I have a relative based in east Surrey who is shortly due to celebrate a big birthday. As a present I would like to gift a voucher for a special meal or activity in the Surrey or London area (I'm subject to lockdown restrictions and won't be able to see her so it needs to be something I can buy online and send by post). I'm looking to spend around £50.
She has a taste for adventure and has previously enjoyed abseiling for charity, indoor skydiving, zip lines etc.
She enjoys eating out but isn't fussed on 'fine dining'. Cuisine-wise, pretty much anything goes
my back up plan is something like a red letter day voucher so she can choose for herself what she does, but I'd rather support a smaller company if I can.
If you know the area and can recommend an activity / great place to eat, I'd love to hear your recommendations.

I know it's nice to give something rather than cash, but in the present ever changing situation I would be very wary of sending vouchers for actibities that could be cancelled with companies that sadly could go out of business leaving valueless bookings.I would stick with sending cash for anything non-tangible. I don't think anyone would be offended by this at the moment.1

How about wine from a local to them vineyard if there is one? They could possibly visit the vineyard next year Which would be the trip out. Failing that, Fortnum & Mason do some incredible hampers ( at incredible prices!) but you can create your own to your budget. Used them for special occasions before & always get a positive response 😀Lurking in a galaxy far far away...1
