3 Reasons why a Trip is the perfect Gift

Racking your brain for gift ideas this year? Worried it won’t arrive in time? Do something different by gifting a getaway. Here’s why it’s the perfect present: 

1) It’s unique.
While the holidays are full of jolly and cheer, gift buying can be the absolute worst. Spending hours on Amazon trying to hunt for the perfect present is time consuming and stressful. Stand out by gifting something irreplaceable – a memory. Planning a small getaway is thoughtful, unique, and means you’re basically giving yourself a present too! And it doesn’t have to break the bank. Search for a destination within a 2-hour driving distance where you can spend the day, research a few eateries and 1-3 attractions you can do together (these can be free, like a walking tour). 

2) It’s a chance to try something new.
Taking a trip is the best time to get out of your comfort zone and experience something out-of-the-box with your travel buddy. Is there a funky museum or food you’re curious about? Add it to your itinerary! Use apps like Groupon to find discounted attractions that will amp up your time in a new city.

3) You’re supporting local.
One of the best parts of the holidays is going to a market and getting one-of-a-kind gifts made by local vendors. Trips can offer that same warm and fuzzy feeling, but in a different way. Plan ahead and use tools like Yelp and Pinterest to discover foods or attractions specific to your destination so the money you’re spending goes right to the locals.
