Five action-packed Somerset Christmas gift ideas

Go on, admit it. You may not have been brave enough to mention it in public yet, but the worry of finding Christmas presents to satisfy your nearest and dearest really starts to weigh on the mind in October.

Last week’s heatwave helped to delay the inevitable but, let’s face it, the festive period is on its way… look no further than the local supermarket shelves if you’re in any need of a sharp reminder.

So, how do you avoid that awkward moment when you watch a polite family member feign delight while unwrapping their gifts?

The answer may just lie with an activity voucher. The perception of gift vouchers being unimaginative Christmas presents is really quite dated now, especially with the wide range of action and adventure gifts available in Somerset.
