How to give a holiday as a present - idea please!

[justin220]

Morning all, (very early!)

My parents have helped me out a lot recently, so I have booked a holiday (Vegas) for them for their Christmas present this year, but I have no idea how to actually give it to them. I can't wait to give it to them, but I don't want to simply hand over the confirmation.

I have bought a guide book for it already

Any genius/different ideas?

Have a Casino night at home. You can buy the stuff quite cheaply and get everyone to dress up as a 'high roller' - think Flash Cowboy, Bling Rapper, Kardashian, that sort of thing.

Get the folks to be on a roulette table at some point, or something like that, and get them to double up for a mystery prize.

I think that would be quite cool plus you and your family's friends get to enjoy their joy .

Edit: Wouldn't really work in time for xmas though

The guide book and tickets (or mock-Ups if they're not available) should suffice.

I bought the mrs a holiday to Florida for christmas last year.

I found a company online that make books so had a book made, you can customise each page with your own wording/pictures etc.

Worked really well! Probably a bit late though unless you aren't seeing them on christmas day?

I bought a holiday fro my daughter to NYC, and then wrapped up several clues, I'm not sure you would have enough time to do that now though.

Despite recognising the NYC theme to all the gifts it took her a while to realise, the last gift was a print out of a 1$ bill with the flight time printed on it.

Dont do what my dad did, put the the tickets in a suitcase and gave my mum the suitcase, my mum unwrapped it christmas morning and threw the suitcase at my dads head. That was a fun filled christmas....

I hate christmas..

tickets inside the guide book would work for me

If you've got kids with any kind of alphabet letters (or fridge magnets), you could wrap up the letters VEGAS (separately if you like).

Or if you have time, grab 5 little cheapy things beginning with each letter.

Or a little toy plane

I need to get out more!
