Airfare/Travel Experiences
Because nothing makes a traveler happier than receiving an airfare to somewhere! Experiences always make for amazing travel gifts. You can either buy them a gift certificate to a particular airlines, or if you know of a place they are going to, buy them an experience at the destination. It can be something they have always been wanting to do (skydive in Kauai, paraglide in Lauterbrunnen, soak in the Blue Lagoon in Iceland), something iconic at their destination (climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Sydney, hiking the Great Wall in Beijing, taking Tango lessons in Buenos Aires) or something they might not even know about. Not only will they be surprised, but they’ll forever remember it.
