How it works
The giver sets the frame. The recipient fills in the details. Here's exactly who does what.
Choose destinations and a budget, switch on flight, lodging, and experience options, and add a personal note. Takes minutes.
They open a private invite, browse your curated options, search real flights and stays for their own dates, and build the trip they actually want — all inside your budget.
Their choices come back to your dashboard, so you see exactly what they picked and what it'll cost. When you're happy, you book it through the links — flights, stay, experiences. You give the final yes and make it real.

A real example
Here's one complete gift, start to finish — what the giver set up, and what the recipient chose.
A gift from Alex, for Jane's 30th
It starts with the budget Alex set
$2,000
Everything Jane picks has to fit inside this.
Jane spent $1,065 · $935 still under budget
The budget is the frame. Alex set the limit and the options; Jane built the trip she actually wanted inside it — and Alex saw every choice before anything was booked.
Inspiration
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations — whenever the moment calls for more than a card.
Turn a big birthday into a bigger adventure — the trip they've always talked about.
Let your partner pick every detail of your next romantic getaway, on your budget.
They worked hard. Now hand them the world — and let them choose where to start.
Soon you'll be able to pool with friends and family toward one trip, and let the guest of honour plan from your curated selection.
Skip the socks. Give a weekend break, a city escape, or a bucket-list adventure.
Recognise your team with something memorable — a trip that means something, chosen by them.
Why not just send money?
Cash is easy but forgettable. Planning the whole trip is thoughtful but risky. Bestow sits exactly in between.
Cash gets spent on bills. A gift card gets forgotten in a drawer. Bestow gives the thoughtfulness of a planned trip — while still letting them choose the parts that matter.
No surprises
Travel is real money, so here's the honest version up front — before you build anything.
Creating and sending a gift costs nothing. You only spend money on the actual trip your recipient chooses.
Nothing happens behind your back. Your recipient's choices come back to you — you review them and book the trip yourself, so nothing is paid for without your final yes.
You set the spending limit. Your recipient sees what's left as they choose and can't blow past the cap you set.
Flights and stays come from live search, so the prices your recipient sees are real ones — not rough guesses.
Questions
You do, as the giver. Your recipient browses and selects what they want, but their choices come back to you first. You review what they picked and what it costs, then book it yourself through the links — flights, stay, and experiences. Nothing is booked or paid for without you.
Building and sending a gift is free. You only spend money when you book the trip your recipient chose, and that booking happens through the travel providers themselves — so you pay them directly, at the real price, never more than the budget you set.
Yes. You can go back into a gift you've already sent and change the details — destination, budget, dates, options — and the invite link stays exactly the same, so there's no need to resend anything.
Yes. You can cancel a gift from your dashboard whenever you like. Because no money passes through Bestow — you book the trip directly with the travel providers — cancelling simply voids the gift; there's nothing to refund on our end.
Flights and stays come from live search, so your recipient is choosing from real, current prices rather than estimates. Travel prices can always move between choosing and booking — which is exactly why their choices come back to you to book yourself, so you're always working from the real price at the moment you book.
