The capital is the perfect place to celebrate those milestone occasions - whether it's a coming-of-age, one of those birthdays with a 0 on the end of it, or a romantic anniversary.
Do you know someone with an 18th or 21st birthday on the horizon? These coming-of-age events are notoriously tricky to choose presents for. Although a valuable keepsake or piece of jewellery is traditional, we all know what young men and women, just heading off to college or their first shared house, are like for losing and breaking things. Your gift might not make it to their next birthday! Experience gifts are the perfect alternative - you can hand-pick a present that's ideally suited to the tastes of the birthday boy or girl, whether they're sporty, arty or a budding foodie. How about a hang gliding experience, taking to the skies in a tandem rigid-winged ATOS VX and soaring lazily over the Essex countryside at 2000 feet? Talented musicians will love a studio recording experience, with expert advice from an experienced session engineer and a CD to take home at the end of the day. Or give a young gourmet and their brother, sister, boyfriend or girlfriend a four-course lunch at Gordon Ramsay at Claridges, with a superb tasting menu created by head chef Steve Allen. Whichever you choose, long after the events of the day there will be memories and photographs to cherish.
London days out make the perfect gift for couples celebrating a special anniversary. Don't put yourself under pressure trying to choose the entertainment that presses all the buttons, a restaurant that's conveniently located and so on - just opt for a package that brings everything together for you. How about a visit to a favourite attraction - think St Paul's Cathedral, the Household Cavalry Museum, or Kensington or Hampton Court Palace - followed by a fabulous afternoon tea at Mayfair's swish Grosvenor House Hotel? Or let the lucky couple take to the water for a leisurely lunchtime cruise on the Thames, including a three-course meal, before getting airborne for a flight on the London Eye. Or how about a Friday-night theatre break, with tickets to either 39 Steps, Blood Brothers, We Will Rock You, Stomp, Wicked, Thriller or Woman in Black, followed by an overnight stay in a three-star hotel and leisurely breakfast? Thrill-seekers will love a flight over London in a Piper Seneca twin-engine light aircraft. The half-hour journey will take them over all the capital's iconic landmarks: St Paul's Cathedral, the Olympic Park, Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament and the Royal Parks. Finish off with a bottle of champagne and they'll feel like their feet still haven't really touched the ground!
Did you know that the traditional gift for a 6th wedding anniversary is sugar? Of course, no one would appreciate a gift-wrapped kilo bag of Tate & Lyle, but there are other sweet treats you can give to celebrate this anniversary - which must surely be special because it's the one before the seven-year itch sets in! How about a cupcake decorating course for two? The lucky couple will spend two and a half hours learning how to make the perfect sponge and brilliant buttercream, as well as marshmallow filling for those oh-so-trendy whoopie pies. Then they'll get to decorate and sample their creations, accompanied by a delicious chocolate martini. It's the ideal present for foodie friends, or for showing your wife your sweet side on your 6th anniversary.
