Finding a gift for someone who loves to travel can be tricky. Although there are some nifty travel products you can get them, sometimes you just want to give them what they really want; the chance to explore more of the world.
However, gifting a holiday is not only costly but it can be risky as travel is such a personal thing, especially if you're trying to choose a destination.
Even if you know their bucket list, trying to find the right dates that work for them can be difficult without spoiling the surprise - and let's face it, a holiday is an expensive present.
That's why travel gift cards can be the ideal compromise; you can choose the amount to contribute to their trip, and they get to pick the destination and dates.
To give you a helping hand, we've picked out some of the best gift cards on offer this Christmas - check them out below...
