With November upon us and the evenings drawing in, our thoughts turn to Christmas. This year though, how we will celebrate feels more uncertain that usual, but what is still definite is we'll want to buy something special for friends and family, even if we might not be able to deliver it to them in person.

Buying from the comfort of your sofa makes the process a little less overwhelming and instead of that hard-to-deliver physical gift this year, consider buying a gift experience online to create memories that last forever. Many of the experiences in the Travelzoo Gift Guide are valid all the way through late spring or even into summer 2021, so provide the recipient something to look forward to in what we all hope will be a very different year next year. However, for extra piece of mind, all our experiences are fully refundable.

To help inspire Christmas shopping from home, we've pulled together our favourite Christmas gift experiences. With another seven weeks until the big day, we have plenty more deals still to come, so check back for new ideas.

A selection of the best deals:

£13.50 – BrewDog beers and cheeseboard for two at 44 locations

For £6.25 a head, you and a friend can try four of BrewDog's bestselling beers, with a cheeseboard to share, at 44 UK locations. This offer can also be bought for four people and was one of our best-selling deals last year!

£79 –'Elegant' Manchester spa: treatment, access & bubbly

According to The Daily Telegraph, The Spa at The Midland is "one of the North's best-looking spas", and The Good Spa Guide agrees, calling it "elegant" and "sumptuous", and awarding it a 5-bubble rating. For £79, you can now visit for a spa package including half-day access to the spa facilities, a 50-minute treatment, lunch, or afternoon tea, plus a glass of champagne.

£49 – Entry to 300+ historic UK sites

Delve deeper into the history and heritage of the UK with a membership to Historic Houses and get access to around 300 homes and gardens across the country. Travelzoo members can now save £7 on the regular price of any membership, meaning you can get one adult membership for £49 or a joint membership for £82. The UK has some of the finest and best-preserved historic houses, castles, parks, and gardens in the world, but most UK heritage is independently owned. Historic Houses offers its members the opportunity to discover these privately owned houses and their art collections, architecture, and gardens.
