Last Minute Christmas Travel Gift Ideas

If you've left your gift shopping to the last minute but want some unusual Christmas gifts that will really make a statement, then a travel gift will do just that. Giving someone the gift of a vacation or trip away really is extra-special. You'll make their day if you choose a last minute travel gift!

Air Mile Certificates

If you want to contribute towards someone's travel but don't necessarily want to buy them specific tickets then you can buy air mile gift certificates. This gives more flexibility as to how much you need to spend - it's completely up to you. There are a number of ways to purchase these unusual Christmas gifts, but it's best to go to the specific airline and get hold of a voucher that way. The good news is that they are delivered very quickly, and some airlines even give your air miles account a special bonus when you buy for others!

Buying Full Packages

If you're buying for your partner or close family/ friend then you may choose to buy the full package instead. As above, you can visit a number of airlines or travel companies to book your flight and hotel. Surprise them on Christmas morning when you show them the email confirmation! You won't need to wait for the tickets to be delivered to make the recipient very happy with their gift!

Travel Brochures

Perhaps you'd like to give the recipient more control over where they want to go? In this case, quickly run out to the local travel agent - or print out some travel brochures from the internet - and hand them the brochures on Christmas morning. Let them know that you can plan your trip together. This gift is bound to put a smile on anyone's face!

Travel Accessories

Aside from the tickets themselves, you can also purchase a number of accessories that'll be useful for anyone planning to go traveling, and that can make unusual Christmas gifts on their own. Getting hold of some of these alongside the air miles/ flight will be a great way to make that gift extra special.

1) Toiletries Bag:

You could get a stylish bag full of mini toiletries that are useful when traveling. Fill this up with travel sized goods and wrap each one individually to make it more fun to unwrap the gift on Christmas day.

2) Sleep Masks:

It isn't easy to sleep when you're on an airplane, so getting a simple sleep mask could be a fantastic gesture. You can also get other comforting accessories such as ear plugs, blankets and more.

3) Entertainment:

An MP3 player or portable DVD player will always go down well as a gift for someone who's going on a long haul flight.

4) Travel Journal:

Lastly, the simple gift of a travel journal is easy to buy but also extremely thoughtful. It'll give them a space to write down everything they get up to on their trip!

Unusual Christmas gifts related to travel really are some of the most exciting options around Christmas. Who can fail to be disappointed when faced with the prospect of taking a trip away? Even if you plan it at the last minute, you're bound to make someone very, very happy!
