It's also a perfect gift for the boss when a group of fellow employess want to pool their money for a special gift. "The boss is always very impressed," says Lorenz, "last year one recipient was nearly moved to tears when he found out how much they spent on him."
"A balloon flight is just what the doctor ordered for "have everything" parents too. That's why the so-called "experience" gift is so popular, because people who have everything material, nice house, boat, cottage, three cars, every nick knack and paddywack don't really need anything. The only things they want to collect anymore are experiences. A balloon flight is the ultimate experience."
"It's a ideal gift too because when a gift touches someone both emotionally and on a multi-sensory level people remember who gave it to them. If you really want to make a lasting impression, says Lorenz, a hot air balloon ride over Michigan is the ultimate unforgettable gift."
The balloon flight costs $695.00 for two people.
