A day off beats another candle
Bath sets and candles get used up in an evening. What a stressed friend, a new parent or someone who never stops actually needs is time away, with the planning already done. A relaxation experience gives them a booked afternoon where the only job is to show up.
Ideas by how they unwind
For soakers, hot springs days at places like Iron Mountain Hot Springs are the easiest yes; our guide to the best hot springs in Colorado has more. For movers, a goat yoga class is calm and very hard to stay serious through. For water lovers, a sunset sail, a champagne cruise or a glow paddle at dusk is quiet time on the water. Browse health and wellness for more ways to slow down.
Picking the right relaxation gift
Think about where they feel calm. Some people need warm water and nowhere to be; others relax by moving gently outdoors. Use the location filter to find something within an easy drive, because a relaxation gift that needs a long trip stops being relaxing.
Sending it
E-gifts arrive by email instantly or on the date you choose. Vouchers never expire and can be swapped for another experience. If you are not sure what would help them unwind, a Spur gift card lets them choose. For other personalities, see gifts for explorers and foodies, or gifts for mom.
