5 Ideas for New Year Gift to Parents

The new year is so on! The year 2020 has been terrible thanks to Coronavirus and its consequences. People throughout the world have had a cumulative hatred towards the year since the start of the year. All the more reason, people are waiting to bid it adieu for good.

Most people around the globe are excited and hopeful for the good vibes the year 2021 is about to bring. But the new year is amiss without new year gifts for your loved ones. That’s where our idea comes in!

Our parents have given us life and lifestyle. We can never really pay them back, but we can always, whenever the time comes, show them how much they mean to us. Over the years of the new year gifting tradition in your family, you may have given your parents the latest gadgets or the nicest clothes or maybe even a four-wheeler. But if you are looking to gift them something unique this year, I have three words for you—give them holidays. They’ll cherish this new year gift forever.

The New Trend of Senior Citizens Holidaying Big in India

The travel industry has got its hands on a valuable piece of information a few years back. They have discovered a whole new segment of travel seeking people, termed as the Empty Nesters or Seenagers. This is the new generation of senior citizens in India that redefines retirement with fervour and an itinerary. The Seenagers of India have proved by travelling far and wide that good life begins at 50.

After fulfilling all their responsibilities that a typical life demands, it is their turn to have their own time in life. You can make them spend their golden years discovering new places, experiences, cultures, and cuisines by gifting them holidays. The idea is to gift them annual holidays to places they’ve never been to or want to revisit.

Gifting a vacay to your parents means allowing them to create new memories. It gives them a chance to feel young again and unwind from their everyday routine life.
