Lastminute.com? One of the most successful ten year olds on the planet. Lastminute is a massive international business employing 2000 or so staff. Choose from a bewildering array of 80,000 hotels and flights available at your fingertips 24/7. They’ve got short breaks, long holidays, city breaks, weekend breaks, tours, package holidays, skiing trips and more, take your pick. They’re pretty hot on the environment at lastminute.com too; they let you opt for a scheme called ‘Carbonwise’ where you make a donation to fund projects that’ll help offset the carbon your holiday flight emits. Nice one. Best of all, you can arrange a surprise holiday for your loved one. Or for someone you dislike… we’d hate to restrict your creativity.

 

Holidays are just the tip of the iceberg. Lastminute.com is packed with activities and entertainment, from family days out at amusement and theme parks to treats and birthday surprise activities. Book a night at the theatre or at a fantastic restaurant. Get tickets for more gigs, festivals and concerts than you imagined existed… in the UK, Europe and worldwide. They even do package deals for events; how’d you fancy a show in Paris, a night in a posh hotel and flights back, all in one?

 

And there’s more. Lastminute offers loads of brilliant gifts and experiences. Book your fella on a two day extreme driving course. Treat your girlfriend to a day in the most luxurious spa resort known to mankind. Try shooting dirty great big guns and driving tanks. Shoot your colleagues with paintballs. Or – if you’re a petrol head and a speed freak - enjoy a spot of hair raising Formula One racing. If that’s all a bit much, pick from bucketloads of really cool personalised gifts and other exciting stuff instead.
