Top Gift Ideas:

• Melbourne Horse and Carriage Tour: One of the most popular products in the entire Gift It Now catalogue, our Melbourne Horse and Carriage tours have an instant aura of romance that is perfectly suited to celebrating occasions and events with that special someone. The ultimate in stylish and prestigious sightseeing options for anniversaries, weddings, Valentine's Day or simply a gorgeous couple's day or night out, you'll travel through the streets of Melbourne aboard an award-winning carriage - considered to be the most prestigious in the city, with its eye-catching midnight-blue and red base adorned with gold trimmings and accents - drawn by two magnificent matching horses and driven by an experienced coach driver who is fully uniformed in traditional attire. Feel like the classiest couple in town as you see such Melbourne icons as St. Patrick's Cathedral, Parliament House and Chinatown as well as the Shrine of Remembrance, the Arts centre and Federation Square.

• Hot Air Ballooning: Melbourne's special blend of both impressive urban development alongside well-maintained gardens and scenic areas of greenery makes for a great sightseeing experience from the ground - however, the impression is multiplied greatly when viewed from the amazingly scenic perspective of several thousand feet above! A hot air ballooning gift voucher for a ride above Melbourne is thus guaranteed to provide one of the most memorable experiences of the lucky recipient's life, and makes for the ideal gift for almost any occasion as they get to glide silently through the clear air and see the city's highlights from a distinctive vantage point few others get to experience. There are few more romantic and peaceful activities than a hot air balloon flight over such a picturesque city as the balloons drift over the array of parks and gardens that make Victoria's capital frequently referred to as one of the world's most liveable cities. As the city comes to life, gaze down onto the city's iconic sporting venues such as the MCG, Melbourne Park and Albert Park racetrack.

• Winery Tours: Melbourne's close proximity to the highly-regarded Yarra Valley wine region makes it the ideal starting point for a day tour - the gift vouchers on offer provide experiences with an emphasis on great food and fine wine, with a number of high quality venues to choose from that will delight both the visual and oral senses. A combination of both amazing visual panoramas and verdant farmlands with some of the world's finest wines produced in both brilliant large and family-owned boutique wineries means a full day's worth of satisfaction for the gift recipient. A memorable outing full of pleasurable experiences, with all tours guided by hosts and drivers with extensive knowledge of this key wine region's distinct wine styles and operators, as well as specific wine tourism training and years of experience introducing these lovely Victorian wines to both interstate and international guests.

• Skydiving over the Yarra Valley: The Yarra Valley isn't only a destination that involves visiting wineries - the more extreme and thrill-seeking among your friends and family may choose instead to embrace their adventurous side and jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a skydiving gift voucher instead! Those brave and adventurous souls will join their qualified instructor for a tandem skydive that is a one-way ticket to instant exhilaration as they plummet from the skies at speeds of up to 220 kilometres an hour above some of the most beautiful and verdant greenery in the entire state of Victoria. After exiting the plane, they'll receive full, unencumbered and utterly amazing views of the Yarra Valley as far as the eye can see, and with up to 7 minutes worth of gliding once the parachute opens, they'll have plenty of time to soak it all in. Lastly, as an added bonus that reflects the attitude of the Yarra Valley, upon completion of the skydive they'll get to do some wine tasting at a nearby winery to cap it all off in style!
