Families who travel together know that vacation memories are the most precious gifts of all. So here are a few unique gift ideas designed to make their time together even more memorable.
From Instagrammable experiences to backpacks that kids will actually want to carry, here are seven great gifts that will inspire family travelers to book their next trip.
Picnic Basket
Whether they’re visiting Paris or Philadelphia, families can make every day a picnic with this 100-percent natural rattan picnic basket from Shop Le Méridien.
Parents can pack a romantic lunch for two and then toss in a couple of PB&Js for les enfants. The basket features a removable canvas shoulder strap and adjustable canvas loops so they can attach it to the handlebars of a bike or the handles of a stroller. All that’s needed is a patch of grass on which to sit and savor.
Kid-Sized Backpack
Empower young travelers with the adorable Margherita Maccapani Missoni Children’s Backpack. The fish design of this limited-edition backpack was inspired by Missoni’s family vacation to Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve and reflects the beautiful coastal scenery as well as Portugal’s signature hand-painted tiles.
Lightweight and easy to clean so it’s perfect for travel, the backpack is roomy enough to hold little ones’ toys, snacks and treasures. Best of all, children will want to carry it themselves.
Polo, Anyone?
Playing games is a fun part of any family vacation — especially when there’s a meaningful story behind them. The St. Regis Children’s Polo Kit was curated by acclaimed Argentine polo player and St. Regis Connoisseur, Nacho Figueras, to celebrate his family tradition as part of the Family Traditions at St. Regis program.
With wooden hobby horses, child-size wooden hand mallets, soft polo-style balls and a custom illustrated guide, the set comes with everything a family needs to start a tradition of their own.
ICE! Is Nice
Order tickets, bundle up the family and make sure your phone is charged because you’re going to want to take tons of photos at Gaylord Hotels’ signature annual holiday ICE! extravaganza.
Giving a whole new meaning to “frozen,” artisans from China come to Gaylord Hotel resorts in five U.S. cities to create a winter wonderland out of 2 million pounds of ice. Guests’ noses may turn as red as Rudolph’s, but the jaw-dropping ice sculptures will warm their hearts.
It’s a (Bath) Wrap
The perfect way to “extend” a vacation, the aptly named Westin’s Heavenly Bathrobe is made of super-soft cotton to ensure parents feel as relaxed and pampered at home as they did at their favorite Westin hotel.
The Westin Family Kids Robe shows kids they’re part of the Westin family, and it is flame retardant and so cozy they may no longer resist their nightly bath. They’ll look so cute, families may be tempted to take this year’s holiday photo in their Westin robes.
Eat It Up
The way to a family’s next vacation just may be through their stomachs. An Uber Eats gift card will satisfy their cravings while helping them earn Marriott Bonvoy points good for future stays and experiences.
All they have to do is link their Uber and Marriott Bonvoy accounts and start ordering!
All in One Place
From Antigua to St. Lucia, there’s nothing like a family vacation at a luxurious All-Inclusive by Marriott resort. Bookings are curated specifically for each guest’s interests and are designed to provide totally immersive experiences.
Mom’s set on a massage? Check. Dad wants to play tennis? No problem. Teens can go snorkeling while younger siblings make new friends at the kids club. When the whole family meets up for lunch and an afternoon on the beach, they’ll have so much to talk about and share.
