‘Tis that time of year when we all start to scramble for ideas on that “perfect gift” for family and friends.
What if, instead of buying one more toy or one more tool or one more outfit….. we spend our money on making memories together?
By choosing to gift a vacation, you create an anticipation of the trip that leads to excitement upon leaving for the trip and then the enjoyment of the actual trip. And during all of this time you are making memories.
Who hasn’t seen the videos of parents surprising their kids with a trip on Christmas morning? The look of utter excitement and joy on those little, and not so little, faces basically forces you to smile.
Imagine your kiddos and their excitement upon opening a box, bag or envelope and learning that you’re all going on an adventure together. Whether it’s to a theme park haven like DisneyWorld, or on a cruise, or to an exotic (or not) locale…. they know that you’ve planned this for everyone to have FUN. And THAT is the first reason why gifting travel is an amazing gift to give.
When you take the time to create a trip that encompasses the needs and wants of everyone involved, that tells someone that you care enough to pay attention to all the little things that make them smile. The feeling that you get when you know someone has taken that time and energy for YOU…. it’s nothing short of amazing.
So…. when you’re starting those shopping lists for all your loved ones this holiday season… stop for a second and think about how much fun you could all have TOGETHER on a vacation. And then give me a call or drop me a message and let’s get started making plans for YOUR family or friend group to make some absolutely magical memories TOGETHER!
