How to give it
Experience gifts need a plan. Put a date in the card, or give her a short list of options and let her choose. Check booking and refund rules so the gift is easy to use.
Not sure it's the one? Ask yourself three questions: will she use it at least once a week, does it fit her taste rather than yours, and could she return or exchange it easily? Two yeses is usually a good sign.
