You may have been surprised at the price of spa days, for a days stay in a luxury venue with food included and an overnight stay can cost upwards of £500 and make great Christmas gifts. This cost is somewhat extortionate when you consider that additional treatments like hot stone massages or a health massage require further outlay. I live in West Sussex and there is an excellent Spa in a small village not to far from me, I thought this would be the perfect venue for my girlfriend to have a relaxing, rejuvenating experience away from all the stresses and strains of everyday life.
In fact what happened was that I began to feel the strain when I saw the prices! This put me in a tricky situation as I had my heart set on buying her a spa experience, I could not however afford even the cheapest day pass which was around £200 or £175 if brought as Christmas gift vouchers. What to do then? An excellent tip I would give to anyone in a similar situation would be to visit last minute.com, this website offers a number of unbeatable deals on activities like spa days, the only downside is that you must use the voucher within days of purchase.
This means that if buying such an experience for someone, they must go immediately, therefore it is best to do this when you know they have holiday from work, or even better, subtly suggest that they take holiday! It would also be suitable if you wish to ‘sweep her off her feet’ women love spontaneity and what could be better than being whisked off to a plush hotel to be pampered and waited on hand and foot for a day? There are always ways to get things more cheaply than they appear on the company site, you just need to do a bit of research.
