12 Days of Christmas Gift Ideas
Sabrina • Dec 07, 2020

Truly, gift giving is such a favorite thing of mine that I created this gift guide to help you! Gift ideas coming from contemplating who a person is … what they’d like  … what they need, but won’t buy for themselves … how they’ll look when they open their present … how they’ll feel about their new gift! These things make me happy. And in a time when I know I need some happy, and I know my friends, family, loved ones need some happy, I’m pretty excited about my gift ideas this year. I’ve been so excited that I have been stocking the spa with so many great gift options!

We thought 12 Days of Christmas would be a fun way to highlight the different special people in our lives and our gift guide for great gifts ideas. for each of them! If you are looking for any ideas, give us a call, message us on Instagram or Facebook, or stop by. Everyone at the spa loves helping you choose the perfect spa gift!
