GIMME A BREAK-ATION THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
The Getaway Gift Card™ from BedandBreakfast.com offers the perfect gift for travelers in need of a break

Austin, TX – It’s no secret that Americans are desperately in need of a break; they work harder than members of any other county in the developed world. Yet hundreds of thousands of vacation days go unused annually because American workers feel they can’t take time to get away. After a year of scaling back, travelers are looking at hitting the roads again in 2010. This holiday season, give the perfect “no more excuses, it’s your turn for a break” gift. The Getaway Gift Card from BedandBreakfast.com means that the lucky recipients finally have a good reason to relax. BedandBreakfast.com calls it the three-day week-long vacation, because a three-day getaway at a B&B can feel like a week away, with minimal travel time and lots of extra pampering.

In September 2009, BedandBreakfast.com surveyed more than 40,000 travelers asking, "If Santa could bring one gift, what would you like it to be?" Almost 55 percent said they would like a gift card for B&B travel, trumping clothes, tech toys, appliances, collectibles and even general gift cards. There’s no time like the present to present the gift of relaxation to everyone on your holiday list!

This holiday season, savvy gift card shoppers are turning to The Getaway Gift Card from BedandBreakfast.com, welcome at over 4,000 B&Bs across the United States and Canada. Consumers love that that there are no fees, no taxes, no expiration or blackout dates, and that free shipping is always available. Online buying means shoppers can give an instant no-strings gift that offers complete flexibility. It’s the perfect gift for the boss -- send him/her far, far away -- or for that difficult-to-buy-for person who has everything but time to relax. Add a customized photo of the whole office or a romantic beach scene, and you have the perfect gift that’s tailored to fit everyone from the boss to your significant other.

The Getaway Gift Card from BedandBreakfast.com is conveniently sold online in any amount from $25 to $2,000, and in $50 and $100 denominations in thousands of retail stores.
