Massage gift vouchers: an easy gift to give

There is always one person who is impossible to buy for. They do not need another candle, they will not tell you what they want, and they are the last person to book anything for themselves. A massage gift voucher solves that fairly neatly: it is an hour of time out, and the choosing is left to them.

Why a massage gift voucher works as a present

The useful thing about a voucher is that it removes the guesswork twice over. You do not have to know whether they want firm work through the shoulders or a quiet relaxation massage with hot stones, and they do not have to be polite about a gift that missed. It also gives permission, which is the real gift for most people. Booking an hour for yourself is easy to keep deferring. Being given one is much harder to talk yourself out of.

How our massage gift vouchers work

You purchase a gift voucher online in a couple of minutes and it arrives by email, so it works just as well for a birthday you remembered a week ago as for one you remembered this morning. Vouchers are redeemable on any treatment on our menu, and they are valid for three years from the day they are issued, so there is no rush on the recipient to find a date. Full details sit on the massage gift vouchers page.

Choosing an amount or a treatment

You can pick a set amount or a custom one. The presets line up with real treatment lengths, so $70 covers a 30 minute session, $110 covers the signature hour, and the higher amounts cover the longer treatments and the lymphatic drainage massage sessions. If you would rather not think in dollars, choose the amount that matches the treatment you have in mind on the massage treatment menu and leave the rest to them.

When a gift voucher suits better than a booking

Booking an appointment on someone else's behalf sounds thoughtful and occasionally is, but it takes a guess at their diary, their preferences and how they will feel that week. A voucher avoids all three. It is a good fit for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day, for a thank you, and for the new parents in your life who will not get to it for a couple of months. If the recipient has never had a professional massage before, send them our guide on what to expect at your first massage alongside it.
