There is no such thing as a man who has everything.

The man who has almost everything, yes, but nobody has absolutely everything they could ever want or need.

Trust us on this. There is always something you don’t have.

The same is true for women.

But if your home is already packed to the rafters with US TV box sets, Playstation 4 games, mp3 players and mountain bikes, how about thinking outside the box – and up into the skies for the men in your life’s next birthday?

A hot air balloon flight could be the perfect gift, whether you are buying for dad, husband, brother, son or boyfriend.

Whether they are a guy that loves adventure or just someone who likes to relax and watch the world go by, a balloon flight is one of the few experiences that will appeal to either.

With more than 100 launch sites across the country, Virgin Balloon Flights is the only truly nationwide commercial hot air balloon company in the UK.

So whether you live in Scotland or St Alban’s, they can take to the skies with us for an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience.

Here are some other ideas on birthday gifts for him to help make his next birthday one to remember.

Looking (And Feeling) Good

A quick survey of the men in our office shows they like to look after themselves.

And we’re not just talking about hitting the gym and a quick morning shave – these days skincare is just as important to many guys as it is to women.

So why not treat the chap in your life - and yourself while you’re at it - to a pampering spa day for two?

Virgin Experience Days offers a great selection, but one of our favourites is the Reviver Pamper Day for Two with Virgin Active – a bargain at just £69 for both of you.

If facials and massages are not your dad or brother’s bag, this Qi Energy treatment is said to both relax and restore energy levels – just the thing to recharge their batteries.

Gadget Geek

No matter how many gadgets they already have, there are always more out there that men would love to own, even if they don’t know it until they get one!

What about this self-stirring mug from IWOOT for super speedy tea-making?

Or if they are permanently glued to their smartphone watching US TV shows on Netflix, we love a tiny projector that turns any room into its own mini cinema.

A Fine Vintage

Real ale has seen a huge resurgence in popularity during the past decade, with brewery tours and beer-tasting sessions appealing to men and women of all (legal drinking) ages.

Find out if he can tell his IPA from his bitter from just £18 for two with Virgin Experience Days.

Or for men who like to live life on the spicier side, how about tickling their taste buds with a tour of an award-winning chilli farm, with more than 90 varieties grown, including some of the world’s hottest?

Music To His Ears

Whether he is into metal or classical, hip hop or prog rock, gig tickets to see his favourite band are a foolproof birthday gift idea. You could even introduce him to something new with a trip to see an artist he might not have heard of but that you know he would love. And for the really hardcore music fan, a UK festival could be just the ticket.

With big name headliners Calvin Harris and Kasabian, plus dozens of other top acts, Virgin Media’s V Festival on the 22nd and 23rd August 2015, will satisfy almost anyone’s musical taste.

So there you have it, some of Virgin Balloon Flight’s top tips on choosing the perfect birthday gifts for him.

Happy shopping!
