    Doing or Having: Which is More Important to Us?

    January 17, 2018 / No Comments

    A now-famous Eventbrite study confirmed something we had long suspected: that millennials (those born between 1980 and 1996) are favouring real life experiences to material consumerism. ‘Well, of course,” we thought “Doing or having, it’s a no-brainer”. Red Letter Days is the original proponent of eschewing ‘stuff’ and embracing the unfettered joy of doing from Adventure Days to Short Breaks. Even so, the study was a real eye-opener. Experiences versus Consumerism: The Study The habits of 18 – 34 year olds across the UK were examined in order to ascertain several things, including whether ‘doing’ or ‘having’ made them happier and to what extent ‘fear of missing out’ motivated them. The subjects were recruited via…

    Fun Ways to Get Fit (No Gym Required)

    January 11, 2018 / No Comments

    Let me guess… You over-indulged throughout the Christmas period and vowed come January to transform yourself into a true picture of health? Yet, by the time new year came around, you had remembered that green juices were actually quite revolting and the mere thought of entering a gym sent chills up your spine? Thought so! Well, you’re certainly not alone. Approximately one in five of us set ‘getting fit’ or ‘losing weight’ as a new year’s resolution each year, yet only half stick to it. We think it’s time for this to change! If you’re the kind of person who’d sooner master the science of time travel than keep up a…

    The Bucket List – Aerobatic Flying

    December 21, 2017 / No Comments

    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…

    #RLDChristmas: How Does the Nation Celebrate Christmas?

    December 7, 2017 / No Comments

    Christmas – it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Though celebrated by millions of people across the UK, the true meaning of Christmas is interpreted differently by the population and each individual has their own unique way of marking the special occasion. Our #RLDChristmas Twitter chat and data research found that while some families take the opportunity to go all out and some have age-old traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation (the cheesier the better), others prefer to keep it as more of a low-key affair. The same can also be said about how early people begin their festive celebrations (is November too soon?!) and the habits people…

    Our Top 10 Famous Birds (the Feathered Kind)

    December 3, 2017 / No Comments

    From falconry fun to penguin encounters and owl evenings, it’s fair to say we’ve got a bit of a soft spot for experiences of the feathered kind around here. With so many British birds of prey roaming our skies, we’re a nation that loves watching our birds. And we’re not the only ones – while the internet as a whole seems to have a fascination with owls, it turns out that a lot of our best-loved fictional characters and famous sidekicks have been birds. It’s no surprise that so many people want to get up close to these animals in person, be they famous birds or not. So whether you’re watching children’s…

    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…
