Hello there. I know there has been so many advises about christmas gifts for gilfriends. I am stuck on the message part. I am just woundering what is the going rate for a hour massage and what do they include?
I already got her a neckless worth $200 thats shaped as a heart. We are engaged. We are suppose to get married this coming up September. We have been together for 3 years. I am 24 and she is 22.
It gets harder and harder every year. Any Suggestions?? I dont wanna do the basket because i did it last year. Thank you

At the mall there's a store, it's an oriental store, that has globes in various colors - why don't you give her the world? She sounds special and you sound very nice. let me know if you ever are single!!! Merry Christmas

Personally, I'd love for my hubby to get me a massage, as opposed to a message. ;-) But, I'd say that if you've already gotten her a $200 necklace, you don't really need to buy her anything else, especially if you're going to have to go into debt to buy it. The best gifts are not those that are the most expensive, but those that come from the heart, at least that's what I've always thought. I've never felt that my husband should have to get me a "better/more expensive" gift each year, and your fiancee shouldn't feel that way either. There are some years (like this one) where my hubby and I probably won't really get each other anything, because we're finishing the basement in our house, and our oldest daughter is starting college next fall.
Don't get into the trap propogated by the media that you have to buy your loved one the biggest, baddest diamond and the ultimate spa package with dinner at a 5 star restaurant.
But, if you really feel you have to get her more than the necklace, I'd say just get her a gift certificate at a local day spa. You can call around to find out the different prices, here in Kansas City they'll range from $50-$100 an hour. I'd imagine Southern California would be slightly higher. Good luck.

Rates and inclusions are going to vary greatly. Therefore make sure you do your research. Spending a few hours on line checking out what's in your area will be well worth it. On the day of the massage throw in some extras like breakfast in bed and share a glass of wine you paired with some nice fruits and cheeses when she gets home burning the same scented candle her massage therapist did (call before she gets there so you can pick it up during her treatment) Centering the whole day around her total relaxation will make it a gift she will never forget. It has the added benefit of raising the bar for what she'll get you when the next opportunity arises!

First of all it's massage not message. I'm only correcting you because I am a certified massage therapist. But yea that would be great. I would get a gift certificate to a spa or maybe for a couples massage.
In reference to your second question, the best type of massage would be Hot stone massage with essential oils and maybe raindrop therapy added in. Very relaxing and soothing. Is you don't know what these therapies are call a spa they will inform you. Or you can email me @ charityduv21@yahoo.com

ooh, a massage! Women love massages. The going rate for a really good spa is about $200 which includes a package of a specific massage (swedish, japanese, etc.), facial, and mud spa for the body. I think any women would love to be pampered. If you run out of ideas, I say you take her on a trip w/ a nice view and give her something that you made (an art piece, a song, whatever your talents might be). Good luck w/ the marriage too!

Are you talking about a word "message" or a lie down and get your body "massaged" by a licensed "massage therapist"? If the latter, then in my area, a one hour session goes for $60-75 plus a $10-$15 tip. My advice would be to call up one of her friends, or her hairdressing place, or gym, or the local ballet (pain!) and ask if they can recommend a place and get her a $100 gift certificate there.
