Introduction

Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner. No we’re not sure how that happened either. This Christmas, we're flying children out to meet Santa, delivering Christmas to peoples doors & arranging the ultimate escape from it all. Seeing as it's the season of goodwill, we also thought we'd share a few of our Five Days of Christmas ideas with you....

Five Gold Rings 

Dubai is known as the 'City of Gold' & you can almost see the place glistening. Gold is a serious business in this part of the world & the gold souk is the place to start. Shop windows are crammed full of glittering jewellery from floor to ceiling. If you're confused by too much choice, let our expert guide you through. She can even barter for a bargain on your behalf & at those prices, five gold rings may just not be enough!

Four Calling Birds 

If you want to sing like a bird, then let us gather your mates as you head to London where we can arrange for the four of you to become a pop band for the day. You'll be treated like a new act about to be launched onto the market & with the help of our producers, will rehearse, perform & record your own song. We'll even throw in lessons with a voice coach & a top choreographer to ensure you look the part. Come to think of it, 'Four Calling Birds' is not a bad name for a band, anyone got Simon Cowell's number?

Three French Hens 

Forget Paris, let us whisk you & two girlfriends to Bordeaux for a weekend of wine & shopping. We think the dream-like five star Regent Grand provides an ideal base for fashionistas looking to peruse some of the finest clothing & designer stores the world has to offer. The hotel has its own Fashion Avenue where you can buy chic brands & with the help of the hotel's personal shopper you can even take them to your room to try on whilst indulging in a glass or two of chilled wine - now that's our idea of shopping!

Two Turtle Doves 

If you're the sort of romantic who loves showering your loved one with a thousand roses, perhaps you could go one better with eleven hundred doves! Sorry, the birds may have flown the nest but you could spend the night in your very own dovecote. Without the doves, peace reigns within. The interior has a split personality, half as left by the doves & half ultra modern with steel, timber & glass. Lovey doveys will find all they could wish for including a sauna & double shower. For those that decide to flee the nest, Oxford & the Cotswolds are just a short flight away.

Partridge In A Pear Tree 

If you want to experience tree living, Unmissable can build a bespoke tree house in your garden. Treehouses are built to last from the finest materials & designs vary from simple to elaborate, depending on the space available. From a kids play den to a secluded haven, a treehouse gives pleasure to both adults & children alike. If that sounds too much, you could scale new heights at a quirky treehouse hotel. Our favourite new find is set in California's Big Sur region overlooking the crashing surf. Who needs the partridges?
