Gifting
Buying for someone who has everything, or who never gets round to treating themselves, is one of the harder gifting puzzles. A spa gift solves it neatly: no clutter, no sizes to guess, and an appointment to look forward to. This guide helps you choose the right kind of Artisa Spa gift and explains how vouchers work, so there are no surprises for you or the person receiving it.
Why a spa gift works for almost anyone
A spa gift is really a gift of time. It suits a parent, a partner, a colleague, a friend who’s had a hard year. It’s personal without being complicated, and the recipient chooses when to enjoy it.
Choose a format: open value or a named treatment
Digital e-gift voucher (open value). Choose an amount (currently £49, £75, £99, £150, £200 or £300), buy it online, and it arrives by email with a voucher code. The recipient puts it towards whatever they like: a massage, a facial, waxing, a course or anything else on our menu. Ideal when you’re not sure what they’d choose, or when you need a gift quickly.
Physical gift card (open value or a named treatment). Bought in person at the spa. A named-treatment card is lovely when you know exactly what they’d enjoy, such as a 60-minute massage or a particular facial. If the price of that treatment goes up before they use it, the card still covers it in full.
Either way, each voucher is for the person it’s made out to, and lasts 12 months from purchase.
Gift ideas by occasion
Birthdays. A voucher lets them build their own birthday visit; a named treatment feels more personal. Someone who loves to be looked after might enjoy a massage and a facial on the same visit (that combination is 10% off when booked together).
Mother’s Day. Many mums rarely book anything for themselves. A voucher removes the guesswork; a named facial or massage feels chosen with care. Appointments around Mother’s Day can be popular, so suggest booking early.
Anniversaries. A relaxing massage or a facial before a night out both work well. Two people can have treatments at the same time, in separate rooms, so a voucher each makes a shared occasion of it.
Christmas. Easy to give, never the wrong size, and something to look forward to in the quieter weeks of the new year. Digital vouchers arrive by email, so they work for last-minute gifts too.
Hen parties and celebrations with friends. A spa visit can be a calm addition to a hen do. Individual vouchers are the simplest option. For a group visit, contact us to talk through timings.
Teams and clients. Buying several vouchers for staff or clients? Get in touch and we’ll help you choose suitable values.
Just because. Sometimes the best gift has no occasion at all.
A few treatments worth suggesting
- Deep Tissue Massage, for someone who carries tension in their shoulders and back.
- Swedish Massage or Hot Stone Massage, for pure relaxation.
- A facial, from the 30-minute Express Facial to a 60-minute Gold or Diamond Facial.
- A Hollywood or Brazilian Wax, for someone who already knows what they like.
How vouchers work
- Buying: digital vouchers online from our gift vouchers page; physical cards at the spa.
- Using: online when booking, or at reception. Vouchers can be used for treatments, courses and bookings with a discount applied.
- Part use: if they don’t spend it all at once, the balance stays on the voucher until it expires. If the booking costs more, they pay the difference.
- Validity: 12 months from the date of purchase. If something exceptional gets in the way, they can ask us before the expiry date and we may extend it at our discretion.
- Points: you, the buyer, earn Artisa Points on the purchase.
