Wrap Up Self-care

There’s something magical about giving. Whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, an anniversary or a special thank you, it feels good to let someone know you care with more than just words.

But finding something memorable can be a stress-inducing ordeal. We search and search for the perfect gift. Anxiety builds. It takes precious time and energy. You want the gift to count and be treasured.

Research shows that people tend to be happier when they receive gifts involving experiences rather than material things. Gifting an experience like a cooking class, a day at the spa, a special outing, or a private chef’s dinner creates lasting memories without the clutter.

Experiences can be shared and that strengthens bonds and essentially makes life memorable and happy. They light up our brain in ways that generic items don’t. They bring us joy, novelty, laughter and love. That gives us better stories to tell and conversations to share.

A meaningful experience, like a wellness retreat at Ste. Anne’s Spa enhances our sense of connection and belonging, boosting our well-being too. Spending time and money on others can actually lower blood pressure and enhance cardiovascular health, reports science.

So, if you’re going to put your heart and time into finding great gifts for your loved ones, you might as well make it count. Self-care experiences show that you care and will be genuinely loved, used and needed.

The presence of being present is the best gift of all and easy with a gift card for a visit to our all-inclusive destination spa. Give an unforgettable day away of shared wellness activities, including a soothing spa treatment, a dip in our hydrotherapy pools and afternoon tea. An overnight experience will delight any recipient – wrap up some amazing calm and nourish their mind, body and soul with delicious seasonal dining and the comfiest of beds.

Come be together and experience the gift of something outside of the day-to-day norm. Gather for an intimate meal, followed by warm conversation around the spa cottage fireplace. Fun times make for the best of stories and stories are what we hold on to. They’re shared, bonding and become part of who we are.

If it can’t be our time, wrap up some heartfelt me time. A solo visit for that special someone is a conscious healing gift that sends the message that you care. Our cozy inn rooms will soothe all the senses and lift spirits. A massage, scrub or a wrap will be so appreciated. They’ll leave recharged and energized – and thankful for your thoughtfulness.

We have so much wellness to wrap up for any gift-giving occasion, including bridal showers and weddings. Spend a little or a lot – it’s always the right size and suited for every personality.

So, gift stories with shared times at Ste. Anne’s Spa. Be present, in the moment and wrap someone in a hug and magical memories. Your memories 20 years from now will thank you.
