10 alternative Christmas gift ideas

A HOT air balloon flight is often top of many people’s wish list and although it is pricier than a pair of socks or a soap on a rope, there are different options available and might be a good idea as a group present for that all-important family member.

Irish Balloon Flights take place shortly after sunrise or a couple of hours after sunset and launch sites are at six locations around the country. Prices start at €170.
