And if you're one of those people who likes to get all your pressies wrapped before the shops get the decorations out, this could be the perfect gift.
A Hotelgift giftcard, topped up with any amount, means the person receiving it gets to choose when and where they use it.

I tried it on a recent trip to France and the choice of where to stay ranged from basic B&Bs and chain hotels to high-end boutique pads.
Buying the card is easy and you can have it delivered digitally straight to the recipient's inbox.
And there's even the option to add a recorded video greeting too.
If you're good at planning ahead, a luxury printed gift card can also be posted out in a natty "Do Not Disturb" sign shape and delivered within two to four days.
