  7. Day at the Spa. A day at the spa can be beneficial to someone who has a holistic approach to life. You'll find the movements, lotions, oils and sounds to contribute to their health and wellness, and the different pressure points and touches aid in the way the body feels and responds to the touch.

You can grant that special someone with their own personalized spa day with a basket containing a few favorites. Items included in the gift basket can include massage oils, sugar scrubs, facial products, soaps and bath salts. You can save the planet by surrounding them in soft and luxuriant bath towels and wash cloths.
