Consider the Gift of Travel

​Most people don’t remember the gifts they received last year. How about giving them something that comes with lifelong memories?

Have you thought about giving the gift of travel this Christmas?  There is no gift like it! The whole family gets to enjoy the trip together, and they return with amazing memories. Can you imagine the surprise on their faces when they open your package? Instead of a present from Amazon, they receive a cruise or an island getaway.

How do you deliver travel? Gift certificates are a great option. Your loved one can use this towards a destination of their choice, which is especially helpful if you aren’t sure where they would like to go. Your travel agent will be able to provide gift certificates for future travel.

My favorite option is a travel package to an exciting destination. Wrap the gift with subtle clues using tags and stickers that hint about their trip. A friend of mine did this for a trip to Disney World. Her kids were ecstatic, and they still say it was the best Christmas present ever. Find creative ways to surprise them with a journey they’ll love.

Let’s start looking at some vacation gift ideas. For someone who’s a beach lover, you can’t go wrong with Turks and Caicos.  With its powdery white sands, superb diving, and its turquoise blue water, it has some of the world’s best beaches. The islands are just a short 90-minute flight from Miami. It boasts world-class resorts and restaurants, which makes it a favorite celebrity rendezvous. The temperature is typically in the 80’s, so it is a great year-round destination.
