The Spa Week Holiday Gift Guide

A very wise Elf once said “The best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” We totally agree – but the second best way is to share the gift of wellness with your loved ones.

‘Tis the season of giving, and we know that the health nuts and beauty aficionados in your life aren’t the only ones who will appreciate a Spa & Wellness eGift Card. These other people (who you might not have thought of at first) will love it just as much:

Party host/hostess: Who needs another bottle of wine? After all the stress of hosting a fabulous soiree, a day at the spa sounds like a far superior and healthier way to take the edge off – it’s the perfect way to say “thank you!”

Athlete or fitness fanatic: Male or female, the spa isn’t a place most people would associate with tough athletic types. Skip the generic gym totes and help relieve your sports star’s tension and soreness with deep-tissue massages, foot reflexology and other restorative treatments. He/she will be thanking you for their invigorated bodies during those intense work-outs!

Boss or co-worker: There’s a good chance you’re not on B.F.F status with your boss or co-workers but feel obligated to get them a gift…..or maybe it’s the name you pulled in this year’s Secret Santa. Either way, it can be challenging to gift them something thoughtful without getting too personal. With the Spa & Wellness eGift Card, they’ll have the freedom to choose from thousands of locations and services, all while knowing that you have their well-being in mind.

Person who has it all: There’s always that pesky person on your list who just has everything, severely limiting your gift giving options. No matter what treatment they choose with his/her Spa & Wellness eGift Card, this gift will outlast any other present they receive. Whether it’s reaping the health benefits of massage therapy, receiving an education in skincare with a clinical facial or finding inner peace with a yoga session, your caring gift won’t go unnoticed by even the toughest crowd(s) on your list.

Person you forgot to get a gift for: Oh no – it’s Christmas Eve and you completely forgot your nephew’s girlfriend was celebrating with you this year. There isn’t a store opened in sight and you’re strapped for time. Spa & Wellness eGift Cards to the rescue! Personalize an eGift Card on SpaWeek.com to be printed instantly, or even send via e-mail to your Great Aunt across the country who may have slipped your mind!

Spa & Wellness eGift Cards are 20% off – take advantage of this great offer now!

Happy Holidays,

Giveaway: We’ll Trade You More Spa For Your Spa Stories

We hope you haven’t fallen too badly into a post-spa depression (PSD) because Spa Week Spring 2012 has officially ended. But cheer up buttercup because the spa-rty isn’t over yet! There’s an after party going on and you’re invited! The celebration continues with hundreds of spas extending their #50dollartreatments. We’re also inviting you to share your spa stories, because what better way to relive your spa experience than by taking a walk down memory lane (or a soak, scrub or massage down wellness gain)? Reliving your spa treatment could also do more than take you back to that euphoric place, it could get you back to the spa – for free!

We bet you shared your experience with family and friends but now WE want to hear! Whether you went for a microdermabrasion that you had to Google before you booked, or you left behind some unwanted years during an anti-aging treatment, or just if you got firmed, wrapped, polished, soaked, massaged, Botoxed or detoxed… we want to know all the steamy details!

Gift Cards for Greater Good: 9-Inch Hair Donations

Massages, facials, Pilates and mani-pedis… there are countless ways to use Spa & Wellness Gift Cards. But Sara M., the lucky grand prize winner of our #12daysofwellness Tweet-a-thon, and her daughter took their $100 gift card prize over to Splash Salon & Spa in Bridgewater, NJ, one of the 5,000+ locations in North America that accepts our gift card, to cut off nine inches of hair.

My daughter & I have both been growing out our hair super long for a few years now because we wanted to donate our hair to Pantene’s “Beautiful Lengths” program. We decided we’re going to use the $100 Spa & Wellness Gift Card (prize) to go to the salon/spa at the mall & get our hair cut for donation. I feel so blessed, it’s our way of “giving back,” Sara told us last month.

Beautiful Lengths is a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society that has donated thousands of free, real-hair wigs to women living with cancer. “Our stylists Jen & Marissa did a fantastic job,” Sara told us. ”We will definitely be recommending this salon to friends & family. Glad they are in your network!”

Thank you, ladies, for sending us these GAW-JUS before and after pics of you both. Even more so, THANK YOU for letting Spa Week be part of your story!

“My daughter Amanda is turning 16 this month and donating her hair has been a dream of hers for many years now,” Sara continued. “This was her idea & I’m so glad we did it.”
