Help! I don’t know what to buy anyone for Christmas!

Posted on 2 December 2010

We don’t want to put you in a bad mood or anything, with only 24 days to Christmas it’s time to panic! Just joking. There’s still plenty of time to get sorted and avoid the crowds on Christmas Eve!

A great gift to give friends and family this year are theatre gift vouchers. These are an ideal gift and redeemable against all the different plays, musicals and comedy shows in London. Think how exciting it can be when your mum knows she’s got Mamma Mia, Disney’s The Lion King, Les Miserables or new show Betty Blue Eyes to look forward to.

The advantage of theatre gift vouchers is that they can be redeemed for up to a year after the purchase date allowing your lucky recipient plenty of time to decide when to go to London and what shows to see. The vouchers can be used by calling a specialised ticket agent over the phone, so it doesn’t matter if you give some to your grandmother this Christmas and she doesn’t have internet access – it won’t be a problem!

What can be better than theatre gift vouchers, these allow recipient to book a show of their choice, taking the hassle out of trying to second guess what your mother, grandmother or aunty would want? Especially because the London theatre gift vouchers can also be used for London attractions like Madame Tussauds or the London Eye – what a treat!

But if you don’t decide to buy theatre tokens or gift vouchers, you can still enjoy all London has to offer in the run up to Christmas and the New Year. There are a lot of seasonal theatre shows on in London this Christmas. Some of the most popular shows include The Snowman, and The Christmas Carol.

If the traditional Christmas pantomime isn’t your cup of tea, you can still book tickets for any the other West End shows, whether that’s before Christmas when you travel to London for your Christmas shopping spree or by giving theatre tickets as a gift to someone special. There are loads of shows to chose from to suit a wide variety of tastes. From the traditional musicals like Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables to the popular hits Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You.

So take the stress out of buying Christmas presents this year and give theatre gift vouchers to your friends and family and treat them to the night of their lives.
