Something to Remember - Gifts for the Absent-Minded

8 December 2008

Most people will agree that time seems to pass much faster as you get older – the years can fly by as you throw yourself into your daily routine of work, chores and sleep. Before you know it, you're ten years older and your life doesn't seem to have moved in the direction you had always imagined it would – welcome to adult life! But it doesn't have to be as bad as it might sound, we can all be absent minded from time to time which is why it's important to remind yourself what it's all about with a little treat every now and then.

One of the best ways to blow away the cobwebs and get the heart beating faster is to inject a bit of fun and fear into your life. The Experience day gifts are a great way of bringing back the adrenaline and making you feel young again. A parachute jump, a microlighting experience day gift, a white water rafting adventure – what better ways to get the body in motion and the brain back in gear? The experience day gifts are available for both children and adults, and can be for one person or part of a treat for the whole family. Designed to be an experience of a lifetime, these experience day gifts will provide the fun and frolics and a host of memories to look back on for a long time to come.

Keeping the brain active is something we all need to consider doing every now and then, particularly if we know we're guilty of spending hours in front of the television – watching countdown might just pass for an exception but the 'Brain Fitness Kit' is one gift that will really get those brain cells lit up. For the fast thinkers out there, then the 'Who's in the Bag' game makes for the ideal challenge – simply try to explain the name of the famous person on your cards without revealing their actual name – it's harder than it looks and with an egg timer counting down the seconds, you'll soon realise that forgetting names is not a problem exclusive to the older generation!

If you know someone who has a tendency to be a little bit forgetful every now and then, there are plenty of gifts you can invest in that will get the memories flooding back. The 'You know You're A Child of the 60's When…' book will take them right back to the days of flower power, The Beatles and Mini Coopers. Whether they were born in the 40's, 50's,60's, 70's or 80's, there is a version of these gifts for everyone so be prepared to cringe and cry as you look back on old times.

We can't stop the world moving on but we can at least preserve the past and for anyone who thinks that music is nowhere near as good as it used to be, why not treat them this year with gifts that are bound to bring back some good old memories? The 'Special Record – Personalised Vinyl Plaque' will last a lifetime and commemorate any song that is special to the recipient. So there's no longer an excuse for them to forget what song was played at your wedding or what single was at number one when they were born, consider these gifts as a little bit of history preserved.

Photographs are certainly one of the best ways to keep old memories alive and there are plenty of wonderful photo frames to choose from that will make those favourite pictures a feature in any home. Why not go for something special and present someone with their very own engraved photo frame this year? Whether it's a special birthday, wedding or childhood memories you want to celebrate; there'll be no excuse for being absent minded with a beautiful silver frame out on display. But if it's something a little bit more out of the ordinary that you're after, then why not send in your favourite photos and have them printed onto a more unusual gift including cushions, aprons, chairs, glasses case – even a tea cosy! Present someone with their personalised 'Andy Warhol Style Pop Art Print' and they're bound to remember the good old times. Just make sure that it's a photograph they like otherwise it could be a gift they're only too quick to forget!
