How to gift a trip to a 13 year old

[mummyof2boys30]

My son is obsessed with cars so we have booked a surprise trip to London to a car show as his main chrismas present. He has been to London before. Not sure how to gift it as his pile looks so much smaller than his brothers. He is still getting the other things he has asked for so this is additional surprise.

Does he like lego, you could get him a lego car to build and put the voucher inside the lego box?

Is his brother going too ?

you can buy really cute personalised scratch card type cards from Amazon only about £4. We bought one when we gifted dd a trip abroad for her 18th.

No just him and his dad. Should also add we are in Ireland so its a 2 night trip, flight etc

Ticket in an Envelope ,taped into the bottom of a small box, wrapped and placed in a slightly bigger box, as many layers as you can be bothered doing.

I just tend to print out a picture and stick it on a blank card… ie of the band in cases where we’re going to a gig but you could buy a toy replica of his favourite car or something pertaining to London and add the details

Lovely thought!

-Wrap up a 2nd hand london a-z or similar
-Wrap up a 2nd hand toy plane and attach the plane tickets/printout of booking conf)
-Poster for the show rolled up and wrapped like a cracker (can you print out a poster if you don't already have one?)
-Wrap up a large 2nd hand toy car and attach the tickets to it/put inside?

Number the presents so he opens them in order. Basically make it a bit like a game? 2nd hand as you've already spent a lot and you can regift to charity or sell on after Christmas.

(BTW 'gift' isn't a verb - yes I'm a pedant)

Metal car if his favourite and make a gift certificate for the trip, all in a box wrapped up
