Gift Guide to Yourself
Nickels, it has been a long time. I last wrote you in September to share details about my trip to Barbados back in July. However, the holiday season is a upon us and I thought as your self proclaimed satisfied single it would be a good idea to share some gift guide inspiration for gifts to YOURSELF. I have reviewed my credit card statements and amazon purchases over the course of the year to curate a list of some of the best gifts to gift yourself this year. So, let’s get started!
- The first recommendation on my list is a Spa day. Below are links to a few spas I have visited this year and one I plan to visit in the near future.
- Omni Nail Spa in Glenn Mills: I hosted a spa party at this establishment earlier this year to celebrate womanhood with a few of my closest girlfriends. This nail spa has 2 other locations including one in Philadelphia. Their prices are reasonable and they have great customer care which includes one complimentary beverage. Also, they are able to accommodate small private events as well as larger semi-private events during their business hours. I had a semi-private event and was able to bring my own refreshments to set up on their large granite countertop. They were able to accommodate my photo station too! http://www.omnianailspa.com
- Four Seasons Spa in Center City: I had a birthday massage at this spa earlier this year. I enjoyed the massage but most of all I enjoyed the ambiance. Upon completion of my 60 minute spa treatment I was permitted to chill in their relation room for as long as I liked where I was greeted with an assortment of healthy snacks and champaign while overlooking the center city skyline. In addition, the birthday package came with an added service selection, birthday gift, and healing crystals. This gift option is pretty pricey but hey, you have to treat yourself, right?https://www.fourseasons.com/philadelphia/spa/
- Hershey Melt Spa: I visited Hershey for the first time back in October and it was a great weekend getaway in general. There are tons of activities even for a person riding solo like myself. While there I visited the Melt Spa for a Hershey Chocolate body scrub. That was my first ever scrub and I must say it was amazing. It left my skin feeling so smooth and soft. I highly recommend scrubs at least once a year to shed your dead skin. Also, it is an affordable way to enjoy a spa day other than the traditional massage. https://www.meltspa.com
- Sojo Spa in New Jersey: Unfortunately I was unable to make arrangements to visit this spa this year. Every time I was ready to make reservations for this spa something came up but it is definitely on the list for next year. From what I hear this Spa offers a great set of amenities such as pool baths, saunas, lounges, food and a plethora of spa treatments to choose from. Also, from the pictures I have seen there is a beautiful poolside view overlooking the NY city skyline. https://www.sojospaclub.com/explore/
2. My next recommendation are silk pillow cases. I actually gifted the below mentioned pillow cases as favors at the nail spa party I hosted earlier this year and they were a huge hit! As a woman who grew up sleeping in silk scarfs to protect my hair I have quickly learned that silk pillowcases are a game changer for wild sleepers like myself. I usually fall asleep with a scarf and wake up to bed head. However, since using my silk pillowcases I have been able to maintain the healthy shine of my hair, like I said, game changer. These pillow cases are very comfortable and offer a huge health benefit. Below are links to the 2 silk pillow cases I have purchased for myself and others this year.
3. If you are a music lover like myself this next nic pick is for you, Bose audio products! Where do I begin? I was first introduced to Bose audio products in 2018. I was frustrated with purchasing cheap headphones every 2 months so I finally decided to splurge on quality headphones and after tons of research I landed on Bose. It is now 2021 and I still have my very first pair of Bose headphones which at time only cost $49. The value of those Bose headphones have tripled since then but even so, I must say they are worth their value. The aux jack of my first pair of headphones were distorted from being bent into an airplane jack. Also, they have been accidentally washed and the wiring is frayed yet those things are still kicking! I have since purchased Bose Around Ear wireless headphones and a Bose Bluetooth Speaker. The product’s sound is incomparable to any other headsets or speakers I have owned. Also, Bose offers a pretty decent warranty. I find that products backed by good warranties are often quality products. Click Bose to check out their product line and do not be afraid to scurry over to the refurbished products section for some additional cost savings. Their refurbished products are backed by their same standard warranty.
4. I discovered this next pick on a family vlog I follow on YouTube and I thought it was such a unique gift for those who love to entertain or enjoy a nice cocktail every once in a while. It is the Bartesian Premium Cocktail Machine and it is the coolest invention since single serve coffee makers. It is a bit on the pricey side but if you were to calculate the cost of a nice cocktail at a bar or the cost of paying a bartender for an evening of entertainment then you will quickly realize the Bartesian is indeed worth its value. It is the perfect mixologists and is able to make a variety of drinks from a margarita to a Long Island ice tea. Click Bartesian to check it out for yourself.
5. Last but not least give yourself flowers while you are still here or should I say a snake plant OR a dried flower arrangement. Both are low to no maintenance and look very lovely with any home aesthetic. Below are the links to a great dried flower arrangement and a plant.
