    LONDON, ENGLAND, June 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Red Carnation, the luxury collection of five and four star family-run boutique hotels, today launches their new Gift Experience Vouchers program to solve the dilemma of gift purchases with a range of over 100 gift ideas for friends, colleagues and loved ones.

Shopping to spoil a loved one or to thank or reward a partner, friend or colleague can be a difficult task, therefore the Red Carnation Gift Experience Vouchers make the perfect gift. Lucky recipients can celebrate and indulge themselves in luxurious surroundings, creating special and unique moments to last a lifetime at any one of their thirteen five and four star family-run boutique hotels around the globe.

Red Carnation Gift Experience Vouchers are ideal for birthday gifts for him, for her, for kids, for individuals, for couples, for families, for anniversaries and even a wedding present. Guests can choose from a tempting selection of experiences such as food and wine discovery evenings at one of the "Best Hotels For Food" by Conde Nast Traveller magazine with one of the world's finest Sommeliers or Traditional Afternoon teas at the winner of the "Award for Excellence" for outstanding Afternoon tea by the Tea Guild. If you are looking to impress, then a relaxing and rejuvenating wellness break in South Africa at Travel + Leisure magazine's "Best Hotel in the World" or a romantic getaway for two in London's No.1 "Best Places to Stay in the World" by Conde Nast Traveller is a sure winner! For those who are still a little undecided on which experience to select, monetary vouchers in four different currencies can be purchased to spend on food, beverage or overnight accommodation when visiting any of the hotels.

Purchased online or at all the hotels, Experience Vouchers are beautifully presented with a personalised voucher and brochure wallet which can be sent directly to the recipient by post, email or can be purchased within the hotels.
