10 Great Last Minute Gifts for Everyone on Your List
If you're like me, Travelzoo has you covered!
Skip buying the customary sweaters, scarves and slippers that may or may not be worn, and opt instead to give an experience. Travelzoo experiences are easier to buy (shop online from the comfort of your own home, or the office ... not that we condone shopping on company time) They're easier to give (print them and put them in a pretty envelope or simply email them across the country or across the world for free). More importantly, they'll likely be better received.
According to a recent Travelzoo Canada study, 86% of Canadians prefer to receive an experience such as a getaway or threatre tickets rather than a physical gift like clothing or tools.
Thinking of buying your loved ones an experience? Here are 10 great ideas we found in the Travelzoo Canada Gift Guide.
