Something everyone has to do in their lifetime – that romantic moment under the mistletoe! Can be bought from grocers and some supermarkets nearer Christmas!

In your lifetime you need to ride a limo! It’s an amazing way to get to where you need to go, especially for a special occasion! Travel in style for a birthday party, prom, anniversary or even a wedding! There’s plenty of room inside for some of your family and friends. There’s a wide range of limos to choose from as well as the colour: pink, white or black for a start! Inside there may be optional disco lights, you can listen to your choice of music, and soft drinks or champagne are usually provided! A great way to begin your evening! Don’t forget to take lots of pictures!

Why not write a letter to yourself, seal in and then open it again in 5 years time! You could write about where you are in life, what you are doing, your current favourite music or movies etc, your hopes dreams and aspirations, and where you’d like to be in 5 years! Seal it up then when you open it 5 years later, you can find out if you managed to achieve any of the things you’d hoped to, hope different things turned out from what you thought. It would also bring back memories of funny things you used to say and do, or songs that you liked and had completely forgotten about! If you’re not keen on letter writing there are also websites online where you can send an email to yourself and set a date in the future from a year to 10 years or more, so that the email will arrive the date you asked for!

Why not go to a fayre, whether there’s one down the road from you or whether on holiday it’s a lot of fun! There’s smaller rides for the kids, a carousel, and there’s faster rides for the adults where you’ll get flung all over the place, and don’t forget the waltzer and the dodgems, making it a fun evening or daytrip for all! As well as the rides there’s  games with prizes to be won and food vans if you get hungry, don’t forget the candy floss!

Why not create your own cocktail. If you don’t drink alcohol you could mix cordials, grenadine, flavourings with juice or fizzy drinks for example, if you do drink alcohol have a look in your cupboard put a few liquids together with juice and flavourings and see how it tastes! Found something good, now all it needs is a name! Once you’ve got your cocktail name now to introduce it to family and friends at a night in, get together or a party!

Why not try to go 24 hours without saying a word. You could do it sponsored and raise money or just do it as a challenge you’ve set yourself. See how far you can manage, you’d be surprised how much you could communicate with other people just by using body language and facial expressions, and if you find it hard there’s always the use of notes!

Why not in your lifetime attend a reading for example a psychic reading or a tarot reading. What they can tell about your past and present can be remarkably accurate. The future is not to be taken too seriously as there are lots of possible paths in life and what the reader reveals is only one possible route of many. The future is always up to you to change and aim for where you want to be. It is still a bit of fun though and a new experience to be had!

Something that is so much fun to have done! A lot of people go for tigers and butterflies but why not try and be totally original in what you come up with like a dolphin or an alien! A facepainter would be a brilliant addition to a social get together or a family or friend event, like a birthday! Or you could always have a go at facepainting yourself with a few willing volunteers! There are books with step by step instructions for facepainting different animals and characters. Either way if you or your friends are attempting the facepainting, or each having your own face painted, it will be a lot of fun, and definately something to talk about!

Why not try spending a small amount of time away from that person that you love so much. Just by spending a week away with some friends or visiting family can make you realise just how much that person means to you…

Maybe you wouldn’t realise just how much you would miss them and the little things that they do, like cuddling up to them at night and hearing them snore away!

By spending some  time apart, when you see your loved one again, it would make you realise what you have with them and cherish it, so that you would make the most of the time that you have together.

This doesn’t have to mean that you will be littering with a potential result of broken glass. Instead it could be a sentimental gift idea. You could fill the bottom of a bottle with beads, sand and shells or something that the recipient would like. You could then write a note, a love letter, a poem, or anything you fancy. For a bit of fun you could always write in ye olde language or make it a little piratey arrr! Make it look old such as with the use of wet tea bags, then roll it up so it looks like a  scroll. Add it to the bottle, then add the cork, or screw top. For a final touch you could add a label or a ribbon.

For another gift idea you could always make a mini message in a bottle which could be turned into a necklace!
