10 Creative Ways To Reveal A Surprise Trip - Lost On The Route

“An Unexpected Trip can be an Amazing Surprise,

but creating the Wow Effect is an Art”

Gifting one travel to someone is surely one of the most meaningful and creative presents you can make. Things get consumed, get broken, get forgotten; the memories and the learnings that a trip can give instead, are invaluable, and can last a lifetime.

Still, have you ever wondered how to wrap a trip? How to tell the other person what you prepared for him/her in an original way and how to create that WOW effect that’ll surprise them and leave them speechless? After all, a journey is not the easiest thing to pack inside a box!

I found myself in this situation once, when I had planned to gift my girlfriend a short getaway to Paris for her birthday, but didn’t have a clue on how to tell her.

I thought of simply give her a copy of the flight ticket, but it sounded extremely boring and un-romantic to me (and somewhat predictable too if the other person likes travelling a lot!).

Carefully planning all the details for a trip takes quite some time (as I also explain in my article How to Gift a Trip and Don’t Mess Up!); the least we can do is avoid ruining all our great effort with a boring delivery. Instead, what we need is to cherry-top our travel-cake with creativity to make for a unique and memorable surprise!

As I thought for hours about the best way to deliver the birthday gift to my girlfriend, I came up with numerous different ideas which I thought of sharing in this article for all other creative travel-buddies finding themselves in my situation xD

The following are 10 Creative Ways to Gift a Surprise Trip. At the end of the article in the conclusions, I’ll also tell you which one I personally went for! 😉 

UPDATE 2022: As I found myself in the same situation of having to reveal a surprise trip again, I thought of some new ideas too, which you can find in this new article: 5 Creative Ideas for a Memorable Surprise Trip Announcement 😉
