Massage Away Her Tension

Want to be a hero?

One of the best gifts for her, whether she is a high powered executive or a high powered stay at home mom is a massage chair. There are several models that go from the compact to the large and in charge, but a massage chair in your bedroom where she can get away from it all is the gift that keeps on giving.

Pair it with a foot bath and some peppermint foot cream, or maybe one of those eye masks you can stick in the microwave or the freezer (depending on the mood) and you have a recipe for relaxation!

When you surprise her with a gift like this, make sure you put it someplace where she can really enjoy it (i.e. QUIET) and set the mood with music and candles. The ambiance and your generosity are sure to be a big hit.

De-stress Dad

De-stress your dad with a relaxing father's day gift like a gift certificate for a massage. Better yet, hire a masseuse that will come to your house!

Dad's don't always go in for the luxury stuff, and they should. Mom's and Dad's work really hard to take care of kids and support everyone and they both deserve pampering. You can even make a gift like this longer lasting by also grabbing a massager for your dad.

Maybe the masseuse will even give him tips on how to use it for maximum effectiveness on his back muscles. When you combine and experience with something thoughtful that will last, you truly create a memorable and unique gift for him.

Do Your Re-Con

When you are trying to come up with a gift for her, whether "her" is your wife, mom, daughter, sister or friend, don't panic. Think about what she really enjoys when no one is watching - not the typical stuff - do some re-con.

* Watch what she reads and figure out her favorite authors.
* See what she eats when she is stressed out (a popular time for favorite or comfort foods)
* Listen to the music she put on when she doesn't think you are around
* Listen to what she dreams of doing to relax

Maybe the answer is something like a tempur-pedic pillow, to help her make a night's sleep into a truly relaxing event, or maybe the answer is a gift certificate to her favorite shoe store.

Even if you need something inexpensive, a soft cover book is usually less than $10.00. Think decadent and try your hardest to come up with a unique gift that she would otherwise never get for herself.
