    Christmas Cocktail Recipe: Gordon Ramsay Edition

    November 28, 2017 / No Comments

    At Red Letter Days we are well and truly in the Christmas spirit (don’t judge us, November is NOT too early to start celebrating). From big comfy jumpers and evenings tucked up in front of the television to glittering decorations and catchy jingles, there’s so much to be excited about! However, as we’ve previously mentioned, our favourite part by far is the festive fare! We’ve already rounded up the best Winter Warmer Recipes around, and it was such a deliciously thorough collection we had to split it into two parts. Now it’s time to move onto the really important stuff… the booze! Check out a fantastic Christmas cocktail recipe to get…

    Winter Warmer Recipes Part II: #MeatFreeMonday Edition

    November 20, 2017 / No Comments

    Ask anyone what their favourite part of Christmas is and you’re likely to receive this answer… the food! It’s traditional to eat, drink and be merry; stockings are stuffed with gift-wrapped chocolates, tables groan under the weight of decadent delights and drinks cabinets can barely contain the spirits that’ll be used for toasting. While this is obviously lovely, it can be stressful for whoever is in charge of arranging the festivities. If you’re cooking for all your friends and family, the pressure is on to get everything just right. That’s where we come in! We’ve collected some of the best vegetarian winter warmer recipes to whip up this festive season.…

    Winter Warmer Recipes: #MeatFreeMonday Edition

    November 13, 2017 / No Comments

    With winter well and truly knocking on the door, it’s time to prepare with nights tucked up on the sofa, hot chocolate and fabulously fluffy socks. After all, who wants to be out in the Christmas chill? There are plenty of ways to stave off pending ferocious frosts (hot toddy, anyone?) but surely a tummy-thawing meal is top of the list. From roasts and casseroles to family-friendly one pot meals, festive recipes are notorious for being cheery, carby and chock-a-block with hearty ingredients! In honour of #MeatFreeMonday, in the first of two recipe posts, we want to share our top vegetarian winter warmer dishes (because it’s important to keep your…

    Red Letter Days Goes Piaggio Ape Racing

    November 10, 2017 / No Comments

    It’s no secret that we’re mad for motors. The roar of a supercharged engine accelerating out of a corner or the mental gymnastics of negotiating a quad bike trail are our idea of nirvana. Which is why we offer around 500 Driving Experience Days. But as the gifting experts, we also know the importance of the niche, the unique, the intriguing. That’s why we are proud to offer Piaggio Ape Racing. Go-karting is exhilarating, but ape racing is something completely different. After a go in one of these charming three-wheelers, you’ll have a new story to tell, a fresh perspective on track driving and a brand new notch on your motoring…

There’s no better way to get into the festive spirit than by wrapping up warm, sipping on some mulled wine, inhaling the seasonal aroma of spices and browsing a maze of festive food, drink and crafts stools.…
