It might not seem like that long, but remember many people start their plans from November onwards, so the time accumulates over a couple of months. Of course most of that time is spent very enjoyably, but clearly it makes sense to plan ahead.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20625%20328'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load alignnone size-full wp-image-3210\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/toa-heftiba-174004-1900x1000.jpg\" alt=\"toa-heftiba-174004\" width=\"625\" height=\"328\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3210\" src=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/toa-heftiba-174004-1900x1000.jpg\" alt=\"toa-heftiba-174004\" width=\"625\" height=\"328\" \/><\/noscript>One interesting statistic that we picked out is that 15% of the time we spend on getting ready for Christmas, or almost 10 hours, is used in choosing and buying gifts. We also spend over four hours just on wrapping. Now what if there was a way to dramatically cut that time, while still ensuring the recipient loves their gift?<\/p>\n<p>You guessed it &#8211; this is where Tinggly comes in!<\/p>\n<h2><em>We help you give your friends and family the gift of choice.<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>When you buy a Tinggly gift for someone, it\u2019s sent to them in the form of a voucher, enclosed in a stylish presentation box. No wrapping necessary unless you want to add your own. You can add a personal message for the recipient through our automated system too.<\/p>\n<p>They then have up to two years to redeem their voucher against <a href=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/experiences\/map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100s of fantastic gift experiences in our collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just browsing the map can provide hours of amusement as people read up on what they can exchange their voucher for, in dozens of countries around the world. For the romantic, there are couples\u2019 sunset sightseeing cruises or spa sessions that are perfect for weekend city breaks. For those with an adventurous spirit, there are scuba diving lessons, bungee jumps and race-car driving experiences, and for those who love nothing more than indulging their palate there are wine-tasting sessions, guided foodie tours and unusual meals in destinations all over the planet.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20625%20328'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load alignnone size-full wp-image-3209\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/chad-madden-179301-1900x1000.jpg\" alt=\"chad-madden-179301\" width=\"625\" height=\"328\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3209\" src=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/chad-madden-179301-1900x1000.jpg\" alt=\"chad-madden-179301\" width=\"625\" height=\"328\" \/><\/noscript>When you give someone a Tinggly gift, you let them pick out an experience that suits their personal preferences, their holiday plans, or their longheld dreams and ambitions. It\u2019s great for them, and it naturally also saves you a huge amount of time. The purchase process couldn\u2019t be simpler &#8211; just select the gift range you want to buy, from Essential, Premium and Ultimate, add the recipient\u2019s details and a personal note, and then make the payment. Within days the gift box will be on its way, meaning that Tinggly experiences are also a great last-minute gift idea!<\/p>\n<p>So, this holiday, take some of the pressure off by giving your friends and family the perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/christmas-gifts\">Christmas experience gift<\/a>, leaving yourself much more time to enjoy the celebration!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20625%20328'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load alignnone size-full wp-image-3211\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/freestocks-org-172972-1900x1000.jpg\" alt=\"freestocks-org-172972\" width=\"625\" height=\"328\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3211\" src=\"https:\/\/tinggly.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/freestocks-org-172972-1900x1000.jpg\" alt=\"freestocks-org-172972\" width=\"625\" height=\"328\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many of us, Christmas is the happiest, most fun time of the year.
