"A balloon flight is the perfect gift for those who are tired of giving "forgettable" gifts that sit on a shelf or get tucked away in a closet," says Scott Lorenz, President and Chief Pilot of Westwind Balloon Company of Plymouth, Michigan. "Nobody forgets a hot air balloon flight and nobody forgets who gave it to them either."
Plymouth, MI (PRWEB) December 1, 2003 --If the names on your holiday gift list are not yet completely scratched off because of "hard-to-buy-for" family or fri, here's one idea that'll leave all others grounded. This holiday season give a gift they'll never forget, a hot air balloon flight over Michigan.
"A balloon flight is the perfect gift for those who are tired of giving "forgettable" gifts that sit on a shelf or get tucked away in a closet," Scott Lorenz, President and Chief Pilot of Westwind Balloon Company of Plymouth, Michigan. "Nobody forgets a hot air balloon flight and nobody forgets who gave it to them either."
It's also a perfect gift for the boss when a group of fellow employess want to pool their money for a special gift. "The boss is always very impressed," says Lorenz, "last year one recipient was nearly moved to tears when he found out how much they spent on him."
"A balloon flight is just what the doctor ordered for "have everything" parents too. That's why the so-called "experience" gift is so popular, because people who have everything material, nice house, boat, cottage, three cars, every nick knack and paddywack don't really need anything. The only things they want to collect anymore are experiences. A balloon flight is the ultimate experience."
"It's a ideal gift too because when a gift touches someone both emotionally and on a multi-sensory level people remember who gave it to them. If you really want to make a lasting impression, says Lorenz, a hot air balloon ride over Michigan is the ultimate unforgettable gift."
The balloon flight costs $695.00 for two people. Gift certificates for flights in the area over Kensington Park in Milford, Michigan can be purchased by calling 734-667-2098 or by visiting www.westwindcos.com/balloon/ Checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover Card are accepted. Flights are scheduled May through October.
