Wedgwood Countryside
Gifts for Her
Give her a gift to remember from Red Letter Days this Christmas.
Give the number one woman in your life a Red Letter Days experience this Christmas and she’ll be saying thank you for the rest of the year. With a wealth of choice, including Rally Driving and Tandem Skydiving for thrill-seekers to Theatre Evenings and Trips on the Orient Express for those wanting a touch of luxury, there is a special something for every special lady.
If the pressure of Christmas has left her wanting to drive off into the sunset at high speed, there are plenty of driving thrills to be experienced with Red Letter Days. Women Only Rally Driving (£149) will hone road skills in a comfortable environment, completely free of the biggest road hazard – a moaning man! For the woman that has luxury, kudus and speed in mind, then she’ll delighted to drive a fabulous Ferrari. She can try Ferrari Thrill (£99), Classic Ferrari Thrill (£125) or Ferrari Experience (£250). Or if mum is fed up of falling over the kids toys, put her behind the wheel of either a double decker bus, fire engine or articulated lorry – Big Toys (£185) designed to give grown-ups big fun.
High-flying ladies can satisfy their appetite for the unusual with a breathtaking Tandem Skydive (£275), which includes 30 seconds of freefall, or take a more controlled approach with Bodyflying (£29), Body Flying Experience (£99) or Extended Body Flying for two (£390), which is all about freefalling and floating on air in an indoor wind tunnel – so all the thrills without the need for a plane or parachute.
The woman that defies convention or category will find it impossible to resist the short, sharp thrill of Bungee Jumping (£59), Indoor Bungee Jumping (£59), Bridge Bungee Jumping (£75), Indoor Double Bungee (£115), Tandem Bungee Jumping (£115) or The Bungee Double (£115). A few a seconds of pure adrenaline as they bounce off a bridge or crane, hurtling towards land or water. The head rush of Harness Sphereing for Two (£65) or Eight (£250) or Aqua Sphereing for One (£55), for Two (£65), for Three (£75) or for Three with Three Rolls (£225) may last a minute or two, but the memory of tumbling down a hill in a giant, plastic bubble at high velocity will last a lifetime.
Back to earth but no less rewarding, are experiences designed with more cultural pleasures in mind. She’ll see London in a whole new light with a Sunday Lunch Jazz Cruise on the Thames (£99) or Thames Dinner (£199) or Lunch (£99) Cruise plus a Flight on the London Eye, all for two people. For the ultimate romantic gesture, why not transfer the action to France and float off on a Lunch Cruise in Paris for Two (£425)? A great atmosphere, iconic landmarks and first-class food make these more than the average boat trip.
Any other gift this Christmas will be upstaged by a Theatre Evening. From a unique backstage tour plus tickets for the long-running ‘Les Miserables’ or ‘Phantom of the Opera’ to top-price theatre tickets and a pre-show dinner at a West End restaurant, the show will always go on with these magical experiences. Theatre Evening for Two (£125) or Backstage Theatre Tour plus Tickets for Two (£160).
Why not create a ‘Brief Encounter’ romantic moment with a trip for two on the timelessly elegant Orient Express British Pullman Day Trip for Two (£650) or Steam Hauled Orient Express Trip for Two (£799). Whether enjoying lunch and champagne on a ride through the Kent countryside or taking in a full day complete with excursion and dinner, this will be a journey to remember.
If you have a mum keen to make the most of ‘me time’, a partner wanting to pursue a new interest or daughter who would like to try something different, how about a hobby that might well turn into an obsession? Our Wedgwood Experience and Lunch (£49) or Wedgwood Experience and Lunch for Four (£195) provide hands-on experience with clay and creating a pot, as well as a fascinating tour of the pottery. An Introduction to Polo (£149) or Polo Day (£449) is a chance to perfect the pukka chukah, proving that this elegant sport on horseback is not just for royalty and Argentinian ranchers. For the mum who feels like family life is a constant round of juggling commitments and walking a tightrope, why not let her try the real thing with Circus Skills Experience (£57) or Circus Skills Experience for Four (£215), where she will even get a go on the flying trapeze.
And finally it’s time for tea. Whether that’s a full English tea (complete with dainty sandwiches, scones and pastries) plus a Tour of Kensington Palace for Two (£99), or teeing off on the golf course for a Beginner’s Masterclass (£99) or Lesson with a PGA Golf Pro (£99), these are experiences to get her buzzing.
From once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to try something unusual, to a passion that will last for years to come, a Red Letter Experience is not just for Christmas – it’s for life!
We have a vast variety of gifts for her to choose from.

Wedgwood $3.98 With its familiar white classical figures against a pale-blue background, Wedgwood has been one of the most recognizable brand names in the world for more than two hundred years?the epitome of quality and luxury?and the Enlightenment?s most remarkable success story. Born into a family of struggling potters, Josiah Wedgwood amassed a fortune that, at his death in 1795, was valued at the equivalent of $3.4 billion in today?s dollars and helmed an empire that stretched from England to Russia to the United States. As a member of the famous Lunar Society, whose members included James Watt, Joseph Priestley, and Erasmus Darwin, he combined rationality with bold experimentation, revolutionizing the business model of his time with a series of innovations that have continued to this day: ? Organizing skilled labor in one of the world?s earliest factories ? Encouraging employee loyalty by offering long-term contracts that included health insurance and pension plans ? Changing the very notion of shopping by utilizing showrooms and traveling salesmen The story of how phenomenal wealth affected the lives of a family and of the turbulent political climate that threatened their very livelihood, this vivid and compelling portrait of a pioneer of commercial culture is sure to be a hit with loyal collectors and the business market alike. |
