Give a Christmas Gift They?ll Never Forget- How About a Hot Air Balloon Ride over Michigan?

Plymouth, MI (ContentDesk) November 29 2003-- If the names on your holiday gift list are not yet completely scratched off because of "hard-to-buy-for" family or friends, here's one idea that'll leave all others grounded.
This holiday season give a gift they'll never forget, a hot air balloon flight over Michigan. "A balloon flight is the perfect gift for those who are tired of giving "forgettable" gifts that sit on a shelf or get tucked away in a closet," Scott Lorenz, President and Chief Pilot of Westwind Balloon Company of Plymouth, Michigan.
"Nobody forgets a hot air balloon flight and nobody forgets who gave it to them either."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 $550.00 for two people. Gift certificates for flights in the area over Kensington Park in Milford, Michigan can be purchased by calling 734-667-2098 or by visiting www.westwindcos.com/balloon/ or via email at: e-mail protected from spam bots.

Scott Lorenz has been a commercial balloon pilot since 1982, and has logged 1,100 + hours as pilot in command in a hot air balloon. Scott's memorable ballooning experiences include: Flying over Niagara Falls, The Great Wall of China, Disney World, the Olympics in Calgary, St. Wolfgang, Austria, Saga, Japan, the Grand Prix in Spain, co-piloting one of two balloons for Mike Howard's Guinness World Record "balloon walk" flight at 19,000 feet, a 20 hour-361 mile Gas Balloon flight with Gordon Boring and handling media relations for Kevin Uliassi's Round the World balloon flights.-END-Media note:Numerous high quality color photos are available from balloon flights over Michigan and the world.

Fountain Pen Cases

The love for fountain pens is not restricted to the pens alone. Along with the pens come the pen cases. Every fountain pen deserves a good home. Pen cases protect the pens from loosing their sheen by rolling around on the desk or drawer. Designed to hold the pens in various ways, pen cases are a treat to watch.

Exquisitely crafted pen cases are a statement of good taste. It makes sense to preserve precious vintage pens in cases and boxes.

Pen cases are available in the shape of an easel, upright-standing frames, cheroot box-like cases with transparent glass tops, cups and many more. While the closed cases primarily serve the purpose of preserving the pens from dust and abrasion, open cases highlight the beauty of the pens on display and make the pens available at one's fingertips. Triangular-shaped pen cases with smoked plastic covers are a variety seen in the market. Pen pillows, made from wood and Wajima urushi lacquer are also being manufactured by Japanese companies.
