As a travel lover, the biggest gift that can be given to me is the gift of journey!
Whether it is my birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, an anniversary or any excuse, I really want the journey.
Don’t think me wrong, I like a fragrant candle and a bunch of flowers, but I’m giving a lot of holiday!
Why travel as a gift?
The thing with the journey is that it is a triple vaimi of happiness, which is the best gift ever:
- You start with enthusiasm for weeks before leaving
- Real holiday is enjoyed
- Memories are happy that can live for a lifetime
If you compare with a standard gift that usually brings happiness for a few weeks and then forgets about it, the journey is a clear winner.
A shared experience
The bonus is glad that if you are giving a travel gift to someone else, you will probably join them for a holiday and you will also enjoy it! This is just more than a current, it is a shared experience that you will remember together forever.
Experience on ‘goods’
In a world, rapidly saturated with stuff, whether it is gadget, knock-nac or fast fashion, giving an experience instead of a physical object is something refreshed and incredibly individual.
In all experiences, the journey stands as one of the most exciting, rich, transformative and memorable gifts that you can give. Whether it is a stunning weekend migration for a partner, a cultural journey for a parents, or a graduate journey for a friend, has the power to make stories to give a gift to the trip, not only souvenirs.
Material gifts often lose their brightness. The adventure of opening the latest tech gadget or trendy accessory fades and is quickly replaced by the next recurrence or craze. On the other hand, travel, make memories for a long time after the journey ends. People rarely remind of a pair of socks that they met three birthdays earlier, but they would never forget when they saw northern lights in Iceland or a tuck was fresh pasta in Roman Tratoria.
How to travel as a gift
When you are traveling as a gift, you have got some options how you will do it…
- Arrange complete holiday from beginning to end
- Arrange something simple like 1-night stay in a local (Ish) hotel
- Book a wonder flight and allow them to arrange the rest
- Give them a travel gift card so that they can spend it
The easiest option – gift card
personally I think Travel gift card The easiest options are because there are many expensive complications with all three of the first three options. The biggest complexity is looking for a date and surprising the whole thing, so nine times out of ten times it is really easy to arrange together and then to pay you.
But with the payment is that you do not have the cute ‘surprise’ element of the gift where the other person has something to open and enjoy. So a gift card is a great option for the moment where you see their face in light because they realize all possibilities.
Add some extra on a holiday that they have already planned
A travel gift card is also a very good option if someone already has a holiday plan and you want to give them something to make the holiday better. With a gift card they can stay in a hotel, an activity or a simple logical items such as Uber rides.
Imagine that a family member is going on leave Spain And they use their gift cards to buy a sunset catamaran cruise which is the main attraction of their holiday. This gift would be incredible and much better than a pair of socks and a cook book that they will probably put on just the next month.
A travel gift card is great for the final-minute gift
This is his birthday yesterday and have you not got a chance to buy a thoughtful and personal gift? Don’t worry, a travel gift card is great for it. You can buy it online quickly and then either send it directly to their email or print a copy of the card to pop inside their birthday card!
It is individual, it is exciting, this is the gift they really want and you don’t have to leave home to buy it!
Plan a local experience
If giving a complete holiday as a gift seems heavy, not expensive mention, then why don’t you give a local experience instead? The enjoyment of the journey is trying new things in new places, but this does not mean that you need to leave the country to do so.
Try a meal in your local city to try some new restaurants. Experience a farm or an animal encounter in the zoo. You do not need to travel far to feel that you are ‘traveling’. Even planning a picnic on a local beach is a grand experience that you will remember forever.
Planning the whole thing?
If you are really pushing the boat out and planning the whole thing then Kudos you. Very good. It is large and exciting and the best gift you can probably give.
But this is also on a large scale so I have some suggestions …
- If you are planning it for an adult with responsibilities, it is easy to tell that you are taking them on specific dates. You do not need to give them more information. I know that it is fun to surprise all, but you need to make sure that they do not plan and when they are away, everything like medicines happens. They also want to pre-hip a beauty treatment or arrange to arrange their cats to their cat or arrange to give water to their garden, while they are far away.
- Try and keep your destination secret as long as possible.
- If they need their passport, make sure you know where it is and it is in date!
- You may need to report the weather to them so that they can know what to pack.
- If you can also buy some new clothes for the holiday then you will get bonus points!
- When you come, do not forget about logistic extra from the airport and for some plan.
- Do not forget to tell other people that it is surprising, so no one removes it. Better yet, don’t tell anyone else!
- Consider planning Extreme day journey Instead of complete holiday, it is very easy!
Bonus gift
If you want to give a bonus gift to make this travel gift even more special, then why are there some pictures from the trip? You can print them and frame them, create some photo books or create some artwork for the wall. If it all seems like a lot of effort, just print some photos to stick to the fridge!
After all, traveling as a gift is about making all memories and having photos around your home, actually helps to keep memories alive.
I made it Magnetic gallery wall In my house and I still love it. I think each picture closes so easily and can be replaced and new memories are made, which are made new memories. I recommend extremely one and add a new picture after each holiday!
