It\u2019s relaxing, indulgent, and luxurious \u2013 the perfect way to help your loved ones unwind after the intensity of the festive period. And, as we know, Christmas can pretty darn stressful<\/em>. From the seemingly endless list of gifts to buy, to the back-to-back Christmas nights out (and the subsequent head-shattering hangovers), sometimes all you need is a little pampering to lighten the load. Find someone who won\u2019t<\/em> thank you for the light-as-a-feather, walking-on-air feeling of post-massage bliss \u2013 we\u2019ll bet you can\u2019t.","video_content":"","block_picture":8642},{"block_title":"Mani","block_content":"Seriously, what\u2019s not to love about a good mani? Whether it\u2019s for the nail lover in your life (we\u2019ve all got \u2018em), or just someone who you think deserves a bit of a pamper \u2013 a mani is actually a pretty versatile gift. If you know their fave nail place, or what they usually go for (think: acrylics, gel nails, nail art, etc.) \u2013 then this will be an easy one. If not, a\u00a0classic mani<\/a>\u00a0is a safe bet for a lush bit of pampering, and a\u00a0gel mani<\/a>\u00a0is great for those who love a more glam and long-lasting finish. Bonus? Book yourselves in together for the perfect bonding-pampering experience with your mum, sister, or best pal. Plus, it\u2019s the ultimate excuse to treat yourself too. Win-win.","video_content":"","block_picture":8643},{"block_title":"The Treatwell Gift Card","block_content":"Everyone knows someone who\u2019s impossible to buy for. They\u2019re either super fussy, endlessly indecisive, or they have everything already. Enter: the Treatwell Gift Card. Whether they fancy treating themselves to something indulgent (hello, massage), or whether they\u2019re more into the practical (time for their monthly haircut?) \u2013 there\u2019s something for everyone. Plus, they can book any time, anywhere. The perfect Christmas gift, sorted.","video_content":"","block_picture":9143},{"block_title":"Facial","block_content":"Excessive drinking, excessive food, and excessive cold \u2013 yep, the festive season is full of things that can mess with your skin. For anyone who has enjoyed the festive period a little *too* much (read: all of us), a post-party-season facial is the perfect gift to help rejuvenate and revitalise. Or, for an early Christmas present that will leave them glowing throughout party season, a facial around two weeks before<\/em> the big day will do the trick. Plus, it\u2019s another great way to combat the aforementioned December stress, which they\u2019ll definitely thank you for.","video_content":"","block_picture":8645},{"block_title":"Hair","block_content":"A hair appointment might be one of those things that you probably wouldn\u2019t think of gifting someone (unless you know their fave hairdresser and cut & colour choice \u2013 in which case, go for it). Actually, though, there are a tonne of hair treatments that would make really great gifts (and earn you the title of \u2018best gift-giver ever\u2019, probably). If there\u2019s something they\u2019ve wanted to try for a while \u2013 a brazilin blow dry or hair relaxer, for example \u2013 then now\u2019s the perfect time to surprise them. If not \u2013 opt for a more universal gift, such as a conditioning treatment or hair mask. A wash & blow dry is always a good choice too \u2013 perfect for those who love getting glammed up, or just those who love the unbeatable feeling of the hair-wash-head-massage combo (which, let\u2019s be honest, applies to us all).","video_content":"","block_picture":8646},{"block_title":"Pedicure","block_content":"Without being too dramatic \u2013 a good pedicure is *kind of* to die for. From the warming foot baths (a godsend in this weather) to the heavenly foot rubs, a pedi offers some\u00a0serious<\/em>\u00a0pampering. Not to mention the amazingly soft, supple, and gorj-looking feet that come with it. And, given the marathon of christmas shopping and pub-hopping that December has in store for us all, what better gift for your loved ones than giving some love to their poor, worn-out tootsies. If you know someone who\u2019s not yet been converted, then booking them a pedicure for Christmas might just make you their favourite person, like, ever. Of course, if they\u2019re already a pedi-lover, then gifting them the joy of their fave pedi is a no brainer, really.","video_content":"","block_picture":8647},{"block_title":"Brows & lashes","block_content":"The few years have been pretty weird. The dawn of the era of WFH, and the subsequent endless blurry video meetings have produced at least one good thing though: the joy of going makeup-free. For those who have loved the makeup-free life but aren\u2019t quite ready to go au-naturel out in the real world, then booking them a brow and\/or lash treatment is \u2013 if we say so ourselves \u2013 a pretty genius idea. For a more natural look, a brow tint and wax is a great go-to (and is usually inexpensive, so works great as a secret santa gift or stocking filler). A lash lift and tint is perfect for those who want to enhance their natural lashes, and eyelash extensions are ideal for a more glam look. The gift of \u2018I woke up like this\u2019 beauty? Dreamy.","video_content":"","block_picture":8648},{"block_title":"Body Scrub","block_content":"If you want to go down the more indulgent, \u2018probably-wouldn\u2019t-buy-for-themselves\u2019 kind of route \u2013 a body scrub is a perfect choice. It\u2019s super pampering \u2013 the massaging aspect assures that much \u2013 and results in silky smooth baby-soft skin. Essentially, you\u2019re giving them a bit of indulgence, whilst helping to battle the skin woes that the festive season throws at us (cold weather, hot showers, and alcohol \u2013 it\u2019s brutal out here). What\u2019s not to love.","video_content":"","block_picture":8649}]},"yoast_head":"\n
