Wondering what to give for a gift this year? Looking for something different than your usual ideas?
You’re looking for a special gift for a special friend or loved one. But, you just don’t know what to do.
How about giving travel? That’s right…Travel.
Here are a few ideas to get you started thinking.
1…Accommodations: Give a free night at a hotel or a gift card to Airbnb, bedandbreakfast,com, or any hotel chain. These are usually open to dates the person chooses.
2…Airfare: While airfare is probably non-refundable, give a gift card from an airline. Check to see if that airline flies into the person’s home airport before you spend the money.
3…Car Service: How about an Uber gift card?
4…Museums: Check out museums in the person’s home town or one they like to visit and buy them a membership. If that’s not in your budget, how about a day pass?
5…Food Tours: Many cities have food or specialized tours. A gift certificate might be just the thing.
6…City Pass: Many cities also have City Passes, where attractions are discounted. Check to see if the city nearby has one.
7…Classes: Cooking classes, wine tasting classes, cheese tasting classes are all fun things they might not do on their own. Pick one which will interest your friend.
8…Eating: Face it…who doesn’t like to get a gift certificate to a restaurant? Give them one to a favorite or surprise them with a new and different place.
9…Surprise: Is there a NASCAR driving school they’ve always wanted to go to? How about an in-depth cooking class at the CIA? Maybe it’s a private lesson from a ski instructor in Breckenridge. Whatever it is…this might be your opportunity to give a bucket-list gift.
Whatever you do…it will certainly be different than socks!
