As we all know, the best presents are the ones you can also sneakily get it on as well. Which is why it's such great news that Airbnb has finally launched gift cards. just in time for Christmas (plus, birthdays, anniversaries etc etc.), The brand new Airbnb Gift Card means you can help your loved ones get on that dreamy trip away without just stuffing a tenner in a card. Plus, if you're lucky you'll get a lil' holiday out of it too.
Believe it or not, Airbnb has never actually had gift cards in the UK before, so this is a brand first. The card works just like any other gift voucher, acting as cash to go towards the cost of Airbnb stays or experiences.
You can pick up a physical Airbnb gift card in Tesco and Morrison's stores, or for the eco-conscious, digital Airbnb gift cards are available online. So you've got plenty of time to draw up a list of suggestions of yurts and shepherd's huts to spend the voucher on (not that you're angling for an invite, of course).
Plus, not only can you chose from a number of really cute designs, but these gift cards never expire so you're actually giving people a proper present, rather than extra faff.
We don't know what we're more pleased about; the fact that there might be a few more holiday invites on the horizon or the fact that Christmas, and all gifting for that matter, just got a whole lot easier.
