Gift certificates are purchased for parents, bosses, lovers, you name it.  Westwind Balloon Company has received orders from panicked adult children on Christmas Eve who finally figured out that a balloon flight was the perfect gift for their "have everything" parents.  That is 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 perfect experience.

After a recent flight with a hearty and healthy 75 year old lady, she turned to one of her six of her adult children who had bought her the flight and said, "Well that was great, I can cross that off my list of things to do." She said she "always wanted to fly in a balloon" and at age 75 she craved the experience.

The cost is $695.00 for two people. A gift certificate can be sent overnight to anywhere in the country.
