1. Make the reveal a fun little surprise

Alright, let’s start with an easy one!

Honestly, one of the best ways to give travel as a gift is simply by making the reveal a bit more exciting through packaging. These days, there are tons of fun options, from an adorable little premade suitcase box that comes with a passport scratch card to a cool explosion box you can fill with photos and on-theme details.

The cutest way to gift a surprise trip! This travel-themed set allows you to write down your destination and turn it into a scratchcard... all housed in a tiny suitcase.

Want a gift reveal with wow factor? Hide your travel surprise inside this explosion box (decorated with cute details about your destination) and watch their eyes light up.

Looking for an adorable, memorable and low-effort way to surprise someone with a trip? This pop-up box card is perfect, with tons of cool options for the world's most popular vacation spots (just check their shop for the full selection).

Ever wished you could rig a scratch card to win...? Here's your chance! This clever product allows you to fill in a custom prize for a scratch card that looks otherwise like an average one you'd grab from the shops!

2. Get them a Tinggly Box

Looking for something even easier? A Tinggly Box can help with that. They offer thousands of unique experience gifts worldwide, all of which can come in a nice giftable box for a small extra fee. If you’re undecided on what experience to gift them exactly, they also have their classic boxes which include thousands of potential options. Perfect if you’re looking for an easy option!

The simplest way to gift experiences! This nifty gift box is filled with hundreds of potential travel experiences that the recipient can choose for themselves, taking the guesswork out of knowing what experience to buy. Until June 16 - Use the code WANDER20 for 20% off!

3. Gift them a mockup boarding pass

If you’re being the ultimate gift giver and surprising someone with a flight or full-on trip, then another cute idea would be to print out a mock boarding pass that announces all the details (or some vague details, if you don’t have the whole thing figured out yet).

There are a lot of great options for this these days. On the fancier end of the spectrum, there’s places you can get thick ones printed with elaborate gold leaf details, or if you wanna save some money (gifting flights isn’t cheap after all), then you can just use my free printable here.

For a classy keepsake that's ideal for gifting someone with a travel experience, look no further than these customizable boarding passes lined with gold details and beautiful design!

4. Hide the reveal in a fun card

If you want a way to gift travel that’s a bit more low-key, another easy idea is simply announcing the surprise in a card.

But as you can imagine, I’m not someone that simply does “normal cards”. I’d strongly suggest a cool travel-themed card, whether it’s a free one you print online (like the one below) or a cool one you buy. As usual, the more personal the better!

Definitely a more low-key option for gifting travel, but an adorable one nonetheless that makes a great keepsake. This pop-up card is perfect for revealing an experience gift - just write it inside the card alongside the opening suitcase.

5. Fake them out with a decoy gift

Admittedly, this one is kind of diabolical, but I do think it’s a fun idea. As an oft-diabolical person, this may be one of my favourite ways to gift travel.

The idea is simple: wrap up and gift them something MUCH less exciting than your travel/experience gift, then pull a switch and reveal your true gift after they’ve lowered their expectations.

Some ideas include…

• A gift box with goodies from the place you’re travelling to, making them think THAT’S the whole gift when at the bottom there’s a boarding pass/trip announcement
• Taking them out to dinner at a restaurant with the cuisine of your destination, saying it’s because they’ve always wanted to go, then surprising them with the fact that you ARE going in the future
• Hide the voucher in a diversion safe and make them think you got them a crappy gift, like a can of corn or a lint roller

Hide your gift in this and watch the confusion unfold. BONUS: it serves a practical purpose after the ruse is done - it can be used to conceal valuables in a discrete way!

6. Reveal the answer to them in a puzzle

For an added element of suspense to the travel gift reveal, consider making them work for it by hiding the destination in a puzzle.

A lot of online makers these days sell cool customizable puzzles that you can get printed with your destination of choice.

For a lower-cost solution though, you can just print or write out the destination/surprise on a piece of paper, then cut it up in a few pieces and throw them in an envelope.

If you want to reveal your travel gift in the form of a puzzle, this done-for-you solution is the ideal choice if you're low on time and want impressive results.

7. Make a scavenger hunt that leads to the surprise

And on the note of “making them work for it”, you could even take things a step further and organize a full-on scavenger hunt before the grand reveal. This idea could be combined with some of the other options on this list, making a cool boarding pass or card the final prize after they solve all the clues …. or if you want to go full nerd with it, you could even hide the surprise in a Cryptex, and make them hunt for letters that spell out the key to opening it!

Conceal your surprise voucher, boarding pass, etc. in this Cryptex for optimal mystery points.

8. Gift them a guidebook… with a ticket as the bookmark

Or okay, maybe a more practical solution than a random Cryptex would be to gift them a guidebook or travel journal instead. Then, when they seem surprised by the gesture, you reveal there’s a bookmark in there too, with a gifty boarding pass or voucher in there acting as the bookmark. Genius.

9. Buy them something they’ll need for the trip

In a similar way, you could also buy them something useful and practical that they’ll need for your surprise trip/experience, from packing cubes to hanging toiletry bags … then when they thank you for the gift, casually mention that they’ll be needing them for their trip to _____.

Stuck on what to gift them for this practical decoy? My list of travel gifts might be able to help!

I adore packing cubes because they keep everything organized and can help you save space by squishing and condensing all your stuff. I've tested a bunch of the top brands and this set is my favourite.

10. Give them options to choose from

I’m stealing this idea on how to gift travel from my boyfriend, who has started gifting me with getaway options as my Christmas present each year, which I love because it makes me feel like I’m on a game show or something with different prize packages!

The idea is simple: pick 3 (or more) options for fun getaways or experiences you think they’d like, put them in fun envelopes (the more glam and dramatic the better) and then have them open each one and decide which of the options they’d like to choose.

This idea for gifting travel is most ideal if you want to make sure your experience/trip is 100% something they want, and also great if you’re indecisive and can’t commit to one particular getaway.

If you want an impressive way to dress up printed vouchers or a non-physical gift, these colourful and adorable ribbon-tied envelopes add the perfect touch of elegance and whimsy.

11. Pair a Gift Card with an Itinerary/Recommendations

Lastly, I have a cute recommendation if you want to give the gift of travel or an experience, but don’t necessarily have the budget to pay for an entire trip or big activity.

Remember: not every travel experience gift needs to be a hot air balloon ride in Bora Bora.

Even something like a prepaid Visa for twenty bucks can be thoughtful if you dress it up with a card that has cafe recommendations for the next place they travel, or suggested things for them to spend it on.

Some ideas might include…

• Recommendations for a cool cafe, restaurant, etc. to visit with your gift card (either based on personal experience or research)
• A suggested mini-itinerary for a day in their trip
• Give them options on things to spend it on (like a choice of detours on the Amazing Race)

I Hope You Enjoyed This Roundup of Ways to Give the Gift of Travel!

How to Make a Simple DIY Pop Card

Making a DIY pop-up card is a fun and easy way to express your creativity and make someone’s day special. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making a basic pop-up card, perfect for any occasion.

Materials You’ll Need:

• Cardstock or heavy paper
• Colored paper for decorations
• Glue or double-sided tape

Step 1: Prepare Your Card Base

• Take a piece of cardstock and fold it in half to create your card base.
• Sharpen the crease by running a ruler or the edge of a hard object along it.

Step 2: Design Your Pop-Up Element

• Choose a simple shape for your pop-up feature, such as a star or heart.
• Draw the shape on a separate piece of colored paper and carefully cut it out.

Step 3: Make the Pop-Up Mechanism

• Cut two strips of paper about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. These will become the support for your pop-up shape.
• Fold each strip into a ‘Z’ shape with equal-sized tabs at each end.

Step 4: Attach the Pop-Up Mechanism

• Apply glue to the end tabs of your ‘Z’ shaped strips.
• Stick one tab to one side of the inside crease of your card, aligning it so the strip stands upright when the card is opened.
• Repeat with the second strip on the opposite side, ensuring they’re parallel and there’s enough space between them for your pop-up element.

Step 5: Attach Your Pop-Up Element

• Apply glue to the top of the ‘Z’ strips.
• Place your cutout shape onto the glued tabs, positioning it so that it pops up when the card opens but lies flat when the card is closed.

Step 6: Personalize Your Card

• Write a heartfelt message inside your card with a pencil or markers.
• Decorate the front and inside of the card with additional paper cutouts, stickers, or any other decorative items you like.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

• Check your card for any excess glue or paper trimmings and clean up as needed.
• Allow any glue to dry completely before closing the card.

Tips for Success:

• Neat folds are key—make sure your paper is folded sharply for a smooth operation.
• When attaching pop-up elements, make sure they align with the fold of the card base to ensure a proper pop-up action.
• For a clean look, focus decorations around your central pop-up feature to avoid clutter.

Making a DIY pop-up card is an enjoyable activity that adds a unique and personal touch to any message you wish to convey. Don’t stress about perfection; the thoughtfulness and effort you put into your card are what truly make it special.

11 Great America Tips & Tricks: How to Make the Most of Your Day

A premier family destination, California’s Great America has been entertaining the public for over 40 years.

Located in Santa Clara, about one hour south of San Francisco, California’s Great America hosts dozens of rides and attractions as well as shows and special events throughout the year. With so many attractions to see and experience, you want to come prepared to get the best deals and avoid long lines. Use these Great America tips to have a guaranteed great trip!

1) Before You Arrive

Preparing before you arrive at the theme park is key. Consider the weather, how you want to eat that day, and how you want to spend the day at the park. Some general helpful tips include:

• Bring sunscreen! California’s heat is no joke.
• Bring outerwear for cooler weather. You can keep it in a locker until you wish to wear it.
• Download the California’s Great America app on your phone
• Prioritize preferred rides and attractions

2) What Does Admission Include?

Your admission ticket to California’s Great America includes all rides, live shows, and attractions. Additionally, your ticket also includes admission to Boomerang Bay waterpark. However, this does not include pay-per-play games or attractions, or special events hosted in the park.

Guests can also purchase season passes of varying tiers, and even have the option of paying the fee in installments. You can gain perks like free parking, unlimited visits, and exclusive discounts.

3) Beat the Lines by Arriving Early and Prepared

No one likes to wait in a long line of people, especially with eager little ones. We advise arriving when the park opens with purchased tickets to better avoid the lines.

You can save time by paying for parking online before you arrive, especially since the price is the same as at the gate. Daily parking costs $25 per vehicle ($20 online), and $30 for preferred parking ($25 online).

5) California’s Great America App

Download the California’s Great America app before you arrive to purchase tickets, monitor wait times, as well as look at show schedules and restaurant menus. It’s also great to try to plan out which rides you plan to visit first to avoid meandering and long lines. Moreover, the app is free.

6) Accommodations

You can acquire a stroller, wheelchair, or electronically-controlled chair to meet your needs. Please note that you should arrive early since they are rented on a first-come, first-served basis.

Furthermore, families can access the Family Care Center located in Planet Snoopy to use bottle warming services, use private nursing areas, and other special services.

7) Rides to Hit First

Most people wander around the front of the park and work their way towards the back. In order to avoid longer lines, start with the rides in the back of the park and work your way up front. Head to the new single rail coster, RailBlazer, or classics like Gold Striker and Patriot, before the crowds gather. Of course, aside from thrill rides, there are plenty of family-friendly rides little ones will love as well like the Barney Oldfield Speedway and the Carousel Columbia.

Additionally, water rides tend to have longer lines in the afternoon due to the heat, so visit Boomerang Bay early for less wait times on rides like Tasmanian Typhoon or Ripsnort Ridge. Get soaked in the morning and dry off in the afternoon.

8) Best Times to Visit

To beat the weekend crowds, visit mid-week. Saturdays are typically the busiest, so if you do go on a weekend, Sundays are better. Furthermore, if you arrive after dinner time around 5 pm, ride lines typically thin out.

Unsure of which months to visit? Weekdays during the summer and April, May, June, and September tend to be less packed. Note that the water park is closed during the winter months.

9) Eat During Off-Times

You’re welcome to eat outside of the park, or eat at any of the eateries within the park. However, lines and wait times can be long, so try to eat earlier around 11:30 am or after 2 pm. Also, consider purchase a dining plan or single day meal deal . Note that you can’t bring your own food unless you have special dietary needs.

10) California’s Great America Discounts

Everyone loves a good deal, so take advantage when you can:

• Book a Money-Saving California’s Great America – Aquarium of the Bay Package .
• Reserve tickets with Tripster to save $21
• AAA members receive a discount, so show your card at the ticket booth.
• Active and retired military personnel and veterans can receive military discount tickets .

11) General Great America Tips

• Stay hydrated. Once again, the heat is no joke. To save, bring a bottle of water that you can refill throughout the day.
• Receive a schedule and map at the entrance to help determine which attractions you care to see throughout the day and the park’s layout.
• The park is a smoke-free facility, but there are designated smoking areas.
• Choose a meeting place in case your party becomes separated. Additionally, if you become separated from your child, head to the Family Care Center in Planet Snoopy.
