These gifts won’t be forgotten in the attic or stuffed in the basement only to be found next holiday season.
A Facial at Farida Skin Studio $150
Healthy and glowing skin is one of the best gifts you can give. Your giftee will melt away into relaxation mode while a professional scrubs and exfoliates away the unnecessary junk their skin has been holding onto. With multiple options for various needs, Farida Skin Studio will pamper your loved one from head to toe.
Permanent Jewelry at Auburn Range from $75–$135
Nothing is worse than jewelry returned to stores after the holidays. A gift card to Auburn Jewelry not only allows the receiver to pick the style, but it’s permanent, so they never have to worry about taking it off or losing it.
Jacob Burns Film Center Membership $220
Give your film buff friend the gift they really want this winter while supporting a local institution. The Film Buff tier entitles them to a $5 discount on 1 (individual) or 2 (dual) tickets, at least 10% discount off concessions, now including beer and wine, complimentary ticket offers for screenings and events, and free popcorn on Wednesdays, plus more. What else could a cinephile need in life?
A Massage at The Opus Spa $179
Melt away the stress this time of year that builds up in the body with a massage at The Opus’ award-winning spa. A gift someone will seldom buy for themselves, give them a moment of respite amid the chaos because while you can’t buy happiness, you can buy them 60 minutes of peace.
Thrive Barre & Fitness Membership $249/month
While Thrive is a place for exercise, this is not a gift that parallels the “Peloton-gift-hostage-commercial” we saw a few holiday seasons ago. Instead, a membership at Thrive is as good for the soul as it is for your muscles and getting fit and practicing self-care go hand in hand under the same roof.
