When you want to say congratulations - for a new job, a promotion, passing exams, a graduation or a new home - the most memorable congratulations gift isn't another thing to dust; it's a getaway they choose themselves. A Getaway Gift Card is a congratulations experience gift redeemable at over 3 million hotels worldwide, so the recipient picks their own weekend away, city break or night in a boutique hotel to mark the achievement. You choose the amount, add a personal photo and message, and it lands in their inbox in minutes.

It's a genuinely unique congratulations gift idea for almost anyone: a new job gift for her, an achievement or milestone gift for a coworker or employee, a graduation experience gift, or a travel gift voucher for a couple celebrating together. A brilliant alternative to flowers, it never ties them to one chain or one forced package - they can use a partial balance, combine cards, and take their time, with 24-month validity and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
