We're nearly there, just a few more days until the magical day that is Christmas.
You may be super organised and already have Christmas all wrapped up (excuse the pun!), or you may be one of the estimated 50% of the UK, that like to leave things until the very last minute.
However, good news! if you are late to the party my latest newsletter will help you get sorted.
With everything from short breaks to sports breaks, sunshine getaways and Lapland day trips, there is something for everyone one and every pocket when it comes to giving the gift of travel to your loved ones this year.
And an even better excuse to spoil someone in your life, you can take advantage of our Direct Debit offers and spread the cost monthly at no extra charge. My Skiathos offer costs as little as £25 per person per month over 20 months.
So take a look at these offers and see if there is something that takes your fancy, and if there is, just let me know and I'll be happy to help you make someones Christmas this year with the best present ever, the gift of travel.

Beautiful boutique hotel, Grecotel Pallas Athena
Athens 3 night break from £329pp
|
|
Not always the top of destinations when it comes to city breaks, the Greece's capital city Athens, is very much now in demand. With flights at just over 3hrs and average temperatures beating some of its Italian rivals, a Spring city break to Athens is a great gift to give.
I've partnered with the gorgeous Grecotel Pallas Athena, a Designer Travel favourite to make sure that you get a perfect hotel at a perfect price. Better than that all bookings I make from my Christmas newsletter to this hotel will receive an added value extra, maybe a personalised note or a bottle of something nice? I'll make sure this is a gift that still feels like a present when you arrive.
Mix art and haute couture with luxurious downtown living and you will find the Grecotel Pallas Athena Boutique Hotel. All-white interiors with lashings of artwork creates a quirky and eclectic aesthetic, perfect for any art lovers searching for a unique stay. Located opposite Kotzia Square and the historical Town Hall, you will be in a great position to explore all this ancient city has to offer.

Make amazing dreams come true
2024 Lapland Daytrips from £630pp
|
|
Next December, take the kids on the trip of a lifetime, and watch their faces light up when they see Santa in a true Winter Wonderland.
From the first minute, this trip to Lapland feels extraordinary. With flights from a wide range of regional airports, and you'll experience the excitement as you fly to the Arctic Circle. Little ones will want to press their noses up against the windows to watch the scenery move from the rolling fields of the UK to the snow-capped trees of Lapland.
Touching down in Pajala, you’ll find yourself in remote Swedish wilderness, being able to take in the crisp, snowy surroundings before you’re whisked off to the next part of the day.
Now the real excitement starts. Buckle up as your ride to Santa’s village, where you’ll have the place completely to yourself! You can spend the afternoon exactly as you want: race huskies across frozen fields, zoom through pine forests on a snowmobile ride and feel the true spirit of Christmas on a reindeer ride, all illuminated by red lanterns, as well as the orange glow of a winter sunset.
Unbelievably, this is all before lunchtime! You’ll have a chance to rest and take a break, enjoying a hearty lunch and a steaming berry juice before heading back out into the snow for some more fun. Then, finally, it’s time for the big event. What the kids have been waiting for this whole time. You’ll be taken down a secret path in the woods, to add to the mystery of the big man in red, before finally having a private meeting with Santa Claus. Whether they want to sit on his lap and chat, or reel off all the reasons they should be on his ‘nice’ list, the choice is all theirs.
With this magical meeting over, you’ll then be flown back to the UK. The little ones will have memories that will last a lifetime, and you’ll all be pleasantly exhausted from a fun-filled day.
Daytrips available: Bournemouth 8th December 24 from £666pp Bristol 23rd December 2024 from £630pp Cardiff 22nd December 2024 from £666pp East Midlands 21st December 2024 from £712pp Humberside 19th December 2024 from £630pp Leeds Bradford 15th December 2024 from £630pp Liverpool 13th December 2024 from £675pp Gatwick 7th December 2024 from £666pp Norwich 6th December 2024 from £714pp Teeside 12th December 2024 from £630pp
