So why not skip the uncertainty and think outside the (gift) box this year? We\u2019ve gathered a few holiday travel gift ideas below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redweek.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=internal&amp;utm_campaign=give-the-gift-of-travel\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-700x467.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6947\" width=\"837\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-700x467.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47 700w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-250x167.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47 250w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-768x512.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47 768w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-1536x1024.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47 1536w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-2048x1365.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47 2048w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/brenchley-family-8-120x80.jpg?v=79a368ad52fe960bbaa2c4caca507e47 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Timeshare Rentals via RedWeek<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel can be a great gift in and of itself. Instead of a sweater that you wear once and forget about it, who wouldn\u2019t want to be given an entire vacation? It\u2019s not even <em>that<\/em> extravagant. Most of RedWeek\u2019s timeshare rentals cost just a fraction of what you\u2019d be paying resorts directly, so this is a more affordable gifting option than you\u2019d imagine. When you book the vacation, just add the gift recipient&#8217;s name as the primary guest. Owners are more than willing to accommodate those requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redweek.com\/browse\/timeshares\">Start browsing RedWeek\u2019s expansive timeshare rental inventory<\/a>. With offerings from the Caribbean to California (and everything in between), you\u2019re guaranteed to find that perfect spot for your loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Travel<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>Related Credits, Gift Certificates &amp; Subscriptions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying someone other than yourself a flight can be more complex than it\u2019s worth. The solution? Try <a href=\"https:\/\/skyhour.com\/\">SkyHour<\/a>. This recently introduced app lets you buy \u201cskyhour\u201d \u2014 time-based credits that can be used to book flights. Each skyhour is worth one hour of flight on 300+ airlines. Essentially, you\u2019re giving the gift of freedom \u2014 to travel the world, anytime, on any airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how about gift certificates for your foodie friends and family? No matter where they end up traveling, you can give them a gift card&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grubhub.com\/giftcards\">via Grubhub<\/a> or a similar service that can be used at most restaurants nationwide. This is a win-win since it\u2019s been a tough couple of years for the foodservice industry. Buying gift cards throws a lifeline to restaurants that really need one <em>and<\/em> gives your giftee a meal to look forward to. Another option? Give gift certificates to grocery delivery services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instacart.com\/\">Instacart<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipt.com\/\">Shipt<\/a>. Since many timeshare rentals have kitchens, you can use these services to have all the ingredients you need right to your resort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more foodie idea. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trytheworld.com\/pages\/the-gift\">Try The World<\/a>, is a subscription box service which curates a selection of snacks, ingredients, and beverages from a different country every month. It\u2019s an ideal way to give the gift of travel inspiration at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Great Family Travel Hacks Make Great Gifts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Family travel is trickier than ever in 2021 \u2014&nbsp;especially if you\u2019re traveling with babies or toddlers. One great way to cut down on bulky baby gear? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babyquip.com\/\">BabyQuip<\/a>. Instead of lugging everything though airports and hotel lobbies, the service allows you to rent clean and safe baby gear essentials at your destination and have them delivered to your door, wherever that may be (they\u2019ve got 600 locations and are growing with every week). They\u2019ve got everything new parents need, from \u2014 cribs, car seats, strollers, toys, and so much more. A BabyQuip gift card might just change stressed-out moms and dads\u2019 lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else traveling parents might appreciate: a subscription to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyplus.com\/welcome\/gift-subscription?cid=DSS-Search-Google-71700000060669071-&amp;s_kwcid=AL!8468!3!404753957161!b!!g!!%2Bdisney%2B%20%2Bgift%20%2Bcard&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwiY6MBhBqEiwARFSCPsoRfVmF38m0wgqjVkhQ-jElNo7MNNa5DnQ1olpQWYiQScKoe0OkUxoCBGEQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\">Disney+<\/a>. A Disney+ gift subscription is an easy way to give one year of the platform to someone special. When you purchase the gift subscription for $79.99, you\u2019ll be paying for their first year of Disney+. With thousands of family-friendly programs streaming, the platform is perfect for those long days on the road, whether you\u2019re stranded unexpectedly in an airport or taking a long drive. Obviously, you don\u2019t want to encourage too much screen time, but Mickey and the gang can keep everyone sane during the less-fun parts of a vacation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>One more thing for your holiday shopping needs!
