A gift for someone going

Gift a guide

For the mother, sister or friend who keeps saying she will travel on her own one day: a city guide, given as a nudge rather than an obligation.

1. Pick her city

Browse all the guides, or use Find your destination together: pick an interest and see a few ideas.

2. Buy the ebook and pass it on

Most guides are sold here as an EPUB download for $6.99. Buy the guide, then forward the download email to her. One guide, one reader. It arrives straight away, so it works as a last-minute gift too.

Some guides are sold on Amazon Kindle only. Their page links to Amazon, where you can use Amazon's own gifting option if your Amazon store offers it.

3. Add something free

Add the table-for-one phrase card or the carry-on checklist to your note. Both are free and printable, and they make the gift feel like a small kit rather than a single book.
