There's no greater gift than the gift of travel. But the logistics of actually giving someone a trip to go on are complicated. How do you gift a vacation when the particulars can be so incredibly personal? The answers to that question vary. You can absolutely book a surprise trip for someone after sneaking a look at their calendar and passport number — assuming that falls within the approved boundaries of your relationship. But such a move comes with a lot of pressure to get it right. Gifting a trip can also be a conversation, presented as a sort of voucher that gets redeemed by its recipient when they're ready to get packing. Or it can be a commitment for the future, to be hatched together. Whichever direction you go in, presenting the idea with an inspiring physical object —something you'll use on the road, for instance, or a trinket from your planned destination — can be a perfect gesture. Here are 11 ideas for how to create travel magic for someone. They're fit for life partners, children, and good friends alike — be they travel buddies or plain-old travel lovers.
