Nested Gift Boxes

Nesting or nested boxes are the gifts that keep on giving - and they'll give the gift of a little laughter, too! Give a friend or family member the experience of opening several presents by trying this fun way to present a gift card. First, put the card in the smallest box and wrap it . Then, place the wrapped box within the next box, wrap it, and so on. Use tissue paper or shredded paper to cushion each box. The unwrapping process will be sure to get some chuckles, and the recipient will be pleasantly surprised to find the gift card at the end! If you don't want to purchase special nesting gift boxes, simply use recycled cardboard boxes in different sizes for the same effect.

DIY Gift Card Snow Globe

Snow globes are a traditional holiday gift, but this DIY spin on the classic globe can be a unique way to present a gift card. All you need is a mason jar, hot glue gun, water, glitter, and any other decorations you'd like to place in the globe. Just know this method will only work for plastic gift cards because they will be fully submerged in the water. Don't have time or patience to craft one yourself? You can buy a ready-made snow globe designed to hold a gift card.

Hide a Gift Card in a Jar of Candy

Imagine opening a jar filled with your favorite candy when you discover a second gift tucked in the center of the jar: Surprise - it's a gift card! Extend this joy to a loved one by placing a rolled piece of cardstock into a mason jar. Put the gift card into the cardstock, then fill the surrounding portion of the jar with their favorite candy. Skittles, M&M's, jellybeans, and Reese's Pieces work well for this, though you can also use almonds, dried berries, or granola for a healthier twist. Make sure to place a gift tag on the jar so everyone knows exactly who it's meant for.

Place a Card Inside a Mug or Tumbler

Everyone enjoys a hot beverage in the winter, so you can't go wrong by presenting a gift card in a mug. Find one with an image or message that reminds you of your friend or person you're giving the gift to; you can find some pretty cute mugs at Target, World Market, TJ Maxx, or Amazon. Fill the mug with tissue paper or crinkled paper shreds, then push the gift card halfway in so it's peeking out the top. If you know the recipient likes a certain type of tea, coffee, or chocolate, you can tuck a few into the mug as well. A tumbler with a lid and straw instead of a mug could also make a great choice.

Make an Easy Origami Envelope Gift Card Holder

A gift card presented in an envelope doesn't have to be boring, particularly if the envelope is handmade. A DIY origami envelope is a thoughtful and elegant way to gift a card, plus it won't take you more than a few minutes. You'll just need some decorative paper (wrapping paper works great!) cut into a 9-inch by 9-inch square. It can double as a business card holder after they spend the gift card!

Create a Crocheted Gift Card Holder

Are you feeling extra crafty? Consider crocheting a Santa-themed gift card holder . You will need prior crocheting experience or the willingness to learn a few basic stitches. However, the result will be an impressive gift card holder that can double as a coin purse or keepsake pouch.

Slip It in a Luggage Tag

Are you getting a gift card for the adventurer in your life? Or maybe it's a wedding gift for a couple who will be taking off on their honeymoon? Placing the gift card in a cute luggage tag can be a fun and unique idea. You can find luggage tags featuring clever sayings at most travel stores or even Target. If you have time leading up to the big day, it could be meaningful to have a personalized luggage tag made for your special explorer.

Try a Maze Gift Card Puzzle

Make the recipient work for their present by placing the gift card inside a maze. You can purchase maze boxes designed exactly for this purpose. Just open the maze, place the gift card inside, then place it under the tree. The receiver will have to unlock the puzzle before they can access the card.

Plan a Scavenger Hunt

If you want to give your gift card recipient a fun experience, you could try planning a scavenger hunt for them. This is especially fun when giving gift cards to a group of children or teens . Give them an envelope containing the first clue . Each clue can lead them to a different location in the home (or your neighborhood!), with the final clue leading them to the gift cards.

Make a Paper Backpack to Hold a Child's Gift Card

If you're giving a gift card to a kid in your life, you'll want to make it fun. Find a toy they'll enjoy, like a small plush bear, dinosaur figurine, or doll. Grab an envelope, two thin strips of tape, and glue or tape, and use it to craft a paper backpack for the doll to wear. Slip the gift card inside the envelope and place it under the tree. If you want to make the pack even more realistic, you can fashion an origami backpack . Your little one will fall in love with both the backpack-toting toy and the gift card it holds.

Zip It Into a Small Pouch

Pair the gift card with a small zippered pouch. You can find pouches with cute images or sayings on them, though you can also get one personalized with a photo or your loved one's name. The pouch makes it a fun gift to open, and they can use it as a coin purse or wallet. For a student, you could gift the gift card in a slender zippered pencil case instead.

Gift Multiple Cards as a Wreath

Are you giving an individual or family multiple gift cards? A creative way to present them is in the form of a wreath. Begin with a plain holiday wreath; it can be an artificial fir, grapevine, or whatever you prefer. Arrange the cards around the wreath, then use decorative clips to attach them. This gift card presentation is not only attractive, but it doubles as a decoration the recipient can use for many holidays to come.

Original Gift Card Presentation Ideas for Everyone

Whether this gift is for a loved one on Christmas morning or an office gift exchange , these fun ways to give gift cards will take your present to the next level. Choose the presentation method that works best for the person receiving the card and the time you have available . It's truly the thought that counts.

15 Creative Ideas to make your virtual Christmas Party successful

11.23.20   •  #christmas #ideas #party #presentation #powerpoint.

With Covid-19 still being around this December, we once again are facing new issues. Usually, it is the time of the year to get together with colleagues, friends and the entire family, and enjoy a good time together. But in an age where we are obliged to stay at home and practise social distancing, what can we do about our beloved Christmas parties? Luckily, we are here to the rescue, as we got 15 great ways to make this year's Christmas party virtual, and thereby safe for everybody. The following article includes games and other activities that are very entertaining and can be done online without a problem. These activities are perfect for both your business Christmas party and private Christmas parties.

1. Virtual Christmas Dinner

Going to a restaurant and dining together is one of the most common activities for Christmas parties, especially for company Christmas parties. Having some drinks, enjoying good food and having fun chatting with your colleagues or friends can definitely be considered a highlight in every year! However, going out to eat, especially with a large group of people, should definitely be avoided in current times and is even prohibited in some countries. If you still don't want to dispense with a dinner together, there are great virtual alternatives! Everyone could, for example, cook their favourite meal at home - then you meet & eat virtually while chatting with your fellow chefs about their meals. You could even decide on one recipe you all enjoy and everyone cooks the same meal at home: this will give you even more the impression of dining together! If some or all of you do not like to cook, you could always get take-out instead.

• dine together
• also possible for larger groups
• very natural & casual

2. Holiday Charades

You can never go wrong with a nice little round of charades! For those of you who don't know what charades is (is there anyone, really?): it's a game where you draw from a pot of words, act out said word (you're not allowed to talk), and your fellow players must guess what it is. Since you obviously cannot draw from the same pot of words when you're in a video conference, you will have to use another method. You can either a) let every person think of a word that they want to act out for themselves or b) use an online word generator like ( The Game Gal ), where you can choose the game "Holidays" and category "Christmas" to get words that are suited for your Christmas charades.

• get moving & be active
• fun activity
• great for smaller groups

3. Christmas Card Competition

This activity is the most fun if some or all of you know how to use Photoshop or similar software (but it also works if you don't, since you could easily use PowerPoint, Paint, or literally any other program that lets you manipulate or create images). It only takes a little preparation in advance, but it is definitely worth it: everyone creates a Christmas card - there are literally no boundaries here. You can go as wild on glitter, santa hats, and other cheesy elements as you want. In fact, naming the whole thing "Ugly Christmas Card Competition" makes it even more funny. Once you meet online, everyone shares their design and says a few words about it. If you want, you can choose a winner in the end (Who had the best/worst card?). This activity guarantees some good laughs, which we all need right now! P.S.: If you work in a design company, this activity is an absolute must!

• creative exercise
• especially for people who enjoy design

4. Gratefulness Exercise

Christmas is the time to be grateful for what you have, to review life and to appreciate the moment. Especially when times are hard, it is incredibly important to remind yourself of the things that are working out in your life and to really appreciate what you have. For this little activity, each person writes down what they are grateful for at the moment - it can be major things like a good relationship with your family or your job security, or just minor everyday things like the good breakfast you had today, or that the weather outside is nice. Once everyone has written down what they are thankful for, read your things out aloud. As more and more people share their positive thoughts, all of you will benefit from a real positivity-boost, too!

• strengthens mental health
• connects people
• no preparation needed

5. Sing (or listen to) Christmas Songs together

Christmas carols are an essential part of every Holiday party. For many, there is nothing better than getting together with loved ones and singing all the songs we know so well. Even though it is not as nice as singing together in person, singing together in a video conference can be really entertaining as well. Maybe there is even someone who can play the guitar or the piano while the others sing along? If none of you are keen on singing, you can always just listen to music instead. That way, you all can have a private concert featuring Wham!, Mariah Carey and many more at home!

• music connects people
• works with both small and larger groups

6. Would You Rather - Christmas Edition

"Would you rather" is a game where players are given two (im)possible scenarios, and they have to decide on which one they'd rather face. You can easily play it in video meetings, just be sure every participant has one sheet of paper that says "A" and one that says "B". (make sure the letters are readably on camera) Now, one of you is going to start reading the scenarios out loud. On the count of three, everyone holds either the "A" or the "B" card into the camera. You will definitely get some surprising answers - it is then always fun to discuss them in the group afterwards! There are tons of Would You Rather - scenarios that you can find online, but since it's for a Christmas party, we also wanted to give you some Christmas-related scenarios to work with:

Would you rather...

• A. have a carriage with flying reindeers
• B. have a little elf who follows you around and helps you with anything
• A. celebrate Christmas at home
• B. celebrate Christmas somewhere far away

Would (Do) you rather...

• A. buy presents on time / in advance
• B. buy presents last-minute shortly before Christmas Eve
• A. want "Last Christmas" to be the only song you can listen to for the rest of your life
• B. want "The Grinch" to be the only movie you can watch for the rest of your life
• A. spend Christmas in the snow
• B. spend Christmas on the beach
• A. never get any presents for Christmas
• B. never eat any Holiday dinner

Use SlideLizard and make the game even more fun!

If you want to see the results (as in percentages of people choosing A and B), and make voting as easy as possible, be sure to check out SlideLizard . That way, you can simply enter the questions on your PowerPoint slides, fellow players connect over their browser on their phone or notebook and can simply vote for their preferred option. You'll find out more about SlideLizard at the end of this article.

• also great for large groups

7. Holiday Pictionary

Pictionary is just like charades, but instead of acting out words, you have to draw them! There are even some online tools (like Scribble.io ), that automatically give you terms to draw and reward points to those who get it. But you could also easily adapt the game and just play it during a regular video conference: the person who draws just shares their screen, and then uses a software of their choice (like Paint, Photoshop, or GIMP) to draw the term. Just like with charades, you can either make up your own words, or you use an online word generator ( e. g. The Game Gal ), where you simply choose the game "Holidays" and category "Christmas" to get a variety of terms centred around Christmas.

• also for larger groups

8. Christmas Trivia

Most people LOVE trivia quizzes, and so do we! You really can't do anything wrong when going for a classic trivia game at your Christmas party, it doesn't matter if you play with your business colleagues, friends or family. It becomes especially great when you adapt the questions and centre them around Christmas. Feel free to use the ones we prepared here:

What is the Christmas tree's origin country?

• The Czech Republic

Which one of the following is NOT one of Santa's reindeers?

What is often used to decorate Christmas trees in Poland?

• spider webs
• ripped book pages

Which one of these is the best-selling Christmas song of all time?

• All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
• Last Christmas - Wham!
• Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid
• White Christmas - Bing Crosby

A Japanese tradition is to spend Christmas eve...

• away from your husband or wife.
• in Irish pubs.

Trivia Quizzes with SlideLizard

Conducting Trivia quizzes without the mess of people randomly shouting out answers (or nobody wanting to answer at all) can be tricky, especially online. We recommend using a tool like SlideLizard : the quiz participants can log in with a QR-code or a short URL in their favourite browser (on their mobile phone or laptop), and they will be able to vote directly over their device. That way, you will also be see the amount of people who voted for a certain answer.

• learn something new
• also works with very large groups

9. Storytime

This is a very casual exercise, but it definitely helps if you've somehow ran out of things to talk about during your online Christmas party! The concept is that everyone thinks of an interesting story about themselves (ideally involving Christmas) - and then tells that story to the others. As mentioned, this is very simple, but we love it, because you can learn so many fun new things about the people you're with. Especially when doing this activity with work colleagues at your business Christmas party, there are usually a lot of new interesting things you can learn about them. We often don't take enough time in our daily life to really listen and enjoy, so your online Christmas party might be the perfect place to finally do so!

• learn something new about friends/family/colleagues

10. Christmas DIY-Session

If a bunch of creative people get together for an online Christmas celebration, a little DIY-session is absolutely necessary! There are literally no boundaries as to what to do here, really (it depends on available time and skill, though). There are thousands of inspirations and tutorials online for little Christmas decorations, such as origami reindeer, crafting a candle holder, or making your own Christmas tree decoration. You can choose which one you would like to do (we recommend using a DIY-project with supplies most people have at home), and then get together in your virtual space, crafting together, chatting or listening to Christmas songs while doing so.

• make beautiful Christmas decoration

11. Christmas Karaoke

Unfortunately, we cannot visit our favourite karaoke bars at the moment. The good news is: you can make your own home a karaoke bar. And what's the only thing that is better than regular karaoke? Right, it's Christmas karaoke. So get out your best speakers, open YouTube and look for a karaoke version of your favourite Christmas song! Chances are everyone in the video conference will immediately join you and dance and sing along.

• get into Holiday-mood
• can be super funny

12. Share your favourite recipes

This again is a pretty easy activity you can do without much preparation. Christmas is a time for friends and family, but it is also a time for culinary highlights! So why not use your online Christmas party to share your favourite Holiday recipes with your friends or colleagues? It can be fun to learn what different people or families are cooking during the Christmas holidays, and it is a perfect source for inspiration. To take it to the next level, you could even show pictures or make whole presentations about your holiday food preferences. It is the ultimate activity if lots of foodies attend your Christmas party!

• improve cooking skills
• get new ideas

13. Year Review

Let's be honest: 2020 probably wasn't anyone's favourite year. Still, if we really think about it, most of us have had a lot of of positive experiences and beautiful moments. Stopping for a moment in December and reviewing the past year is something we all should do, and it is even better when we do it together! It helps to conclude the past 12 months, making us ready for the next 12 to come. So why not, for this year's Christmas party, let everyone briefly sum up their year? You can mention highs and lows, your favourite moments, special events, things you are proud of or grateful for, and basically anything else that comes to mind when thinking about this past year.

• draw a conclusion to this year

14. Two Truths and a Lie

"Two Truths and a Lie" is another game that is very popular due to it being both super easy and super fun. If you don't know the game - here's how it works: Every player thinks of 3 facts about themselves. 2 of them should be true, and one should be made up. The other players then have to guess which one of the statements is the lie. If you want to crown a winner, you can reward yourself one point for each lie that you have caught. And of course, if you play this game at your virtual Christmas party, be sure to give the facts a Christmas-y twist, such as: 1. As a kid, I didn't enjoy Christmas very much; 2. I've spent the last 2 Christmas eve's alone because my partner had to work; 3. I once forgot to buy my mother a Christmas present; (these are all made up, by the way!) This, again, is a great way to get to know your colleagues at a business Christmas party.

• little preparation needed

15. Dramatic Christmas Story Reading

There is an endless number of Christmas stories. And if you think that they're all just for kids, think again! Many have a truly deep meaning and truth in them, some are extremely funny, and some are really exciting. Maybe there are a few storytellers in your virtual Christmas meeting? If so, having two or three people read some stories is a great element in any holiday party! And for the very advanced story tellers or writers (or for people who aren't shy and want to try something different): why not do a Christmas-themed poetry slam? That will definitely be something to remember.

• get into Christmas-mood
• works for small and big groups

Are Gift Cards a Good Gift?

Creative gift card presentation ideas.

Gift cards make an excellent gift idea for a number of reasons. Their flexibility is perhaps the biggest draw. They cater to everything from favorite retailers to experience gifts like food tours and cooking classes. They also allow the recipient to be more active in picking out exactly what they would like to spend their funds on, and there's nothing better than getting precisely what you want!

From highly personalized selections to more general gifts such as those for office gift exchanges, gift cards offer a great and easy way to appeal to everyone. They’re also perfect gifts for someone who has everything .

1. With a Small Coordinating Object

A great gift card presentation idea is to pair the card with a small, inexpensive, but related gift item. This can be a foodie gift card attached to a new piece of kitchenware for the budding gourmet, or a coffee shop gift card attractively presented inside a mug or travel cup. While the card allows the recipient to spend the funds on their items and experiences of choice, the related item will forever be a tangible reminder of the gift.

2. Make a Candy Jar

A fun way to give a gift card is to create a candy jar of the recipient's favorite treats. Create an attractive container using a Mason jar filled with sweet treats or snacks. Attach the gift card to the outside or top of the jar, or place it inside against the glass or hidden under treats to make them forage for their gift. 

This gift card presentation idea is perfect for people with a sweet tooth or for children. It also works great for any kind of snack and with any size container. Candy jars also make great last-minute gift ideas .

3. Create a Handmade Envelope

Handmade envelopes and paper pouches are another wonderful gift card presentation idea. Create an attractive envelope or slip using new or recycled paper. Retailers like JOANN and Michaels carry a great assortment of fine handmade papers. There are a number of tutorials on how to fold your paper and fasten the corners, including ideas on how to decorate it with collage or embellishments to make it extra special.

4. Give It With a Bottle

Another great gift card presentation idea is to pair it with the recipient’s favorite beverage. Affix the gift card to anything from a wine bottle, a favorite hard liquor or even a bag of their favorite coffee. Sodas, seltzers and other beverages are also perfect options. This is great for grab bags, white elephant gift exchanges at gatherings around the holidays and last-minute Christmas gifts .

5. Create a Puzzle Box

A fun way to give a gift card is to create a handmade puzzle box they must solve to obtain the card. These can be as simple or advanced as you like. Boxes can be constructed out of existing boxes, cardboard or cardstock paper. A puzzle box, whatever the difficulty level, is an engaging way to present a gift card for children or curious, puzzle-loving adults.

6. Pop-Up Card or Booklet

If you're looking for an elaborate and creative way to give a gift card, consider crafting a fun pop-up envelope or booklet to display your gift card front and center. Tutorials online show how to create unique gift card presentations like this, including engaging designs that are as surprising and fun to give as they are to receive. They also evoke an element of surprise and whimsy that will be long remembered by the receiver.

7. Make a Fabric or Knitted Sleeve

An excellent gift card presentation idea, particularly in the winter months, is creating fabric or knitted pockets or sleeves for gift cards. This adds a cozy personal touch that allows you to tailor your gift sleeve’s print and color to the theme of the intended celebration — red and green for Christmas, for example.

Fabric pouches are simple to sew by hand or machine. While knitting or crocheting a pocket or sleeve for your card may require more advanced skills, they’re an excellent short afternoon project for even beginner knitters. If you aren't up to making the pouch yourself, you can always purchase or recycle one and add elements like buttons and trim, or hand stamp a design or message onto the pouch.

8. Make a Memory Book

A thoughtful gift card presentation idea is creating an accordion or handbound book album featuring mementos and photos personal to you and the gift recipient. Fold a long sheet of paper or cardstock into fourths or eighths, creating a system of pockets; one to include your gift card, others to include pieces of ephemera and printed images. These personal touches make the small book a great memory long after the card is gone.

This is a perfect idea for a gift card presentation for both family and friends you’ve known for a long time, and a great way to share experience gift cards .

9. Create a Gift Card Wallet

Another perfect presentation idea for gift cards is to create a wallet from paper or fabric to enclose the gift card. Make it a simple bifold design or add elements like buttons, latches or adhesive to close it. This idea also works perfectly when presenting several gift cards for group gifts. An alternative is to recycle an older wallet and decorate it with a design or image special to you and the recipient.

10. Fold It in Origami

A completely one-of-a-kind gift card presentation idea is to enclose your card in an origami sculpture. Animals, butterflies or other unique folded objects make memorable receptacles for gift cards. While folding the paper and engineering the shape may take a little practice, it’s more than worthwhile. This gift card presentation idea is especially great for children.

11. Attach an Ornament

For the holidays, ornaments make great accompaniments to gift cards. If you’re feeling especially crafty, make a simple fabric or paper ornament to hang on a tree. You could also purchase a special or handmade ornament, which will forever serve as a reminder and point of connection long after the gift card has been spent.

12. Deck of Gift Cards

For holidays or other gatherings, a fun gift card presentation idea is to create a deck of cards with several gift cards secreted inside. Each participant draws a card from the deck as it makes its way around the room. Some are just regular cards, but the lucky will draw the actual gift cards as prizes. This works perfectly for office parties or large family gatherings and is a fun ice breaker activity for people you would like to get to know.

13. Put It in a Snow Globe

Another fun holiday gift card presentation idea is to create a simple snow globe. Place the gift card inside a mason jar and then use small seasonal items and fake snow or glitter to decorate the interior and outside of the jar. Think animal figures, miniature ornaments and small trees. The jar can remain a favorite décor item long after the occasion.

Creating snow globes can also be a fun group or kids’ activity. Children love to create them, so this is an excellent option for having them make holiday gifts for teachers .

14. Include a Toy

A cute gift card presentation idea for kids is to attach the gift card to a small toy or inexpensive stuffed animal. This is particularly cute if you arrange the card so that it looks like the animal or doll is “presenting” the gift card. Stock up on small stuffed toys and dolls at dollar stores and thrift shops to keep them on hand for gift card giving occasions.

15. Gift Card Bouquet

An excellent gift card presentation idea, particularly for group gifts, is a gift card bouquet. These can be created using pipe cleaners and tissue paper to fashion flowers with gift cards at their centers. This unique gift card presentation idea works perfectly for new mom and baby shower gifts, with cards assembled from a number of different places and retailers. It’s also an excellent gift card presentation idea for new homeowners or housewarming parties. 

16. Attach It to Art or Classroom Supplies

A fun gift card presentation idea for end-of-year teacher gifts is to create a bouquet of markers or pencils. The card is a personal gift, but you are also providing some badly needed classroom supplies for the next year. Switch out the classroom supplies for paint brushes or professional grade markers or drawing pens, and this becomes a great gift idea for budding artists. 

17. Bath and Body Items

A great idea when presenting a personal care gift card is to pair it with a favorite small cosmetic or bath and body item like perfume, bath gel or lotion. This works perfectly for giving a spa day card or a card for the recipient's favorite bath and body or cosmetics store. Retailers often offer small sample sizes of their most popular products that make a perfect accompaniment to a gift card.

18.  Create a Custom Gift Pouch or Bag

A cute and recycle-friendly gift card presentation idea is to create a small bag or pouch from recycled paper. Great ideas include leftover gift wrap or the comics section of the newspaper. Magazine pages also create visually interesting packaging. You can always add other small items to the bag with the card, like stickers, toys or sample-sized offerings related to the gift card.

19. Make a Gift Card Wreath

Another fun gift card presentation idea for group settings is a gift card wreath. Place decorative envelopes on a wreath, attach them with clips and then draw names, with each participant choosing one of the cards. Vary the amounts of the cards and make a game of it, allowing players to swap, barter and scheme for their desired cards.

How to present a weekend away or a holiday as a gift

By: Author Monica

Categories Travel Tips

Are you looking for ideas about how to give a holiday as a gift!? Well you are in the right place! I have so many fun, thoughtful, exciting and easy ways to present a holiday as a gift.

I’ve written lots of travel themed gift guides over the years but, realistically, the best gift you can give a travel lover is a holiday! 

No one really wants fancy luggage tags or passport holders, we just want to be whisked away on holiday.

A weekend away is the best present ever and it’s even better because you get to share in that gift too. And, let’s be honest, it’s much nicer to spend an evening on the sofa searching for hotels than it is battling your way through the crowds as you buy presents on the high street!

The only problem with giving someone a weekend away or a holiday as a gift is that they don’t have anything physical to open on Christmas day/their birthday/Valentine’s Day etc.

I don’t care how old you are, it’s always nice to have an actual present all wrapped up with a pretty bow. And as the gift giver it’s nice to see their face as they unwrap their present and realise where they’re going.

So here are some creative ways you can give travel as a gift and present your loved one a physical present.

If you haven’t got a trip booked yet, here are 52 weekend away ideas to get you started!

Should you keep the whole holiday a surprise or tell them beforehand?

When you’re gifting a holiday, you can either keep the whole thing a secret until just before you leave or you can use one of these ideas to give a holiday as a gift prior to the trip.

I think it’s a wonderful idea to keep the whole thing a surprise but, realistically, it’s difficult to do for adults. It’s easier for children who don’t have busy schedules and don’t make their own plans, but adults have complicated schedules and it could be difficult to pause their social life and their work life without them knowing!

It’s definitely much easier to tell them beforehand and gift them their holiday in one of these fun and creative ways!

I recently surprised my husband with a surprise honeymoon to Menorca and did something in between! I’d told him we were going away to our caravan in Abersoch because we’d spent all of our wedding budget but I’d secretly booked a holiday to Menorca to stay stay at Barcelo Nura 5* all-inclusive !

Organising a surprise holiday like this worked really well because Sam knew the dates we were going away…we just went somewhere a million times better than he expected! This ensured he booked the dates off work, didn’t make plans for while we were away and didn’t become suspicious when I was doing all my normal pre-holiday jobs and organising my own suitcase!

We needed to leave our house at 5am to make our flight so I’d planned to wake him up in the morning at 4.45am and tell him we were leaving. But I started to panic it would be too stressful so I ended up telling him just before we went to bed the night before! He was really pleased I’d told him because he wanted to organise his own bag and he would have felt really confused and disorientated being whisked away to the airport at 5am!

Happy gifting and happy travels!

How to present a holiday as a gift

1. give them a guidebook.

Buy them a guidebook to the destination you’re visiting. You’ll see the flicker of confusion that runs across their face as they open a Lonely Planet to Venice and wonder why on earth you’ve bought this. They then put on their fake smile as they graciously accept this random present…then it finally clicks and you see their face light up when they realise what the real present is!

2. Have a suitcase packed for them

This one takes a bit of organisation and you’ll need to know the other person REALLY well but if you can pull it off it’s a great way to surprise them. Pack a suitcase for them and then wrap up the suitcase for them to open. They’ll probably be really confused as to why you’ve wrapped up an old case but this is still a great way to surprise them.

Bonus tip: If you know the person really well and you’ve got extra money to spend, fill the case with new clothes for them to wear while you’re on holiday.

I did this recently during a surprise holiday to Menorca for our honeymoon! My husband and I weren’t planning on going away after we got married because we’d spent all of our wedding budget! But I managed to hold some back and book a surprise trip. I was so pleased with myself!

We were only away for four nights and it was a relaxed holiday so I was confident packing his suitcase for him. I packed some of his trusty favourite items but then had fun buying him some new clothes too. I had a little spree at Tog24 and got him some lovely shirts and shorts.

It was a really nice feeling for Sam to arrive in a new destination with a suitcase full of new clothes!

3. Give them a diary with your holiday dates marked in

This one works particularly well if you’re giving a holiday as a Christmas gift as a new diary initially seems like a very normal present. But this is a dairy with a difference because you will have already marked a special trip in it!

You may need to pop a post-it note or even your tickets in the page of the diary to make sure it opens there – it could get boring asking them to flick through every date!

4. Give them mini clue presents

Let’s say you’re taking your loved one to Paris for the weekend, you could give them a mini Eiffel Tower statue, some French brie, some French wine or a beret. Or you could be a bit more cryptic and give them a series of more difficult clues to help them figure out where you’re going.

5. Wrap up their passport

If you’ve already spent your entire present budget on your weekend away then why not just wrap up their passport? Keep it a secret as to where you’re going for added excitement!

6. Make them a voucher

Keep things cheap with a DIY voucher for your weekend away. You could even make a voucher booklet for different parts of your trip such as a romantic meal, a luxury hotel, a spa treatment and breakfast in bed. You can download gift vouchers here for a professional template.

7. Write a poem

You don’t need to be William Wordsworth to write a poem – the simpler the better in my opinion! Write a poem explaining what’s going on and watch their face change from confusion to delight as they read it out!

Have you ever given the gift of travel and how did you present it?

Bonus tip: Try WowTrip

If you’re not overly confident booking a holiday or you don’t know where to take the person, why not try WowTrip?

WowTrip is a company who offer surprise holidays. Basically, you choose your dates and your departure airport and they book everything for you. Prices start from £150pp and they’ll reveal where you’re going just before you fly. It’s really exciting and takes a lot of the stress and hassle out of booking a holiday.

I’ve taken two WowTrips and I loved them. I’ve written about my first one here when I went to Brussels: WowTrip review: Would you take a mystery holiday?

How to give a holiday as a gift for a control freak!

Lots of people will be panicking about giving a holiday as a gift for someone who is…for want of a better word…a total control freak! Lots of people wouldn’t like the idea of having everything organised for them and many people wouldn’t like to have their suitcases packed for them!

If this is the case then I’d recommend just buying their flights and gifting them the flights as their present. You can then look at booking the hotel together and arranging your day trips and things together.

You can then add extra little surprises onto the trip, such as having champagne waiting in your room or other little presents or surprise days out for when you arrive.

Other things to think about when giving a holiday as a gift

There are other things you’re going to need to consider when you’re giving someone a holiday as a gift.

• Have they booked time off work?
• Does someone need to look after their plants or their pet?
• How will you stop them making plans for the time you’ll be away?
• How will you stop them doing things like arranging a food shop to be delivered while you’re away?
• Have they got travel insurance?
• Do they need any medication?

Keeping costs down when giving a trip as a gift

It sounds extravagant when you talk about giving a holiday as a gift but it really doesn’t need to be.

Take a look at Skyscanner and find some cheap flights somewhere new. I’ve recently had flights to Marrakech , Krakow , Tallin and Vilnius for less than £20 return. Book them for a future date so you then have time to save for accommodation and spending money together.

If you’re trying to keep costs low, make sure you book cheap flights to a cheap destination. I recently made the mistake of booking cheap flights to Ibiza and then realised there is no way to do Ibiza on the cheap!

Another cheap option would be to book a local glamping experience or take a look at a site like TravelZoo for amazing packages. I had an incredible Transylvania package holiday for £300 and it was amazing. It included a stay in an ice hotel and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure around Transylvania.

Have you got any more ideas about how to give a trip as a gift?

That would be the best present - wrapping up currency from the country can work too (assuming it's something you can get hold of)

Thursday 15th of December 2016

That's kind of a cute. I wish to have that gift too. Good Idea!!!
