Christmas is not too far off and this is the time to start thinking of Christmas presents and plan any Christmas holiday travel activities.

Europe is a great place to be in at Christmas time and if you’re planning on a holiday in Austria, consider doing something a little different.

While you’re at it, why not surprise your loved ones with a Christmas gift that will certainly delight them.  Yes, forget the usual ties, perfumes, chocolates etc.!

Here are a few Christmas travel gift ideas:
