What gift would you buy Jonathan Trappe?

Posted on 03. Jun, 2010 by Rob Watson in Male

Last week Jonathan Trappe did something truly incredible.

He flew across the Channel, whilst sat on an office chair, held up with a cluster of balloons.

A true daredevil if there ever was one.

So, with a personality that outrageous, what kind of gift would you give that would stand a chance of being remembered?

Naturally I started to think about some kind of high-octane experience gift. Something to really get the heart pumping. Like Indoor Skydiving, or White Water Rafting.

But then I thought, this is someone who has just drifted across 22 miles of open ocean, putting his life completely at the mercy of mother nature. Those adventure experiences must look pretty tame by comparison.

So I re-read the article I’d cut out of the paper, in which Jonathon stated his journey was “an exceptional, quiet, peaceful experience”.

Clearly he was moved by the connection he had with nature. So I started to think about some more serene gifts. Such as…

Birds of Prey Falconry experience.

For a man who is clearly obsessed with flight I think being close up to some magnificent masters of flying would be a day to cherish.

Or for a more relaxing alternative…

Flotation Tank Experience

I’m taking a wild guess here, but I imagine Jonathan probably hasn’t had a great deal of time to relax lately.

Sure, time in a flotation tank might not be as fulfilling as his majestic flight, but it sure is a much easier way to capture a quite, peaceful experience.

Failing that

If none of those ideas quite ring true, then you could always throw a Chipmunk party, just to help get rid of any left over helium!
