What a drag, the usual gifts... If you want to give an unforgettable experience, give the gift of travel!

Are you also part of that team of indecisive people who never know what to give a friend/partner/whoever and don’t want to leave it until the last minute just to buy the usual boring gift?

If so, thank goodness you came across this article!

Today we’ll give you five great reasons why you should give the gift of travel.

Yes, you read that right: give a trip, and give an unforgettable experience to someone you care about (or even to yourself!).

Five great reasons to give our Gift Card (to literally send your friends to that country)

1. Travel is an experience that creates memories to last a lifetime

It’s important to remember that some of the best gifts aren’t found in huge boxes under the Christmas tree, or wrapped up for a birthday, Valentine’s Day, or any other day or occasion you choose to celebrate.

And let’s be honest: enough with the usual massage vouchers (which, don’t get us wrong, we do like, but still…), the classic scented candles, or the socks that will just end up forgotten at the back of a drawer.

We believe the best kind of gift is the one that creates memories for life.

Think back to some of your dearest memories and best stories: we’d bet—actually, we’re sure—that many of them are tied to a family holiday or a weekend away with the person you love.

Wouldn’t you love to make someone happy by wrapping up a future memory with a bow?

Now you can. Whether you give a trip to a friend or your better half to enjoy an adventure together, or decide to treat yourself (which is absolutely fair!), the feeling that comes with that gift will stay with the recipient for a long time.

2. Our holiday gift cards don’t expire (well, almost)

This means you can give one now, and the lucky person will be able to use it within two years from the date of purchase.

That makes a travel gift the perfect option even for those friends with packed schedules who have to juggle their vacation days with work commitments.

To make things easier, at Sto Gran Tour we publish our trip departure dates well in advance. On top of that, we give you the chance to pre-register and secure the dates you’ve chosen.

What more could you ask for?

3. A travel gift is perfect for every budget

Our gift cards are available in any amount, making them a great option for every budget.

But how does it work?

Once you enter the amount you’ve chosen, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the code to use, and the lucky traveler will be able to choose one of our adventure trips and expeditions.

How cool is that?

4. Our gift cards are convenient and easy to use

Once you purchase the cards, they’re yours and you can gift them however you like.

They’re also handy to send to a friend who lives far away, because you can avoid expensive shipping costs: just slip the card into a greeting card, mail it, and you’re done!

And, as we mentioned earlier, they’re very flexible, because the recipient can choose from our maaaany trips—none excluded!

For example, you could decide to go on an amazing safari in Namibia, visit Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, or discover the wonderfully chaotic side of India.

5. It’s proven that travel relieves stress, boosts creativity, and improves mental and emotional strength

It’s hard to find another gift that relieves stress, boosts creativity, and strengthens the mind in quite the same way.

Experiencing a new culture and a new environment improves cognitive flexibility and increases depth and integration in thinking.

What’s more, people who travel regularly for leisure experience less stress, have a lower risk of heart disease, a more positive outlook on life, and greater motivation to achieve their goals.

In short, traveling is wonderful and good for both body and mind.

This is just one more example of how giving the gift of travel truly has a lasting positive effect over time. Long-lasting memories, better health, and less stress. What more could anyone ask for?
