Tarjetas de regalo
Hola, no sé cómo poner en inglés este término en un contexto muy concreto que es el siguiente:
¡Regala una noche en un hotelito con encanto y un delicioso desayuno para dos!
Deja que elija el homenajeado. Regala las Tarjetas Regalo, ¡hay una para cada ocasión!
Es que si pongo "give" me parece que queda cojo...
Muchas gracias

gift/treat someone
'gift' can be used as a verb, although I think it sounds slightly more American than British, maybe someone else will confirm that or say otherwise.
See here for discussion on 'gift' as a verb: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/23/opinion/23visser.html?_r=0
I think in the second phrase it would sound a bit strange so I would rephrase it. 'Tarjetas Regalo make perfect gifts - There's one for every occasion' for example.
You can use 'treat' but it needs to be followed by an object' - 'Treat someone/a friend etc to a night...'

: Treat someone to - or your rewrite with "perfect gifts" - both work well.
