It’s December, and I’d like to thank my readers for supporting me and my blog. Christmas is way more fun if you are giving gifts than receiving them, right?! And since my motto is “Travel strengthens families and marriages,” I’m going to give away a road trip care package to help you on your way for the holidays! Here’s my Christmas road trip giveaway:
Travel care package
I’ve put together a little travel care package that includes items that might be fun to have on a road trip, but here’s a secret: You could also use these items on a train or airplane flight, too!
- Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, shampoo, shower gel, mouthwash, comb
- Misting fan to keep cool at the beach
- Set of two luggage tags
- Kids’ travel games book
- Travel journal
- 4-color pen for writing about your adventures
- $25 gas card
Want to enter the giveaway?
I always make my giveaways easy to enter. All you have to do is comment below. Tell me where you’d like to travel next and you’ll get one entry. But you get three extra entries if you’ve subscribed to my blog. (Be sure to mention in your comment if you’ve subscribed!) That’s all — I told you it would be easy.
The giveaway ends in a week, December 8th, 2022 at 9 pm Pacific time. I’ll choose a random winner from all of the entries received. If you are selected, I’ll email you for your mailing address and get it shipped to you right away. There’s only one catch. I’m only going to ship to a United States address. I think the gas card can only be used in the U.S. anyway.
Here’s the fun part
I’m going to highlight the articles I’ve written with road trip tips and some of my favorite road trip itineraries, so you can get some road trip inspiration.
