LONDON, December 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
It's that time of year again. Nativity costumes are being
feverishly crafted for the end of school performance, high streets
are flooded by panicked present hunters and the festive feast for
families across the nation takes at least a month to prepare with
enough left overs to last until next Christmas.
The Christmas chaos that descends on households over the festive
period is a million miles away from the initial early days of the
celebration when all it took was Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold to
rejoice at Christmas.
But what if these three wise men were able to give modern
presents? What would they pick now?
Holidays
Undoubtedly, any wise man worth his salt would give the gift of
travel in the modern world. The Magi (or wise men) were travellers
themselves so they'd certainly appreciate the competitive deals
currently available.
A growing number of people are going on holiday for festive fun
and a relaxing break away from seasonal insanity. Despite being at
peak season holiday deals are not hard to find. There are a
huge number of holiday destinations to choose from over the festive
season for all types of holiday.
Whether you're looking to soak up some winter sun with a
Tunisia holiday or make the most of the snow with a skiing
excursion, a Christmas celebration can be full of festive joy and
happiness anywhere in the world.
New experiences
Another wise gift would be an experience unlike anything else.
Visiting the Pyramids or having an authentic Turkish bath are
things you're unlikely to forget and can make a luxurious gift for
any individual.
Luckily, travellers will not have to wait for a wise man to give
them this gift as cheap Egypt holidays and holidays to
Turkey are widely available. Embracing something new and
looking to the stars for guidance is something the three kings
would certainly recommend so make sure you choose an activity which
will have real relevance to the recipient.
Modern technology
Another must-have gift in modern times would involve the latest
technology. This could come in a number of forms, from Simon the
face and voice recognition social robot to a computer tablet or
smartphone.
The modern age is undoubtedly a digital one and technology
shapes the way we communicate and interact with one another.*
Portable handheld wireless devices are so popular and easy to
use that a number of travellers take them overseas with them,
providing plenty of scope for gift ideas.
