Create memories instead of clutter this year
with a AAA Travel Gift Card
Although we're always looking for that perfect gift to give our loved ones during the holidays, sometimes we fall short and end up giving things that just clutter up the home or get re-gifted; things you can't even remember giving or receiving after a few months. This year, instead of giving "stuff", consider giving an "experience" that will be sure to create wonderful and interesting memories that can be cherished forever -- such as the gift of travel.
It's easy - stop by a AAA Travel Center, select the amount you'd like to give, and purchase a AAA Travel gift card. You don't need to plan the trip yourself and hope they like it -- as a matter of fact we recommend you don't do that unless you know for sure their preferences and available dates. Then present the gift in a creative way. See some ideas below.
IDEAS FOR GIVING THE GIFT OF TRAVEL
- Hide the gift card in a travel-related item a swimsuit, Disney T-shirt, passport holder or a food or drink from a bucket-list destination.
- Wrap the gift card in a box using wrapping paper with airplanes, cruise ships, palm trees or the Eiffel Tower on it. Or wrap it in an old map!
- Include the gift card with a guidebook or a movie about possible destinations.
- Make a treasure hunt with clues about travel in general or about their dream vacation destination.
- Put it in a picture frame along with destination-related pictures and trinkets.
- Give it with a calendar so they can select a travel date and keep track of the vacation countdown.
However you choose to give this gift, your recipient is sure to be thrilled. When you factor in the excited anticipation, the vacation itself, and the lasting memories, your gift will last much longer than a new smart phone or the latest trendy toy.
