My DH is a nightmare to buy for so I usually get a long weekend for us somewhere warm like Canaries in Feb/March which he always loves. How can I present it this year? in the past I have bought a scratchcard that reveals it and a card with a photo of the place but all out of ideas?
Thanks for any help

We got foil tickets from Etsy for a trip to Disney.

Also had a helium balloon with a note attached in a box for a trip to NY.
