#LiveaLittle marks our dedication to grabbing life by the horns, and our insistence that you do too. Formerly #BucketList, this campaign has seen intrepid bloggers scale underground caves, break the speed limit at the Silverstone racing track and relish the nostalgia of the Northern Belle luxury train. Last time, we sent Sophie Up at The O2, to climb atop the iconic O2 Arena in Greenwich via a specially constructed walkway. But this time…  Thames Rockets Powerboating  With spring’s brighter mornings and milder temperatures descending on London, we thought the time was right to turn our attention to water sports. The lovely folk at Thames Rockets offer Powerboating for Two, an experience…

Water sport is the new IN thing and the industry has enjoyed a titanic jump in popularity over the past few years (see what I did there?). In a study from 2015, 12.4 million people in the UK participated in a water sports activity – this number has surely increased since. It’s no surprise really; many babies swim before they can walk. In recent years, scientists have made advancements into the study of water on human perception. They believe we have something called ‘blue mind’. According to prominent marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols, this is a “Mildly meditative state characterised by calm, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general happiness”…

With 2018 well and truly underway, we have embarked on our mission to make it the year to #LiveaLittle! Forget comfort zones and playing it safe, it’s time to seize the day and jump headfirst into some exciting new activities. This month, I (Red Letter Days’ Sophie) was lucky enough to be sent on my very own #LiveaLittle adventure, swapping solid ground for city heights at Up at The O2. Heights usually send my legs to jelly, so I was slightly apprehensive about the climb, however, excitement outweighed the fear by far. Up at The o2 Since its construction in 2000 to mark the start of the third millennium, The O2…

Turning our back on 2017 has been the easiest break-up ever 😘 We’re happily waving goodbye to some of the most ridiculous trends known to man (avo-lattes and fidget spinners, need I say more? 🙄) and drawing a line under what we can only describe as some disagreeable world events. However, despite last year’s turmoil, we’re resolved to make 2018 better. Unlike our ex, it promises to be HOT… and that isn’t a global warming joke. A post shared by Sarah Andersen (@sarahandersencomics) on Dec 30, 2017 at 7:34am PST This year, forget the boring old resolutions. Sure, you could sack-off sugar or abstain from alcohol (even though they are the only…

Our last Bucket List, A Silverstone Single-Seater Experience with Badger GP, was a rubber-burning speed fest around a world-famous track. This time we left the ground far behind with Aerobatic Flying. It’s just one of our heart-stopping Flying Experiences available across the UK. On our continuing quest to help fun-lovers tick items off their bucket lists, we sent one of our favourite bloggers to test out this Red Letter Days gift experience. Milly, of Mini Adventures, is a bona fide wanderluster, London-lover and all-round adventurer. She’s been to far-flung corners of the planet, chronicling her envy-inducing activities, but flying a plane was something she had yet to try out. Luckily for us, she…

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…
