Why not treat somebody to an unforgettable hot air ballooning experience? With our Scenes Above gift vouchers, it has been made really simple to do so. We spoke to Scott Clay, 43, who treated his wife to one of our vouchers as a great anniversary present.

“I have been married to my wife for 15 years and we couldn’t be any happier. 15 years isn’t a major milestone, but I still wanted to do something special to celebrate all the time we’ve been together. She booked for us to go on holiday, but I need to get her something special in return- and just as romantic!

“One classic romantic experience we’ve never done is hot air ballooning. We’ve always loved waking up early and watching the sunrise together, but watching it from a hot air balloon seems a lot better- the views up there were bound to be unbeatable! With no expense to spare, I jumped at the chance to book a trip to the skies for just the two of us.

We live in Bournemouth, so there are plenty of locations near us that take advantage of the stunning location. The only problem was every venue was fully booked. It seemed like every couple wanted a romantic experience for themselves and we had to wait ages for our turn. Browsing through the Scenes Above website for any available spots near us, I discovered they had a gift voucher available for purchase immediately.

“Gift vouchers usually seem like a present you give somebody when you can’t think of what to get them. The Scenes Above gift voucher was different. By giving one to my wife, it would let her choose the best time for us to go. After all, she was taking control of the holiday and she could have plenty of other surprises up her sleeve. Now, she could choose when would be best for us to go.

“It only took a few minutes to order a £130 gift voucher. After entering my details and selecting gift wrapping, my booking was confirmed and I was told my present would soon be on the way. When it arrived, I decided to take the voucher with us to give her on the morning of our anniversary. We were on the other side of the world, in the middle of an unforgettable romantic getaway- but she couldn’t wait to get back and get in the air.

“I can’t thank Scenes Above enough for delivering such a perfect anniversary gift”.

With thousands of satisfied customers, Scenes Above are responsible for one of the best gift vouchers you’ll find anywhere! We spoke to one of those customers, Katherine Clay, 41, about her experience after receiving this awesome present.

“For our anniversary, I decided to treat my husband and I to a romantic getaway in Tuscany. I wasn’t expecting him to get me anything as romantic in return- probably just some cheap jewellery or a large bouquet of flowers! Yet on the morning of our anniversary, he handed me an envelope with a Scenes Above gift voucher. He wanted us to go hot air ballooning and watch the sunrise from way up high. I couldn’t have been happier.

“When we arrived back home, one of the first things we did was book for us to go up in the air. We did it before we even unpacked our bags! It turns out there were a few venues in our region, so I raced to book without a moment’s hesitation. The gift voucher was valid for a year after purchase- but that didn’t mean we wanted to wait for this romantic adventure! Luckily, we managed to book for a few weeks in advance and it couldn’t have been made easier.

“It only took a few clicks on the website and we had our place secured. If that wasn’t enough, we were emailed maps and directions just a few minutes later. They really cared about our experience every step in the way. We couldn’t wait to get up in the air and it seemed like Scenes Above couldn’t wait for us to take to the skies too!

“When we arrived at the venue, the staff were friendly and wanted to do everything to help us have the most romantic experience possible. When we got up in the air, it was even more spectacular than we’d hoped. We can’t thank Scenes Above enough for delivering a once in a lifetime experience so effortlessly. We’ll definitely recommend your gift voucher to our friends and family”.

My wife's always spoken about how much she'd love to go on a hot air balloon flight, so with her approaching a fairly big birthday I decided to treat her to a hot air ballooning experience. Instead of booking the experience straight away, I decided to buy her a voucher so that we could wait until the summer to redeem it.

When I received the voucher it was really nicely presented and I could probably have got away with not wrapping it up, but I wasn't feeling quite that brave. When I gave it to my wife on her birthday she was over the moon, and for the first time in 30 years I'd actually managed to get her something she loved!

We booked our hot air ballooning experience for the end of August in hope that we'd get some decent weather, and when August arrived we weren't disappointed. On the day of our flight we had glorious sunshine, and when we arrived at the site the balloon was inflated for ready for take off straight away.

Once we were safely in the air the views were incredible, and over the course of our flight we flew over acres of countryside, as well as a couple of stately homes and castles! My wife enjoyed our hot air balloon experience even more than I'd imagined, and I can see why. It's definitely a once in a life time experience and I'm sure we'll both never forget it.

My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary last year and as a little anniversary present our son and daughter treated us to a voucher for a hot air ballooning experience. I never thought I'd be brave enough to try hot air ballooning, but after reading some of the information that came with our voucher I was really excited about giving it a try.

A couple of weeks after we'd received our voucher we got our hot air balloon experience booked in, and we only had to wait a couple of months until the day of our flight. Despite not knowing what to expect both me and my husband couldn't wait, and we were really looking forward to heading for the clouds in the basket of a hot air balloon.

On the day of our hot air balloon experience the weather was absolutely glorious, and when we arrived at the site the balloon was ready take off. Before we climbed into the basket the instructor gave us a run through of where we were heading, some of the sites we'd see, and all the safety procedures. All that was left to do then was start our ascent, and as me made our way into the air we could see for miles!

Our hot air ballooning experience seemed to fly by, but it's one of the most incredible things I've ever done. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and I can't think of a better way to mark our 40th anniversary.
