Zola, the online wedding registry service has paired with Airbnb, enabling couples to receive the lodging service's gift cards amounting to $100, $300 or $500. Once redeemed, the gift cards can be put toward a vacation rental in one of Airbnb's 191 listed countries. Although toasters and kitchen appliances are great, millennial couples are more likely to seek experience-oriented travel adventures, making this partnership a one-of-a-kind gift giving opportunity, that's sure to impress.
