Tomorrow is my birthday. My husband asked me what I want and I honestly have no idea. Well, that’s not exactly true. I WANT a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps, specifically the 100mm black patent Simple Pump, size 40. I WANT that adorable white and green Dolce and Gabbana sundress that I saw last year in the window of The Shops at Crystals in Las Vegas. But those are not even remotely going to happen. So, I’m thinking of what I want and floating around the internet when it hits me. I want a massage. I want a pedicure. I want a facial. I want a spa day. Truth be told, my toes need some help and this winter weather is doing nothing for my skin. But, mostly, I need a massage. In the last year my husband and I have packed up one house, moved into the tiniest little apartment, then moved again into our current home. Packing, unpacking, packing again, then unpacking again has killed my body. Not to mention being a veterinary technician and canine bodyworker isn’t a sit down in front of the computer kind of job.
I’m not complaining. I LOVE our new house. LOVE it. My job is also very rewarding and I love what I do. But it does take its toll on my body. Also, massage isn’t something a person tends to buy for themselves. Unless it’s necessary for health or medical reasons, massage is considered a luxury to many.
It can also be expensive and a bit of a pain. Finding a good therapist, leaving work early, getting a babysitter, fighting traffic, etc. are all obstacles that can be overwhelming and lead a person to just throw in the towel and forget all about it.
But if someone get’s you a gift certificate, all of the sudden, things change. You have this lovely golden ticket. A gift that cannot go to waste. Not only would it be rude, but that’s MONEY just going down the drain. It’s just not ok. Also, half the work is done for you. You don’t have to find the massage therapist or the money to pay for it. Yay! So that’s what I want, Honey, I want a gift certificate for a massage.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, gift certificates are available for Tranquil Tails Canine Massage as well. In case you were wondering. 😉
