Give Mom the Ultimate Gift of Relaxation This Mother’s Day
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Moms only get one official day of the year, but everyday can be Mother’s Day at the spa. Spas are rolling out the red carpet to offer gifts, packages and specialized treatments just for her. While moms are responsible for introducing many of us to the spa experience, it’s time to give her a much needed and well deserved time-out.
If you’re not sure what kind of treatment your mom might like there’s no need to worry since you can buy her a spa gift card. Mom will be proud of your savvy spending since gift cards are being discounted by 35 percent of spas, and 29 percent will give you a free gift card when you purchase one for yourself.
Some mom’s have a tendency not to take that important “me time,” so Mother’s Day offers the perfect excuse for you to show her what she’s missing. The No.1 reason people go to the spa is to reduce and relieve stress, and the spa is the perfect place to go to learn how to manage stress, eat healthy and begin a wellness routine. The sooner you get her to the spa the better since the World Health Organization is reporting that by 2020 the top five diseases will all be stress-related. Make your gift one your mom will remember this year by giving her a stress-free day at the spa.
“Mother’s Day is the perfect time to introduce your mom to the spa lifestyle,” said ISPA President Lynne McNees. “Spas highlight packages during this time of year that help mother’s everywhere take a time out to relax. In fact, 44 percent of U.S. spas offer packages for couples, 14 percent offer treatments aimed at seniors and 42 percent have pregnancy packages for new moms.”
