Travel and Experience Gifts for Your Girlfriend
If she's the kind of person who'd rather do something than own something, start here. These are the most romantic Christmas gifts on the list, because the present is the time you spend together, or the trip she finally gets to take.
1. A Multi-Airline Flight Voucher
Price: you choose the amount
Great for: girlfriends with a travel bucket list
If her travel bucket list is stacked high with destinations, a flight gift voucher is the gift that lets her tick one off. She can use it to book flights with over 400 airlines, including Ryanair, KLM, Jet2, Emirates, Aer Lingus and Turkish Airlines, and she chooses where and when she goes. It's quick to buy: add the amount, pick an image (or upload a photo of the two of you) and choose how to send it:
- An eGift, delivered by email and ideal as a long-distance Christmas gift
- A PDF gift card you can forward to her or print at home and wrap
- A physical gift card for flights, sent in the post so it can sit under the tree
There's no pressure to book straight away, and when she's ready she can easily redeem her flight gift voucher online in a few steps.
2. A Hotel Gift Card
Price: you choose the amount
Great for: girlfriends who need to unwind
If she's had a busy year and needs some proper rest, a hotel gift card lets her pick the setting, whether that's a spa hotel in the Cotswolds or a winter-sun resort in Egypt. With a Hotelgift she can choose from over 750,000 hotels in more than 170 countries. Add a photo of you both and choose the printed card if you want something to wrap and put under the tree.
3. A Surprise Winter City Break
Price: a flight voucher, a hotel gift card, or both
Great for: couples who love a romantic getaway
Put the first two ideas together and you have a Christmas surprise: a winter break for the two of you. Wrap the voucher with a note about where you're thinking of going, and let her have the final say. A few winter destinations that work well from the UK:
- Bruges, for canals and cosy cafés
- Austria, for Christmas markets and mountain views
- Spain, for milder winter weather
- Italy, for festive food and lights
- Germany, for the classic Christmas market trip
- France, for Paris, Strasbourg and beyond
- The UK, if you'd rather stay closer to home

Christmas Gifts for Girlfriends: FAQ
What should I buy my girlfriend for Christmas?
Start with what she loves doing rather than what she might need. If she loves to travel, a flight voucher or hotel gift card lets her choose the trip. If she's a homebody, cosy gifts like slippers or a candle work well, and if she's into skincare, beauty gadgets are a safe bet. Many 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 presents: something she wants, something she needs, something to wear, something to read and something to do together. A winter break or a night away covers the last one nicely.
What is a good first Christmas gift for a new girlfriend?
For a first Christmas together, keep it thoughtful rather than extravagant. A small beauty treat, a scented candle or a cosy pair of slippers works well, or plan a day out or a night away you can enjoy together.
What can I get my girlfriend for Christmas at the last minute?
An eGift is the easiest last-minute Christmas present: it arrives by email, so there's no need to worry about postage. You can also choose a PDF gift card and print it at home to wrap.
