Give the Gift of Travel

11/19/2021

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season is beginning this week! We know that you may have friends or relatives who began buying all of their holiday gifts months ago, but if you're like us, you may just be getting started!

During normal years, this seemed easy enough. Head downtown to your local shops and purchase something unique for a friend or maybe you shop online for convenience of having something shipped directly to that relative who lives in another town or state. However, one of the added frustrations to the pandemic and global marketplace this year is the reality that our supply chain infrastructure is delayed at almost every turn. This means that while you used to be able to just go to a store or online site and find your gifts with relative ease, this year there may be a more limited supply and inventory.

But there is one gift that is still easily accessible and fun to gift--TRAVEL!

In addition to many people having a pent-up wanderlust from all of the pandemic stay-at-home orders, they might also be looking for something to give or receive rather than physical gifts.

Maybe instead of buying another Christmas tie or newest tech gadget, you could gift your family a cruise or adventure for everyone. Instead of asking for another piece of jewelry or cooking gadget, you could ask for a beachside getaway. Better yet, you could buy a fun, unique piece of jewelry in one of these beautiful locations!

When you look back on past holidays and celebrations, we're betting that many of the gifts you've received aren't even around anymore. Things get broken or lost, clothes don't fit, electronics become quickly outdated. And those things move to the back of your memory. But with travel, nothing is more memorable. Travel memories are long remembered and appreciated even after the trip is over. And at least this year, you won't need to worry about your gift being stuck on a container ship somewhere far away.
