Tips for Buying a Spa Gift Certificate
Spa certificates are a nice thoughtful gift. If the recipient has a favorite spa, then logically you would get a certificate from there. If the gift is for a first time spa guest get one from a local spa.
If it's an elaborate spa gift you're looking for or if your town doesn't have a local spa, you can get a gift certificate online for 3,500 different spas located all over the world. At www.spafinder.com. You can purchase certificates in $25.00 increments and for a couple of extra dollars you'll receive a nice gift box and it can be shipped directly to the recipient's home.
DAY SPA
The amount of the certificate of course depends on your budget and how much you want to give. For a $25.00 certificate the receiver can get a Manicure or pedicure or a waxing at most spas. For a $50.00 certificate they could get a basic facial or a hour massage. A $100.00 certificate would allow for an hour long massage or a combination of a few of the above less expensive treatments.
RESORT SPA
If you purchase a gift certificate on spa finder for a vacation style resort spa you will receive up to 30% off the total cost of most spas. A three day all inclusive, with 3 body treatments of one's choice and all the luxuries that a spa vacation offers can be purchased for $1,000.
TIPS
With a certificate from spa finder the tips are not included. With my spa experience at most spas a gift certificate does not include the tip(s). Tips are expected but they are still optional depending on the service. So the gift certificate itself is only applied to services or products the spa sells. If you want to include the tip with the certificate it is best to figure 15-20% of the total amount of the certificate and include the cash in the envelope or box with the certificate.
Pampering someone is a great way to show them just how much they are loved and appreciated.
