With the festive season now with us, here are a few ideas for gifts to give to someone special…   or maybe to treat yourself!

 

♦ Membership of English Heritage

Annual membership of English Heritage is a unique Christmas gift that lasts a whole year. And the good news for Senior Travellers is that they get big discounts. For one person 60+ it costs £37, for a couple £58. SeeThe Writerpostings on English Heritage versus National Trust and on Winter Openings.

♦ Flying Gift

For Seniors Travellers who fancy something adventurous, then why not give a ‘Flying’ gift. Choose from helicopter rides, hot air balloons or light aircraft. You can select by UK region the flying experience that suits the person you are giving to, or yourself.

♦ Books for Senior Travellers

My list of Travel Books gives some excellent gift ideas, including  1001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die. The new paper back version can be obtained from Waterstones for £10 (a 50% discount) with free UK delivery.

The Book People offer 33% discount on many travel book including Rough Guides, Berlitz and Insight Guides.     

♦ Ferry Minicruise to Holland or Belgium

A winter minicruise to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Bruges or Ostend provides an unusual, but very enjoyable, Christmas gift. PO Ferries are now offering their two night minicruises on a 2 for the price of 1 basis; excellent value at only £75 for two. Entertainment is provided along the way. An extra night at the continental destination can be added. See PO Ferries to Rotterdam forThe Writercandid review of the on board experience.

♦ Hotel Stay 

Why not give a gift of a winter hotel break. There are many offers out there at the moment, including the IHG Group (Intercontinental Hotels, Crowne Plazas, Holiday Inns, Holiday Inn Expresses) offering various winter break discounts, plus free late check out. If you are treating yourself to a winter hotel break, then make certain you claim your Senior discount rate, see: Hotel Deals for Seniors.
