Every holiday season, we hunt for the perfect gift—something meaningful, memorable, and maybe even magical. But how many of those gifts end up forgotten by New Year’s Day? If you’re tired of giving (or receiving) more stuff, here’s a better idea: give the gift of travel. It is exciting, heartfelt, and way more impactful than another scented candle. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend escape, a big bucket-list adventure, or a relaxing retreat, a trip is the kind of gift that creates stories, not clutter.

Why Travel Makes the Best Holiday Gift
💬 "They might forget what you gave them… but they’ll never forget where you took them."
Here's why travel is the ultimate holiday gift:
• It creates lasting memories – A shared sunset on the beach or a surprise snowfall in the Alps will stay with them long after the holiday lights come down.
It – Travel strengthens bonds between partners, families, and friends like no other gift can.
It – First in the anticipation, then in the actual experience. It’s a gift that keeps giving.
It – A break from daily life, a reset, and a breath of fresh air—something everyone could use after a busy year.
Holiday Travel Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List
Need inspiration? Here are thoughtful ways to gift travel this holiday season:
For Your Partner
Plan a surprise trip to Paris, Venice, or a cozy mountain lodge. Wrap a travel-themed candle, itinerary, or a love note as a teaser under the tree. This surprise will surely spark joy and excitement.
For the Kids or Family
Instead of more toys, consider a magical adventure to Disney World, a snowy cabin retreat, or a beach week filled with pool time. Memories beat screen time—every time.
For Your Best Friend
Gift them a wellness weekend or yoga retreat. Imagine spa treatments, peaceful views, and catching up over matcha or wine. It’s a chance to bond and refresh.
For Parents or Grandparents
Surprise them with a river cruise, a trip to their dream destination, or a heritage-inspired journey to explore family roots. This can strengthen family ties while creating new memories.
For College Grads or Young Adults
Think about guided European tours, adventure travel, or even assisting them with planning their first solo trip. It’s a confidence-building experience they'll cherish.
How to “Wrap” a Trip
You don’t need to print out plane tickets to make it special. Try one of these festive ways to present your gift:
Custom Reveal Box
Fill a holiday gift box with travel-themed clues—like a travel guide, luggage tag, or destination-inspired ornament.
Travel Gift Card
Give them freedom with a flexible travel voucher they can use whenever they're ready.
Itinerary-in-a-Box
Work with DPP Travel to create a customized itinerary. Wrap it with a passport holder or travel journal.
Gift with a Theme
Giving a beach trip? Pair it with a sunhat and sunscreen. Planning a winter getaway? Add a scarf or gloves. This adds a personal touch to the gift.
Why Travel Is the Holiday Gift That Keeps On Giving
Gadgets break. Clothes go out of style. But the feeling of watching fireworks in another country or sipping hot chocolate at a Christmas market? That kind of joy lasts a lifetime.
Right now is the ideal time to start planning. Booking early means securing the best rates, better flight options, and a wider selection of accommodations. Plus, it gives your loved ones something magical to look forward to.
