Local hot air balloon flights
Monday, March 2nd, 2009A UNIQUE WAY TO GIVE A HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHT AS A GIFT….
For most people a hot air balloon flight is a once in a lifetime experience. Its an adventure they will never forget. Lots of flights are purchased as gifts. Some people have creative ways of giving the gift of a balloon flight to someone special. My wife had given a hot air balloon flight to her sister as a Christmas gift way before we met. The way she presented it was very unique.
1st: She took a picture of a balloon (you can use a copy off our websight).
2nd: She glued it onto a piece of cardboard & wrote on the back of it….what the gift was.
3rd : She cut the cardboard picture into several puzzle pieces.
4th: Then wraped them in different size boxes with little things in the box (Hershey Kisses, roll of coins, ect) to throw her off if she shook the box…to guess the gift.
5th: She numbered the gifts in order … so she would not be able to guess the puzzle right away. Her sister opened a gift a day until Christmas….when she opened the center puzzle piece that pulled it all together. The anticipation was so much fun & they really enjoyed the entire process from gifts to the actual flight.
Other people has gone as far as blind folding the gift recipiant untill it was time to get them in the balloon.
One time we had a person purchase an exclusive flight. They had us come and inflate the balloon in the cul de sac in front of the house. Then they woke the person who was going for the flight. We lifted off from right out side!
The son of a good friend of mine had me inflate in a green belt behind his girlfriends house. As I was inflating the balloon he called her and told her to come outside. Then as we lifted off he had our crew unfold a banner on the ground that asked if she would go to the prom with him. She will never forget that invitation!
Be creative, have fun with it and always give a gift that people will not soon forget
