Retirement Vacation!!
If they’ve been too busy working for the last twenty years or so to ever take a vacation, now’s the time to remedy that!
Giving them the gift of a luxurious or exotic getaway is just the ticket, and you’ll love getting all their selfies from their dream vacation.
Here’s how it works:
- You purchase a gift package, which is essentially a fancy gift card for the experience of their choice
- Prices range from (give or take) under a hundred bucks up to about $500 or more. Most are around $200-300
- They redeem for whatever adventure they choose, which could be rock climbing at a nearby gym, a wine tour within easy road trip distance or snorkeling in Hawaii/Mexico/Florida Keys (they’d just need to get themselves there)
