3. National Trust membership
Whilst it’s more of a membership than a traditional gift card, a National Trust membership is a thoughtful present for anyone who loves exploring the outdoors and delving into rich history. It grants access to over 500 unique sites across the UK, from historic houses to rugged coastlines and breathtaking countryside. What’s more, your gift supports the National Trust’s vital work in preserving these special places, ensuring they can be enjoyed by future generations.
All you have to do is purchase a gift membership, download the printable Christmas cards from your confirmation email, choose your favourite design and print for the big day.

You can purchase it online, and it’ll arrive within minutes via text or email. Best of all, it never expires, so they can use it whenever they’re ready for their next adventure.
