How to create the perfect Christmas spa gift hamper
Spa-themed hampers are a great way to personalise your Christmas gift and make that special someone feel truly loved.
Not only will it make an indulgent and thoughtful present, but can add a sense of fun and whimsy to your Christmas shopping.
To make sure you leave nothing out of your basket of goodies, our spa manager, Kasia Ostrowska, has compiled this handy three-step guide to help you craft a luxurious hamper.
Step 1: Find beauty products and tools that will perfectly complement their skin
Line your hamper with bespoke beauty products and tools that suit your loved one’s skin type. To help you find what you need, we recommend chatting with one of our expert beauty therapists. They can advise what selection of GAIA products to purchase.
Some of our top picks include the GAIA jade roller and Gua Sha stones- you can use these tools home to brighten and soothe your complexion for a glowing and radiant appearance.
Step 2: Purchase gift vouchers for refreshing spa treatments
Few people treat themselves to a spa experience, which is why it makes such a brilliant Christmas gift idea. Why not spoil your loved one by booking them in for a day of pampering or purchasing gift vouchers they can use to pay for spa treatments that they want?
Three treatments that we offer at The Spa, that would make an excellent Christmas present for a relative or friend, include one of our GAIA facials, a hot stone or poultice massage, and our thermal spa experience.
Choose between our GAIA equilibrium crystal or Gaiyoga lifting facial. Both treatments rid the skin of toxins, reduce puffiness, and alleviate signs of stress for a more youthful look.
The GAIA hot stone and poultice massages work to ease deep-set muscle tension, promote relaxation and improve the skin’s texture. Either treatment is ideal for anyone that’s feeling overworked, stressed out or needs some alone time.
Our thermal spa is a lavish way to make the most of all the facilities we offer. The combination of treatments stimulates every sense for an immersive tranquil and calming experience that affects the whole body.
As part of the thermal spa experience, guests will have access to the sauna, salt vapour room, monsoon showers, sanarium, hydro spa pool and jacuzzi jet foot spas. Each offers immune boosting properties, eases stress, soothes muscle tension and promotes mindfulness.
Booking a trio of these treatments to include in your hamper will ensure your loved one is thoroughly rested.
Step 3: Beautifully wrap your hamper so it looks stunning beneath the tree
One of the best things about gifting a hamper is you can decorate and wrap it in a creative way to reflect your style.
Often people choose a wicker basket – this is ideal for holding the beauty products, accessories and gift vouchers you’ve bought. You can tie the hamper with ribbons in your loved one’s favourite colour for a personal touch.
We also offer a range of GAIA gift boxes that can save you time and stress with wrapping your presents. They are elegantly finished for that extra-special touch, and some even come with a limited-edition GAIA printed bag. This is perfect for storing beauty nick-knacks all in one place, so they’re easy to find.
By now your Christmas hamper should be set to go, ready in plenty of time for December 25th, and is the ideal way to say ‘I love you’ to that special someone this festive season.
