Best Auburn Gifts This Holiday Season: Experiences at The Collegiate Hotel

Looking for the best Auburn gifts this holiday season? For someone who already has the sweatshirt, the game-day gear, and a closet full of orange and blue, give something different: more time on the Plains. From basketball weekends to rooftop celebrations, the best Auburn gifts can be experiences you enjoy together, and The Collegiate Hotel is a welcoming place to start.

Auburn Basketball Tickets and a Hotel Stay

For the Auburn basketball fan on your list, pair game tickets with a stay at the CoHo and turn an evening at Neville Arena into a getaway. Arrive early enough for dinner downtown, cheer on the Tigers, and wake up with another morning to enjoy Auburn. It’s a thoughtful gift for your partner, your parents, or the friend who’s always ready for another game. Choose your matchup, arrange tickets separately, and book a stay at The Collegiate Hotel to bring the weekend together.

A Savannah Bananas Weekend in Auburn

If your favorite fan likes their entertainment with a little extra personality, plan a trip around the Savannah Bananas in Auburn. The opening weekend of the 2027 Banana Ball World Tour comes to the Plains February 25–27, with games at Plainsman Park before the Savannah Bananas face the Firefighters at Jordan-Hare Stadium on February 27. A hotel stay makes the trip feel like a complete holiday gift, with time for downtown exploring and a relaxed morning after the fun. Check official ticket information and coordinate your CoHo reservation separately, then tuck the itinerary into a card for a surprise worth counting down to.

Holiday Rooftop Gatherings in a Boozie Bubble

For a gift you can enjoy during the holiday season, gather your favorite people in a Boozie Bubble at The Collegiate Hotel. These heated, furnished rooftop tents make a cozy setting for an hour of catching up over seasonal drinks. During November and December, the festive surroundings of our CoHoHo holiday pop-up bar add to the occasion. Reserve a bubble for a date night, a holiday outing with friends, or a family gathering for guests ages 21 and older. Each bubble accommodates up to eight guests, with reservation fees and bar minimums applying.

Birthday and Anniversary Celebrations at the CoHo

A holiday gift can also be the beginning of next year’s celebration. If someone you love has a birthday, anniversary, or milestone coming up, surprise them with plans for a gathering at the CoHo. Imagine a birthday toast with their closest friends, an anniversary celebration with family, or a reunion that finally makes it out of the group chat. Contact our team to explore event spaces and arrangements, and consider adding overnight rooms so the celebration comes with more time together.

An Auburn Getaway With Personal Welcome Touches

Sometimes, a night away is all the occasion you need. For your partner, or anyone who could use a little time to unwind, give an Auburn hotel stay with room for dinner, conversation, and an unhurried morning. Make the gift more personal by asking our team about available welcome touches before arrival. Share what you’re celebrating and explore the options for making their first moments at the hotel feel special.

Give More Time in Auburn This Holiday Season

For Auburn graduates and proud Auburn parents, a return visit can be a gift in itself. Plan a weekend around familiar favorites: a walk through campus, browsing downtown shops, dinner at a beloved restaurant, and time to reconnect. A stay at The Collegiate Hotel gives the trip a home base in downtown Auburn. You don’t need to fill every hour. Having time to be back together in a place they love is often the best part.

Once you’ve chosen your experience, have a little fun with the reveal. Wrap a trip itinerary with an Auburn ornament, slip a hotel confirmation into a holiday card, or write an invitation to a rooftop gathering. Check that the dates work for your recipient and review booking terms before making arrangements. For sports getaways, remember to coordinate tickets and hotel reservations separately.

The best Auburn gifts give people something to look forward to long after the decorations come down. Whether it’s a basketball weekend, a Banana Ball trip, a Boozie Bubble gathering, or a stay with a thoughtful welcome, make this year’s gift more time together on the Plains. Explore stays at The Collegiate Hotel, reserve your rooftop experience, or contact our team to start planning a celebration.
