If you’re in a holiday gift-giving slump, look no further than your local spa for inspiring ideas. Gift cards, once thought to be a total gift cop-out, are revived thanks to add-ons and extra benefits with purchase. Gift certificates allow first-time spa-goers to realize what the spa experience is all about – a healthy lifestyle. Investing in someone’s health is the gift that keeps on giving, and the spa is the place for education on skin care, nutrition, stress reduction and balancing a hectic lifestyle.
“A spa gift certificate spreads the gift of health and wellness,” said ISPA President Lynne McNees. “Reducing and relieving stress is the No. 1 reason that people go to the spa, and after the difficult year many people have endured, introducing them to the spa lifestyle will be the best present they receive.”
A recent survey of ISPA members revealed that, this holiday season, gift card promotions and incentives are as easy to find as fruitcake.
* The Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, FL – On Dec. 14 do your holiday shopping at the spa by purchasing gift certificates. While you’re there get a mini Kerstin Florian facial for $40, and receive a $40 credit on Kerstin Florian products.
