Travel and Experience Gifts for Your Girlfriend
If she'd rather do something than own something, start here. These are the most romantic Christmas gifts on the list, because the present is time together, or the vacation she keeps putting off.
1. A Flight Gift Card
Price: you choose the amount
Great for: girlfriends with a travel bucket list
If her bucket list keeps growing, a flight gift card lets her finally book one of those trips. She can use it on flights with over 400 airlines, including Emirates, KLM and Turkish Airlines, and she picks where and when she goes. Choose the amount, add an image or a photo of the two of you, and pick how to send it:
- An eGift card, delivered by email, ideal as a long-distance gift
- A PDF gift card you can forward or print at home and tuck into her stocking
- A physical gift card mailed to you, ready to go under the tree
There's no rush to book, and when she's ready, she can redeem her gift card online in a few steps. For presentation ideas, see how to wrap a gift card.
2. A Hotel Gift Card
Price: you choose the amount
Great for: girlfriends who need to unwind
After a busy year, a hotel gift card gives her a real break at a place she chooses: a mountain lodge, a boutique hotel downtown or a beach resort somewhere warm. With Hotelgift she can pick from over 750,000 hotels in more than 170 countries. For something to unwrap, go for the physical hotel gift card.
3. A Surprise Winter Getaway for Two
Price: a flight gift card, a hotel gift card, or both
Great for: couples who love a romantic getaway
Put the first two ideas together and you've got the perfect Christmas surprise: a winter getaway for the two of you. Slip the gift card into a card with a hint about where you're thinking of going, and let her make the final call. A few ideas to get you started:
- Christmas in NYC, for the tree, the windows and ice skating
- Christmas in Chicago, for markets and holiday lights
- Christmas in Miami, if she'd rather swap snow for sunshine
- The best places to go at Christmas in the US
- Warm places to visit in December, for a winter-sun escape
- Christmas markets in Europe, if you're dreaming bigger

Great for: homebodies
Is she the type to get home, change into sweats and light a candle? Give her a candle with warm, wintry notes, like the Hygge candle from Danish brand Skandinavisk. Its minimalist design looks great on a shelf too.

LED face masks are one of the most popular beauty gadgets right now, and a great gift if you want to level up her skincare routine.
Christmas Gifts for Your Girlfriend: FAQ
What should I get my girlfriend for Christmas?
Start with what she loves to do rather than what she might need. If she loves to travel, a flight or hotel gift card lets her choose the trip. If she's a homebody, cozy gifts like slippers or a candle are a safe bet, and if she's into skincare, a beauty gadget will go down well. Plenty of people pair a small gift to unwrap with a bigger experience to look forward to.
What is the 5 gift rule for girlfriends?
The 5 gift rule is a simple way to plan a thoughtful set of gifts: something she wants, something she needs, something to wear, something to read and something to do together. A winter getaway or a night away covers the last one.
What is a good first Christmas gift for a new girlfriend?
For your first Christmas together, go thoughtful rather than extravagant: a small beauty treat, a scented candle, cozy slippers, or a day trip or night away you can enjoy together.
What's a good last-minute Christmas gift for my girlfriend?
An eGift card is the easiest last-minute Christmas gift: it arrives by email, so you don't need to worry about shipping deadlines. You can also choose a PDF gift card, print it at home and put it in her stocking.
