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.

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.
