I love this treatment and want to buy gift certificates for my mom and sister for Christmas...is this something you would want to receive or does it send the wrong message? I know it is very healthy in addition to tightining and toning and thought it would be a great gift.

What can I do next?

i have tried the body wrap, however I am a little claustraphobic and have restless leg syndrome. So I didnt enjoy it very much. I would get a gift certificate to the spa but maybe not for one specific thing. Or maybe somehow find out if they are claustraphobic. But for me I was greatful for the gift but I really didnt enjoy the body wrap. Then again the lady did forget about me also so I was left in there longer than usual so maybe that could be the reason to. I had to waddle to the door and get her attention. But other than that i would love another gift certificate to the spa i just wouldnt use it for the wrap. Its a great idea

Wow are you kidding me, I would love to receive a body wrap for any gift. I have not had the pleasure of having one yet but have looked into it, maybe I can get one for Mothers Day and pay for my mom one as well. I think my mother would love the treat of a spa day and appreciate the thought.

I think that is an awesome gift idea. Think of the many health benefits of the wrap and what is does for the body.

Today is my Birthday and I should have requested a wrap instead of a wii fit. Now that I think of it, I would rather have the wrap. It's a little late now, but maybe I can get lucky.

Awesome idea I think.

I don't even like massages, so this wouldn't go over with me at all. Maybe a manicure/pedicure gc would be better.

I would depend on the type of body wrap. There are those to remove toxins and fluid build up. Some of them are more for skin care and relaxation. Some people would love something like this, but some may be very sensative to you. What I would suggest is a general spa gift certificate. That way they can pick the services they want. You could personalize it a little, but if you make it a girls day and you all go that might make it more worth while.

Good luck

As a Myomassologist, I would say just buy a general massage and bodywork gift certificate and let them decide. I have had quite a few clients that received bodywork gift certificates ask if they could have a facial instead. Some people are just not comfortable with full body treatments.

Hi D.,
Here's my take on body wraps - yuck! I think more of your family or friends would rather enjoy the massages. Body wraps are cold, uncomfortable & made me itch really bad. I ended up ill after mine & would never get another one, no matter how good it sounded. I felt like a baked potato wrapped in foil. You might want to purchase a generic certificate, letting them pick the service they would like most. Sorry for the bad wrap :)

I've never had a body wrap - but it sounds great and I'd love that as a gift! Or what about a gift certificate to a spa in case they'd prefer a pedicure or whatever. Have fun - Alison

I think we may be related, please send me this wonderful gift!!

p.s. I have never had a wrap and have always wanted to try one and I think this would be a good way for your family members to try something new, although, I do agree that a general spa gc would probably be best and you can suggest that they try the wrap.

I had a body wrap done after I was done nursing my baby. I loved the experience, but I can see where it'd be a bit uncomfortable. I bought my mom a message one year and although she enjoyed it, I know she'll never want another one...unless maybe with a women. Try feeling it out by talking about how much you love them and ask if they've ever thought about it.

Another solution. I helped my brother in law get my SIL a gift certificate to a full service salon. Our intention was for a message, so the amount reflected the message, but she ended up using it on getting her hair done and some other things. So it worked out great.

Hi D.,

You could send me a gift certificate! Where can you get one done?

I don't think it sends the wrong message, especially to your mom and sister. You could just say you love it and thought they might love it too. Now, unless you had a really wonderful and close mother-in-law, I probably wouldn't recommend giving her a gift certificate, but for your own family, I think it's a great gift!

I have never tried it, so I would love to know where and how much!

Buy them!

I think it's a great idea but not everyone would be comfortable having that done. Try bringing it up in a conversation to see if that is something they would like to do. You would hate for it to go to waste.
