Massage gift guide: how to choose the right one
For someone who never stops, give a relaxing massage. For a runner or gym-goer, give sports massage. For a mum to be, give pregnancy massage. If you are not sure, a money voucher lets them choose for themselves.

Match the massage to the person
| Who it is for | Best gift |
|---|---|
| Always busy, never stops | Relaxing massage, 60 or 90 minutes |
| Desk-bound, tight shoulders | Deep tissue massage |
| Runner, lifter, cyclist | Sports massage |
| Pregnant | Pregnancy massage |
| Not sure | A money voucher |
60 or 90 minutes?
60 minutes covers a full body massage without rushing. 90 minutes is the more generous choice for someone who really needs to switch off, because nothing feels rushed.
Make it feel like more than a voucher
- Book them a time yourself, so they can't put it off for months.
- Offer to cover the school run, the dog walk or the kids that afternoon.
- Pair it with a coffee or lunch nearby afterwards.
