Credit card gift cards

Hi - has anyone used pre loaded credit cards as gift cards? I am looking to give a gift to a relative of a trip overseas and will need to load about £3K onto a card that they can use to book flights, hotel and some spending money. I thought a card would be safer than travel vouchers but I can't seem to find a card that fits the bill - some don't allow that amount to be loaded and the others seem to want monthly fees. Any ideas?

Split the money onto 2 or 3 cards.
You looked at the pre paid cards section on here ?0 -
As above £3k is quite a lot for one card so I would split the balance over more than one card. Take one with you all the time and leave one lodged with the hotel reception locked away in a safe. If you lose the card you've got with you it's not a disaster as you've got another one back at the hotel.:footie:
