Are you among the 56 per cent of Brits who buy their Christmas presents at the last minute? And do you have a caravan or motorhome lover on your list?
If so, you’ve come to the right place…
Research from thortful found that searches for “Best last-minute gift ideas” are up by 222 per cent since September and 23 per cent compared to last Christmas.
With 14 per cent of people admitting to giving generic gifts as they never know what to buy people, this shouldn’t be the case for your leisure vehicle-owning friends and family.
Recently, we took a look at what are considered the most uninspiring Christmas gifts and how they can be substituted for something much better this year.
After all, there’s always something useful that can be added to a caravan or motorhome to make the experience more comfortable or exciting.
Always the practical gifter, our very own Dan Cartwright has previously presented guides on what to buy for caravan owners, motorhome enthusiasts and campervan lovers.
Extra tips for successful gifting
The gifting experts at thortful have provided the following tips if you’re still trying to find the right presents.
Take advantage of cookies
Take note of any ads that pop up on a shared computer or laptop if you live with the person you’re purchasing a gift for.
These targeted ads are an insight into the things they’ve been looking at online and the perfect way to get your loved one something they really want.
Personalise simple things
Personalised items they can use in their leisure vehicles are a great way to show a loved one you really care.
A calendar with a new picture every month, their favourite food and drink with their names on the packaging or inscribed gifts such as new glassware are good places to start.
Experiences over items
If the person you’re buying for has enough stuff, then gift them an experiential present instead to create memories together.
It could be a voucher for a restaurant near where you’re planning on pitching up somewhere soon, a day out or even a whole trip away in your caravan or motorhome.
Craft a gift
Sometimes a crafted present can say a lot more than a purchased one and there are lots of ways to incorporate caravan life into such items.
For example, you could create a book of memories from your trips or bake tasty treats to take on your next weekend away.
