How to buy a spa gift card for someone who has never had a treatment

The hardest part of buying someone a spa gift card is usually not the spa — it is guessing what they’d actually want. A facial sounds too specific if you don’t know their skin. A massage sounds impersonal if you don’t know how firm they like it. Most people freeze at that decision and buy a candle instead.

The easier way is to skip the decision. A gift card bought by dollar amount, not by treatment name, lets the person who’s actually going to lie on the table pick what they want when they book. $75 covers a facial or a shorter massage. $150 covers most of a package. Either way, you’re not the one who has to know the menu.

If you do want to pick something specific, the Half Day is the safest bet for someone who has never been to a spa before — it includes a facial and a massage, so there is no wrong first treatment to end up with.
