit\nof fresh air and walk off the all the food they have eaten. But, you\ncan take it a step further, you can really help your family and\nfriends have some mega fun when they need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/winter-walk-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/winter-walk-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/winter-walk-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/winter-walk-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/winter-walk-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/winter-walk.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breakout\nand Have Some Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll be very surprised just how many activities there are right on your doorstep or within easy striking distance. The quickest way to find them all is to go onto the <a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/\"><strong>Geronigo\u00ae<\/strong> <\/a>website, put in your area and a full list will appear. It really is that easy.  So what did you find? <a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/clay-pigeon-shooting\/near\/me?activity_id=5\">Clay pigeon shooting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/go-karting\/near\/me?activity_id=2\">go karting<\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/axe-throwing\/near\/me?activity_id=213\">axe throwing,<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/archery\/near\/me?activity_id=11\"> archery<\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/climbing-walls\/near\/me?activity_id=51\">climbing walls<\/a><strong>? <\/strong>Or maybe your eyes locked into some thing a little more extreme like <a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/bungee-jumping\/near\/me?activity_id=48\">bungee jumping<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/4x4-off-road-driving\/near\/me?activity_id=4\">, 4 x 4 drivin<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/4x4-off-road-driving\/near\/me?activity_id=4\">g, <\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/rally\/near\/me?activity_id=8\">rally driving<\/a><strong>,<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/canyoning\/near\/me?activity_id=174\"> canyoning<\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/survival-skills\/near\/me?activity_id=222\">bush survival<\/a><strong>?<\/strong> Then there are those of you that just want to let off a lot of steam.

If the weather is awful, outdoors may not be an option, unless the activity is better with mud like <a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/quad-biking\/near\/me?activity_id=3\">quad biking<\/a>, but if getting muddy and wet doesn&#8217;t appeal and you just must escape, then do just that. Head for your nearest <a href=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/en\/escape-games\/near\/me?activity_id=226\">escape rooms <\/a>and tax you little grey cells with puzzles and conundrums. You will be indoors, but a very different indoor experience where you get locked in a room and can only escape if you solve the riddles to unlock the door. Call you mates, because they will want in on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bg1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bg1.png 747w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bg1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bg1-601x300.png 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can&#8217;t\nDecide What They&#8217;ll Like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s\neasy.
