Hotel Gift Cards Are So Last Decade, This Year it's All About the eCard

We know, we know. It's not even Halloween yet so you don't want to hear about holiday gift ideas until at least mid-November but we can't help ourselves. We're in a holiday mood! Probably because Mandarin Oriental Hotels have just announced their eGift Cards.
It was only last year that MO even began offering a hotel gift card but this year they're going the extra mile with the eGift Cards, "perfect for last minute shoppers" i.e. us. The cards can hold from $50 to $5,000, in any denomination, and can be sent via email "anywhere around the world." (Yes, Virginia, that is how email works.)

10 Holiday Gift Ideas For The Hotel Lover in Your Life
You've got 12 days until Christmas and if you're still struggling to find the perfect gift for the hotel lover in your life, we've got some good gift ideas for you. Once again, we've gone through some of our favorite hotel products from the past year and picked out the ones we'd like to receive er, we think would make great gifts--whether for stocking stuffers or to open on Christmas morn. So let's get shopping!

1. Keychains from "Hotel" Marc: : We kicked off 2010 coveting, and eventually owning, these Hotel Marc keychains from fashion designer Marc Jacobs. Sadly, there is no Hotel Marc...yet but with the proliferation of fashion hotels these days, we don't think Hotel MJ is far behind. Until then, you can buy leather versions for just $13. You can choose from the script lettering or the bolder print. Both keyrings say "Since 1984" on the back.
Where to Buy: MarcJacobs.com.

Have a dapper man or fancy lady in your life but don't know what to get them this holiday season? Fortunately, the Mandarin Oriental has come to your rescue by announcing their first-ever, Mandarin Oriental Gift Card
Available in denominations from $50 to $10,000, the MO gift card can be used for hotel stays, spa services, dining, drinks, boutique purchases and any leisure activities that happen at an MO hotel.

Fairmont Gift Cards Now 'Give Back'

Gift cards can feel like a lame, lazy choice for a holiday present. But if the recipient loves to travel, or just eat well and get their spa on, we think a hotel gift card is one of the best things you could give. And if you need a little icing on the cake--something to erase any lukewarm "oh, a gift card..." reactions--all you have to do is look for one that has a charity element. Voila, this year's Fairmont Hotels gift card!
For every gift card sold this holiday season, Fairmont will donate $5 to Mission Blue, a marine conservation initiative of the National Geographic Society.

Hyatt Wants To Make Your Hotel Wishes Come True

Every so often here at HotelChatter we ask our writers to tell us where they dream of going if money was no object and time off was limitless. We chronicle these sad hotel daydreams in our series, Cubicle Dreamin'.
We fully know that our chances of having a sugar daddy (or mommy) read our wish list and answer it to the fullest extent--with daily room service breakfast, a butler on call and a suite with killer views-- are slim to none but if you're the type of person that's both particular about your hotel stays and your gifts, you may want to consider the Hyatt Wish List which is slightly more realistic than our Cubicle Dreamin' patheticness.

Merry Christmas, It's a Trump Gift Card!

While it's a little too early for us to be writing about holiday gifts here at HotelChatter, we did think it was funny that Trump Hotels are now promoting gift certificates for their properties.
The certificates start at $50 and go up to $5,000 and they are only good for one property. So there's no hopping from New York to Vegas, unless you gift your special someone with two gift certificates.
Since we're not so keen on the Trump Las Vegas, we say you might be best either at the Trump Chicago, which just opened last year or bide your time for Trump Soho, opening February 1st. (Trump Waikiki is not available for a gift card just yet.)

The Five Best Gifts for Hotel Geeks

We here at HotelChatter have been keeping a running list on the Hotel Swag offered up by some of your favorite big-box and independent hotels alike. Some of these hotel retail products are unforgivable (a wall-mounted hair dryer from the Radisson). Some are quirky but cute (the Four Points old-timey apple peeler) and some are just downright strange (the ceramic hen from Sofitel.)
Yet there are some legit gifts that you can purchase from hotels. We rifled through the racks of hotel swag (online of course) to bring you the Five Best Gifts For Hotel Geeks.

Casino Hotels Join Gift Card Craze
We're still not sure if it’s a sign of desperation or just a really good marketing idea, but The Borgata, in Atlantic City is promoting Gift Cards for the holiday season. We've all seen gift cards for hotels, or perhaps a restaurant in a hotel but nothing for an entire casino hotel property before. Is business really getting this bad?
In one day this week, we received two separate emails from the Borgata's players club encouraging us to give the gift cards as gifts for the holiday in denominations from $25 to $500. They even offer three different designs, one for the Borgata, the WaterClub and their Spa Toccare.

Four Seasons Hotels Present Surprisingly Affordable Gift Ideas

Maybe inspired by their hometown boy Barack Obama’s populist message, Chicago’s Four Seasons Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton (also a Four Seasons Hotel) are presenting a holiday special that seems to--gasp!--be an attempt to speak to the common man with more-affordable-than-usual prices.
The “Twelve Days of Small Holiday Indulgences” includes 8 out of 12 holiday-themed perks that start under $100 and can be gifted via gift certificates.
