Dad Wants an Experience Gift Like a Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Michigan Not a Boring Tie!

Forget the boring tie and shirt this Father's Day. Give Dad a gift he'll never forget; a hot air balloon ride over Michigan. It's the perfect gift because it's an "experience" gift.

Plymouth, MI (PRWEB) May 31, 2003 -- Forget the boring tie and shirt this Father's Day. Give Dad a gift he'll never forget, a hot air balloon ride over Michigan.

"A balloon flight is the perfect gift for most dads because a balloon flight is an "experience" gift says Scott Lorenz, President and Chief Pilot of Westwind Balloon Company of Plymouth, Michigan. "

"The main reason 'experience' gifts are so popular is that in the end all we have are memories and the balloon ride provides a vivid and lasting memory. Especially after September 11, I have noticed that people really want to make special occasions 'special' so they are more interested in collecting experiences than knick-knacks to put on a shelf," says Lorenz, "and a balloon flight is the perfect experience gift that both dad and mom can enjoy together because each flight is for two people."

"Nobody forgets their first balloon flight. It is truly an experience that cannot compare to anything else. The sensation of flying over trees, lakes and streams, spotting deer and other wildlife is unique and inspiring. 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. Gift certificates for flights in the area over Kensington Park in Milford, Michigan can be purchased by calling 734-667-2098 or by visiting http://westwindcos.com/balloon/ or via email at: scottlorenz@westwindcos.com.
