Are you gifting travel to your family this year but aren't sure how to actually gift it? Here are a few ideas!
- Fill a box with hints about what they're doing or where they're going. When we gifted our children a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge a few years ago, we filled the box with wolf ears for each of them, new swimsuits for everyone, number balloons for the date that we were leaving and a simple, handmade puzzle (out of construction paper) that told them which month we were going.
- Make some faux tickets that have each person's names and location of where you're going. Could be plane tickets, boarding passes, ski passes, whatever!
- When we gifted our kids a trip to Disney World, there was a box with a Disney gift card for each of them (their spending money for the trip), their magic bands and a countdown chain to hang up since we wouldn't be leaving for several more months.
- Wrap up a book or two about the location you'll be visiting.
- Write down a bunch of hints/clues and turn in into a scavenger hunt!
- A friend who gifted a trip to Hawaii purchase a suitcase for each person and then filled it with items they would need for their trip. Sunglasses, swimsuits, sunscreen, hats, sandals, etc., and then topped it off with a plastic lei.
The ideas are endless! Be creative and have fun! Need some last minute travel gifts to fill those stockings, boxes or suitcases? Check out my Amazon store, where I have all of my favorite travel items for every travel destination!
