Not Another Valentine’s Stuffed Animal!

Calling all husbands, boyfriends and loved ones –

Women do not want another stuffed animal for Valentine’s Day. I know stores have shelves filled with cheesy stuffed animals for the romantic holiday, but if you really want to score points with us this year – don’t buy another stuffed animal! (Dads, that goes for our kids too, they may love it but we moms are tired of the house overflowing with stuffed things. Make mom happy; buy them a puzzle or something equally educational.)

Want to know the secret to what women really want? We want a moment to ourselves. Just one quiet, relaxing moment of peace… That’s what we really want – not a box of chocolates either because we are just going to feel guilty when we finish the whole box. So, how do you wrap up a moment of peace and tranquility? How about a gift certificate to The Spa? Yes, a gift certificate – it’s that easy! (Dads, you might want to throw in an IOU to watch the kids while mom gets pampered.)

A gift certificate provides us with just the reason we need to go and pamper ourselves for a moment. A massage, a manicure, a pedicure, a facial… ahh, imagine the possibilities…

You don’t even have to spend a lot on said gift certificate. Sure a certificate in the triple digits would be great, but let’s get real. We are in a recession after all. A $30 gift certificate will cover a 30-minute spa pedicure, while a $50 gift certificate buys an hour-long fancy pedicure. How’s that for recession options – how about an express facial for only $50?

Still looking to strrrrrrretch that buck? Did you know that if you joined The Spa’s Half Off Club, you could receive 50% off most services!! Now that is a Valentine’s gift treat on a budget!

So, this year skip the stuffed animals and chocolate and buy the woman in your life what she really wants – a moment of relaxation…a gift certificate to The Spa!

PS – Women, help your sisters out – forward this to every man you know and make Valentine’s Day extra special for your girlfriends!
