By clicking the link below you can see for yourself the entire calendar for the fabulous day trips onboard the Orient Express that are available this year.  However, as St Valentine’s Day is not that far away, we are going to focus on one particular trip – namely ‘Valentine’s Lunch on the Northern Belle’.

If you are a romantic person at heart and would love to whisk your beloved off on a beautifully romantic and special trip where you can celebrate your love in style, or perhaps you are planning on popping the big question, you would be hard pressed to find a more luxurious and fabulous setting.  It would certainly be a trip to remember!

Theatre lovers will be delighted with this thoughtful gift.  Perfect for special occasions for couples to go out and have a wonderful evening at the theatre, this gift includes tickets for 2 people to enjoy a show at one of 6 West End theatres.  Seats will be the best available at the time of booking, are refer to the following shows:  Blood Brothers, Chicago, Grease, Stomp, The 39 Steps and Thriller Live.

The voucher is available until 1st December 2011.

With Father’s Day coming up shortly in this World Cup year, why not treat your Dad to this retro mug featuring a tax disc from that wonderful year of 1966?  For anyone too young to remember, your Dad will certainly be aware that 1966 was the last time (maybe this will change in the coming weeks?) England won the World Cup.

This has been a year full of doom and gloom with depressing news about the global recession and now severe weather causing disastrous conditions and disruption to many people.  Christmas is just around the corner so why not inject some humour and fun into the lives of the people you love?  This comedy club experience is for six people (must be aged 18 or over) and can be taken at various times during the year and at various locations.

Now at the reduced price of £55.

Looking for a gift for a footy fan?  Perhaps he acts as a referee for the local Sunday league?  Look no further than these fun cufflinks shaped as a ref’s whistle.

They are delivered in a sleek black box with a satin lining – perfect as a gift.

What do you buy football fans who have everything?  A piece of history that celebrates the mighty game!  This fantastic gift comprises an authentic shirt that has been signed by Sir Geoff Hurst (I’m female and not a footy fan, but even I know that “they thinks it’s all over, well it is now” refers to his final of three goasl in the England v Germany world cup match, that secured England’s victory in 1966).  Bearing in mind that we are still waiting to reclaim the title, no matter how many times we chant “football is coming home”, you can easily see why this signed shirt is so collectable.

In an elegant frame, the shirt is accompanied by two colour photos of Geoff scoring and the team celebrating.  The recipient will also receive a photo showing Geoff signing the shirt, and an authentication certificate bearing the recipient’s name.

Staying on the World Cup 1966 theme, for an extra special gift, a replica 1966 England Shirt has been personally signed by an incredible ten members of the historic World Cup winning squad: Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Geoff Hurst, Jack Charlton, Martin Peters, Roger Hunt, Gordon Banks, George Cohen, Ray Wilson, Nobby Stiles and the late Alan Ball.

This is a gift that will be treasured by the person who receives it.  Also available are signed shirts by Torres, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona and many more.

With several trips organised during December 2009 (including 21st December) from various locations around the country, this makes a fabulous pre-Christmas treat.  Better still, book as a gift for your loved one and join them on a magical trip whilst enjoying a sumptuous five course festive lunch accompanied with a glass of champagne and half bottle of wine during the meal, all served to you by immaculate liveried staff.

With Summer nearly upon us, we have that longing to spend our free time in the great outdoors.  Hardly surprising then that sales of outdoor furniture and picnic items are soaring at the moment.  Also with the uncertainty in the economic climate at the moment, more of us are set to spend our holidays closer to home this year than perhaps we normally do.

Bring a cheerfulness to your days out this year with this charming (yet inexpensive) box floral kite from Cath Kidston.  In fact there are plenty of outdoor and homeware products that all bear her unmistakable floral prints that can’t help but lift the spirits!

Easter is nearly here, which means school holidays and thoughts of longer and warmer days.  More importantly, it is a time to think about how to entertain the kids during the holidays.

Legoland is always popular, but maybe more so when there is a special themed event.  Why not give the kids (and dad) a break this Easter and treat them to the Agents After Dark event on either 10th, 11th or 12th of April?  An incredible day of spy-themed activities culminating in a thrilling laser show full of espionage and energy on the Adventure Land lake!

There’s even more reason to book a trip to Legoland this weekend:-
