What is a Staycation?
Contrary to popular belief, the term staycation is not a thoroughly modern invention invented by the marketing gurus of the 21st century. In fact, popular culture would have us believe that the use of the word staycation is as recent as 2005 when a US newspaper – the Huntsville (Alabama) Times – coined the phrase as meaning, ‘a vacation where you stay at home and don’t vacate to anywhere else.’

Hotel gift cards for the best staycation ideas

Treat someone to a minibreak of their choice

For understandable reasons, 2020 was the year that the staycation really took off. If you’re still new to the concept, a staycation is either holidaying in your home country, or staying home but going away close by, for day trips or long weekends. 

Staycation ideas might mean sightseeing in a nearby city that you’ve never visited before, checking out its museums, architecture and restaurants. They could mean a long, lazy weekend by the coast staying in a cozy B&B. They could be revitalising spa breaks, perfect for ironing out the kinks and stresses of working from home for a while.

And with these getaway gifts from Tinggly, recipients will never be short of inspiration for staycation ideas: every collection features 0ver 2000 hotels around the world - they can take their pick of an accommodation that suits them and look forward to a minibreak close to home.

Here’s how our staycation gift cards work:

  1. Choose one of our getaway gifts from the extensive range available
  2. Purchase securely with a few quick clicks of your mouse
  3. Add a personal message to the recipient(s), and an address

That’s all there is to it!

Next, we send the gift card to the recipient(s) wherever they’re based in the world. You can choose to have your staycation gift sent either by mail, arriving within 2-5 business days and packaged in a stylish presentation box, or by email. Emailing gift cards can be very convenient if you’re low on time, or the recipient(s) is already traveling.

How to use staycation gift cards

Here comes the fun part. Once they’ve received their gift card, recipients can take their time browsing the many destinations and hotels in the collection you bought, creating their staycation ideas. 

To book a hotel stay, they simply get in touch with our friendly team, who will make the reservation on their behalf. And there’s no need to make a quick decision, because our getaway gifts have NO expiry dates.
