Giftly Blog Holiday Travel Gifts

One of the best parts of the holiday season is getting together with family and friends. However, not everyone lives close by. Some people move away for college, their careers, or other lifestyle reasons. Family and friends often spread out throughout the years and getting together with everyone for the holidays can be a feat. Additionally, the gift of a vacation can be a great present for family and friends who live nearby but want to take a trip later in the year. Since many people give tangible gifts for the holidays, the gift of an experience, vacation, or transportation is a unique and special present. We're here to help you find the best travel Giftlys for your loved ones. Let's take a look at a few! Booking PlatformsIf you have friends and family members who look forward to traveling during the holidays and planning every aspect of their trip, consider giving them the gift of anything on an online booking website or app. It's so convenient to book flights, hotels, and rental cars, among other things on sites like Expedia, Travelocity, and Booking. It's easy to browse through deals on airline tickets and hotel stays, while also specifying exactly what you're looking for. Both sites have websites that are easy to navigate as well as apps you can download right to your phone. As your family members and friends plan their trip home for the holidays, they can book roundtrip plane tickets, pick a hotel that accommodates everyone in their group, rent a car for a few days, and more. Whatever the case may be, Expedia, Travelocity, and Booking Giftlys are great options for individuals who need to plan out different elements of their trip ahead of time.Airlines For family members and friends who live far away and are traveling, airline tickets are almost a guaranteed cost for the season. Since being together is the most important gift of all, a Flight Home is a thoughtful and practical present that shows how much you care. Depending on where your loved ones live and what their airline preferences are, we offer Giftlys for American Airlines, United Airlines, Allegiant Air,Jet Blue, and Spirit Airlines, among other airlines. One thing to think about is that airline-specific gift cards sometimes come with date restrictions or lock the person into only being able to redeem the gift card for one airline. On the other hand, a Giftly gives the recipient more flexibility and no usage restrictions. In fact, you can send the gift of a Flight at Any Airline. You can also send a general Travel Giftly if you aren't sure what airline your recipient will end up using when they book their tickets. TransportationOverall transportation costs can add up, especially during the holiday season.If you want to help your family members and friends with a variety of costs, we offer Car Rental Giftlys that can be redeemed in any city, at any car rental company. Additionally, if your loved ones are driving their own cars but have to drive quite a bit, consider giving them a Gas Giftly or a Car Wash Giftly. HotelsSince there are so many different hotels all over the world, you may not know exactly which hotel your loved ones would like to stay at. You can take a look at all the Hotel Giftlys we offer and browse by location, depending on which city your recipient will want to stay in. Or you can also send your family and friends a Giftly for any hotel or hotel dining.On the other hand, if your loved one prefers vacation rentals, they can browse through different options on Vrbo. They can choose how fancy or casual they want their booking to be and filter by price and location. Additionally, maybe your friends and family members all live nearby and you don't need to send them a travel gift specifically for the holidays. If you want to give them the gift of a vacation that they can use at another time throughout the year, some of our most popular options are Encore Boston Harbor, Borgata Hotel, Rivers, and a variety of Ski Resorts.Happy HolidaysThere's nothing quite like going home for the holidays. If you have family and friends making their way across the country, why not help them out with some travel costs? Or if everyone lives close by, why not give them the gift of a vacation? Have fun browsing through our Travel Giftlys and personalizing your presents with holiday Greeting Cards!
