Travel broadens the mind, so no wonder if makes a great gift idea.
Some of my fondest memories are from my travels within the UK and abroad.
See things you have not encountered before, and experience things you never thought you would. Whether it’s a short hop in a helicopter or a short luxury break to mainland Europe, there’s something to suit everyone here.
Here I list some of my top suggestions on travel-themed gift ideas. Whether you are searching for a gift idea for a travel addict or for someone who barely steps outside their home town, you’ll find a wide variety of trips and experiences below.
Skills
If a picture paints a thousand words, a photograph can speak volumes. But if yours are full of fingertips or headless figures that aren’t even fit for Facebook, then it’s time to try a digital photography course.
Short Break
Sometimes you just need to get away from it all and a short break is an ideal way to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. These options are mainly one and two night escapes in hotels to suit all budgets.
Sightseeing
Ditch the doldrums, escape the British weather, and inject a little “ooh la la” into your life with a trip to one of Europe’s sizzling hotspots. Just a mere two hours from London is the capital of love, Paris.
Sightseeing
We all love TV – from iconic moments to scripts we can all recite perfectly, whether it’s comedy, drama, crime, or something scary, it’s a ritual that is enjoyed by all ages and all interests; that moment when it’s time to switch the TV on and relax.
Sightseeing
Visiting London any time soon? You’ll be busy beavering away looking for the best attractions the nation’s capital has to offer, no doubt. You’ve got your work cut out, especially if you plan to work through the thousands of suggestions on TripAdvisor.
Sightseeing
Step into your Sunday best and climb aboard either the Belmond British Pullman or Belmond Northern Belle luxury train for gleaming carriages and a taste of glamour in this golden age experience.
Sightseeing
As experiences go, helicopter flights are the new black. What could be better than going for a spin in one of the coolest crafts around? Kick back in style as you’re whisked onto cloud nine, soaring over patchwork fields, picking out famous landmarks and nosing into back gardens.
Sightseeing
Paris has romance, Belgium has chocolate-box appeal and Amsterdam has pretty much anything you could ever wish for. And London? Probably one of the best cityscapes in the world, with some pretty awesome buildings to boot.
Relaxation
I don’t know about you, but I could probably benefit from back-to-back spa breaks for the next ten years. Modern life is pretty stressful. Spa breaks are a great way to combine a short break with some much-deserved TLC.
Short Break
Amsterdam. It’s a cultural magnet, it’s on the doorstep, and is just an overnight sailing away. So why wouldn’t you enjoy a short break to the Dutch capital? You’re spoilt for choices when you get there.
