4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

Introducing the Storymaker: The one who turns moments into stories worth sharing

We all have that friend who never forgets a birthday and always goes out of their way to make it special. They’re the one who rounds up the troops and turns “maybe” plans into reality, and whenever they’re around, you know you’re in for a fun night. You’re probably picturing them right now. And if no one comes to your mind, chances are it’s you. A Storymaker.

Storymakers live for bringing people together and creating moments worth sharing. Which is exactly where RedBalloon comes in. Finding more ways to connect and spend time with others, RedBalloon sets the stage, so all that’s left for you, is to create your next story.

Story starters for every Storymaker

Every Storymaker has their own reason to bring their pals together. Maybe you’re searching for girls’ night inspo— think a hands-on Mexican cooking class that ends in giggles and delicious margs. Or perhaps you’re curating the perfect vineyard lunch to celebrate your favourite wine maker with great views and a glass (or two). Whatever your vibe, the Best of RedBalloon has something that will keep you talking long after the moment is over.

For the Storymaker that loves food

When food is a non-negotiable for your catch-ups, skip that brunch spot you’ve done a million times already and try something unexpected. From inside jokes born from a dumpling mishap to iconic moments shared on a train carriage, these wine and dine experiences will leave you with the kind of tale you’ll tell your kids about.

For the Storymaker that prioritises wellness

In their balance and self-care era? Then they want something that nourishes the body as much as it strengthens your friendship. It doesn’t matter if you’re sinking into a hot spring or waiting for your side-by-side massages, any wellness moment they are gifted will turn into a core memory you’ll revisit every time you’re together.

For the Storymaker that constantly travels

Forever on the move, you or someone you love might have a wanderlust that never quits. Lean into the obsession and take your next story on the road with a getaway. Picture a fire you successfully built together under the stars while glamping or a coastal walk near your cabin that, thanks to one wrong turn, leads to the private beach that’ll have you reminiscing again and again.

And for the Storymaker that likes to take things into their own hands, there’s always a trusty gift voucher option to fall back on.
