The gift of pampering

What do you buy the person who has everything or is just plain hard to buy for?

Spa treatments are all about making you feel good about yourself – a relaxing massage, a revitalising facial or even a re-energising vitamin infusion treatment can make a major, positive impact on wellbeing.

While many of us are spa devotees, some don’t spend money on spa treatments for themselves – making these loved ones the best recipients for spa Christmas gifts. And don’t forget the guys either; a face treatment or even a couple’s massage makes a great gift too.
