For more than ten years, we've helped people give travel.
- With Flightgift you can give the flight.
- With Hotelgift you can give the stay.
- With Traingift you can give the train journey across Europe.
What you couldn't do, until now, was give the whole trip in one go.
Today we're launching Travelgift: one gift card for hotels and flights together, with no expiry date. Your recipient chooses from over 750,000 hotels and more than 400 airlines, then books their stay and flight in a single booking. Where they go, and when, is entirely up to them.
“Until now, you could give someone a flight or a hotel stay through us. With Travelgift, you can give the whole trip for the first time, while the recipient decides where and when to go.”
Loes Daniels, founder of Experiencegift
Travelgift is built for the moments that call for something bigger: a honeymoon, a retirement, a graduation, a thank-you from a whole company. Below, we explain how it works, how it differs from our other cards, and when it's the right choice.
How Travelgift works
Choose a value. You pick any amount between £25 and £10,000. Because one card covers both hotel and flight, a higher value helps book the complete trip, not just one part of it.
Choose a format. There are three ways to give it:
- A physical gift card in premium packaging, for when you want something to hand over in person
- A print-at-home PDF, delivered by email within five minutes
- An eGift, sent straight to the recipient as soon as you order
Every card can be personalised for free with your own photo and message.
Your recipient books the trip. No account is needed to redeem. They choose a destination anywhere in the world and book their hotel and flight together at travelgift.com. If they'd rather just book a hotel, they can put the full value towards their stay. If the trip costs more than the card's balance, they pay the difference online. Any balance left over stays on the card for their next booking.
It never expires. Travelgift has no expiry date, so the trip can happen next month or in five years. For a gift that marks a life change, like retiring or getting married, that matters: people often need time to plan the trip that goes with it.
It's protected like a package holiday. When your recipient books a hotel and flight together with Travelgift, that booking is a package holiday. It's covered by the guarantee scheme of the Stichting Garantiefonds Reisgelden (SGR), the Dutch travel guarantee fund, so the traveller is protected (see full Travelgift terms for details).
Travelgift, Flightgift, Hotelgift or Traingift: which one to give?
No matter which of our gift cards you choose, it never expires and you can personalise the format, message and image. The difference is what your recipient can book with them.
| Gift card | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Travelgift | Hotel and flight together in one booking, or a hotel on its own | The complete trip, for big occasions and maximum flexibility |
| Flightgift | Flights | Travel lovers, sending someone far away, or chipping in towards a trip |
| Hotelgift | Hotel stays | A city break or weekend away, treating those who never treat themselves |
| Traingift | Train journeys in Europe and the UK, including a Eurail pass | Slow travel and rail adventures across Europe and the UK |
The hard part of giving travel is that you don't want to spoil the surprise by asking where they'd like to go, or when they can get away. With Travelgift, you don't have to. You give the whole trip, and they pick the destination and dates once they've opened it. No guessing on your side, and no second booking for them to sort out and pay for.
One thing to know: Travelgift can't be used to book a flight on its own. If the flight is the whole gift, Flightgift is the right card. If you want to give the trip, hotel and flight included, choose Travelgift.
Made for life's big moments
Some occasions call for more than a small token. When friends, family or colleagues want to mark a real milestone, they often pool their budget into one meaningful gift. Travelgift was designed for exactly that: a value high enough to cover a full trip, and the freedom for the recipient to make it their own.
Honeymoons and wedding gifts
Many couples already live together and have everything they need for the home. What they'd often rather have is time away together. A Travelgift card lets wedding guests contribute to the honeymoon without guessing the destination or the dates.
Because it never expires, the couple doesn't have to travel straight after the wedding. They can wait for the right season, save up their leave, or plan the trip for their first anniversary. Parents or a group of guests can also give one larger card together, so the couple receives the trip as a single gift rather than a collection of smaller ones.
Retirement gifts
A retirement marks the moment when someone finally has time to travel. A collection from colleagues, turned into a Travelgift card, is a send-off that looks forward rather than back. Instead of another engraved pen, they get the trip they've been putting off for years.
The recipient chooses where to go, so it works whether they dream of a long-haul adventure or a quiet week somewhere warm. And with no expiry date, there's no pressure to book before they've settled into their new routine.
Graduation presents
Finishing a degree is often followed by a short window of freedom before work begins. Travelgift fits that window well. Parents, grandparents or godparents can give the trip as a reward for years of study, and the graduate decides whether to go solo, with friends, or with the person who supported them along the way.
If plans change because a job starts sooner than expected, the card simply waits. Any balance left after the first trip stays on the card for the next one.
Flexible corporate gifts
For companies, Travelgift is an easy way to reward people with something they'll actually value. It suits long-service awards, sales incentives, end-of-year thank-yous and farewell gifts for departing team members. One card works for every employee, whatever their travel style or home airport, because each person books the trip that suits them.
For orders for several employees, you can order through our corporate ordering page, which also allows payment by bank transfer. For larger or tailored orders, our B2B team is happy to help.
Still in time for Christmas, even on Christmas Eve
Travelgift arrives just ahead of the festive season, and travel has proved to be one of the most popular last-minute gifts we sell. In both 2024 and 2025, Christmas Eve was our busiest sales day of the year. With the print-at-home PDF and the eGift, Travelgift can still reach its recipient in time, even if you order on the 24th.
“As the giver, you don't have to guess where the other person wants to go. The recipient chooses for themselves. That makes even a last-minute gift feel personal, rather than a shot in the dark.”
Loes Daniels
Give the whole trip
Some gifts are opened, admired and put away. A trip is different: it gets planned, looked forward to, and talked about long after the suitcase is unpacked. That's what Travelgift is for.
Whether you're celebrating a wedding, saying goodbye to a colleague, or rewarding a graduate, Travelgift lets you give the complete journey in one card. You don't need to know where they want to go or when they can get away. They choose the hotel and flight themselves, whenever the time is right.
Travelgift never expires, so the trip can happen whenever suits them. Your recipient chooses from over 750,000 hotels and more than 400 airlines flying to 980 destinations, and books it all in one go. It's the most flexible and easy way to give someone a whole trip.
