Christmas Bargain Spa Gifts: A Guide for the Budget Oriented

Tina Bethe
Spa gifts are excellent Christmas presents and even better when they are a bargain. Women love to get gifts like this any time of the year, so why not at Christmas. With all the hustling and bustling of the holidays there's barely time to relax and a spa gift would be a perfect way to help the woman or women in your life do just that in the comfort of their own homes. The following guide will help find those spa gifts at bargain prices for Christmas this year without ever leaving home.

Bath and Body Works is one of my favorite places to shop when I want to pamper myself. They carry everything from candles to gift baskets in many different scents. Their gift sets are priced between $8.50 and $40. The Delightful Duo Collection comes in pretty clear plastic Christmas ornaments for only $8.50. The Stocking Surprise Signature Collection has two items and comes in a red or green stocking for $10. Holiday Traditions gifts come in red or green packages that have three items and also sell for $10. The small Aromatherapy gift boxes come in blue, orange, and green with three items each and sell for $12.50. The larger Aromatherapy gifts are packed in baskets with bows, have four items and sell for $25. The $40 Aromatherapy gift baskets and boxes have six items and were originally priced at $60. Spend $50 or more and shipping and handling is only $3. Bath and Body Works large variety of bargain spa gifts are perfect for any budget, but I like also like the cheap shipping and handling which is probably less than the cost of the drive to get there.

The Body Shop is another one of my personal favorites; everything they carry is natural and is made with the protection of our planet as the top priority. They are also against animal testing, support community trade, and defend human rights; all good reasons to buy bargain spa gifts from this company. The Body Shop has gifts ranging in price from $20 to $40. The Nutmeg & Vanilla Joy to Your Skin gift has five items and is in an attractive, reusable gift bag for only $20. For $24 how about the Festive Body Butter Trio, or the Totally Tropical Body Butter Trio; both are packaged in pretty gift boxes. There are several collections for $25 such as the Peppermint Foot Oasis, Almond Oil Heavenly Hands, or the Ho Ho Ho Home Fragrance Oils all in pretty gift boxes. The Well Being starter kits sell for $32, contains four items, and comes in a brown canvas bag with blue, orange, green, or lilac trim depending on the collection chosen. The Body Shop has free shipping and handling on orders of $60 or more and that alone is a bargain when you are on a budget.

Cherry Moon Farms has a great variety of bargain spa gift baskets for under $40, and all of them are beautiful. The Sweet Vanilla Orchids Spa Basket has six items including chocolates and comes in a lovely faux leather basket that would delight any woman who receives it. The price of this memorable gift is $34.99. One of my personal favorites was the Pink Ribbon Spa which comes in wire bathtub basket and contains six rose scented items for $39.99. Ten percent of the money spent on this item goes to the Komen For The Cure foundation which is why it would be money well spent. There was also a spa gift for men called Something to Pamper Him for $39.99. There are five items in a faux leather container which can be reused for personal items. Shipping and handling costs depend on where the gift is sent when it is delivered. Monday delivery is only $4.99 and the gift can be sent directly to the recipient. Any of these gifts would be well worth the money and would be remembered because the baskets are the keepsakes.

Everything Fragrant has some wonderful bargain spa gifts for under $40. The "Ageless Beauty" Spa Facial Gift Basket contains seven items for the face and bath including a bamboo candle which comes in a bamboo basket for $35.99.
