AUCKLAND – 20 April 2009: Mother’s Day is traditionally a day to give your mum a break – this year, why not make her break a little longer with a weekend away on Wotif.com.

A Gift Voucher from Wotif.com is an easy way to send your mum packing to any of Wotif.com’s hotels – where she goes is her choice.

It seems more people are cottoning on to the Gift Voucher idea, with Wotif.com’s voucher sales doubling each May, compared year-on-year over the last four years. 

“May is our biggest month for Gift Voucher sales behind December when we get the Christmas rush,” said Megan Magill, Wotif.com General Manager Brand.

“We email the Gift Vouchers immediately after purchase directly to your inbox, or straight to your mum’s inbox if you prefer, which means even if you do leave it to the last minute to buy your gift, it will still arrive in time.”

Other benefits of opting for a Wotif.com Gift Voucher include:

1. It’s easy – you can buy online and never set a foot inside a store.
2. It’s flexible – giving your mum the power to decide where she’d like to escape to.
3. It’s fail proof – a Wotif.com Gift Voucher will suit every mum’s unique tastes & budget.
4. You can save on postage costs – bulky presents are costly to post if you live too far to actually deliver your present in person (although you probably are long overdue for a visit with the person who raised you since day one...).
5. You may also be able to benefit – who knows, maybe your mum will want you to keep her company on her break.

Wotif.com gift vouchers can be purchased from the Wotif.com website www.wotif.com or by phoning their customer service centre on 1300 88 7979 – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
