Take Some Me-Time

Treat Yourself to a

Spa Experience

Spa treatments are associated with luxury, indulgence and pampering. So, it is no wonder that spa vouchers are among the most popular gift vouchers on Bob Shop, both among women and men. It is estimated that about 30 percent of clients in South African spas are men. More and more spas are putting an effort to appeal to both men as women.

Before you decide to give the gift of a spa voucher to a loved one or to yourself, do read the seller’s terms and conditions. Most vouchers can not be returned or exchanged. They are usually valid for six months from the date of purchase and are subject to booking availability.

Typically, you can choose a full day or a half-day spa programme, as well as specific treatments.

Some of the popular spa treatments are:

• Facials
• Pedicures and manicures
• Hand and foot scrubs
• Body exfoliation
• Mud therapies and various wraps
• Massages (full-body or partial)
• Steam sauna
• Baths (mineral, salt, Japanese, etc.)
• Waterfall shower
• Waxing

Whether you opt for a full day or half day package, you have the right to:

• Bask in the impeccable cleanliness
• Enjoy the  beautiful interior design 
• Have the benefit of great service
• Stop a treatment at any time, for any reason.

You as a client also need to be aware of basic spa etiquette, in particular:

• Don’t be late
• Switch off your cell phone

Main benefits of going to a spa:

• An immediate sense of calm
• Feeling refreshed and reinvigorated
• Increased awareness of your body
• Better looks

Most spas have couple’s or group packages, which are a great way to spend some quality time with your partner, friends or family. Some also offer full use of their facilities for one hour before and one hour after the treatment. It is a good idea to arrive early in order to take full advantage of those facilities and to put some distance between you and the stresses and strains of everyday life. And after the treatments, stay in the relaxation area, to read a book or a magazine and perhaps enjoy a cup of tea in a quiet relaxing atmosphere before plunging again into the busy world outside.
