Give the Gift of Travel This Holiday Season

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’s 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 brings people closer – Travel strengthens bonds between partners, families, and friends like no other gift can.

•It brings joy twice – First in the anticipation, then in the actual experience. It’s a gift that keeps giving.

•It offers peace of mind – A break from daily life, a reset, 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 snowy mountain lodge. Wrap a travel-themed candle, itinerary, or love note as a teaser under the tree.

For the Kids or Family: Instead of more toys, plan a Disney World adventure, a snowy cabin retreat, or a beach week filled with pool time and bonding. Memories beat screen time—every time.

For Your Best Friend: Gift them a wellness weekend or yoga retreat. Picture spa treatments, peaceful views, and catching up over matcha or wine.

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.

For College Grads or Young Adults: Think guided European tours, adventure travel, or even help 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 guidebook, luggage tag, or destination-inspired ornament.

Travel Gift Card: Give them freedom with a flexible travel voucher they can use when ready.

Itinerary-in-a-Box: Work with DPP Travel to create a customized itinerary, then wrap it with a passport holder or travel journal.

Gift with a theme: Giving a beach trip? Pair it with a sunhat and sunscreen. Winter getaway? Add a scarf or gloves.
