A hotel gift card is one of those gifts that are unimpressive when opened, but exponentially more awesome when used. Shopping for hotels is boring and disheartening. Too often it becomes a drag on the whole experience. You’d like to stay somewhere that compliments the fun of your trip but most of those places are too expensive or too far away from the attractions. That is, until you remember that hotel gift card your aunt gave you last Christmas. Now, you can stay either at a fun, new hotel or closer to where all the fun is. It made a boring thing moretolerable and maybe even a little exciting. So if you are unsure what to get someone, consider a hotel gift card. When you give it to them though, remember to ask them to thank you after they’ve used it. That way you’ll get to experience the actual joy the gift brought.
