The holiday season is upon us, and there’s something deeply meaningful about giving the gift of relaxation. For those in the Destin and Fort Walton Beach area — or anyone visiting this beautiful stretch of the Emerald Coast — a massage gift card from A Day Away Massage & Spa makes for one of the most thoughtful and versatile gifts you can give.
Whether you’re shopping for a spouse, parent, friend, coworker, or even yourself, it’s time to skip the typical holiday gifts and give something everyone truly appreciates: the experience of peace, rest, and renewal.
Why a Massage Gift Card Stands Out
1. Everyone needs a moment to recharge.
Between the stress of shopping, travel, and packed holiday schedules, everyone deserves a little time to unwind. A massage offers deep relaxation, improved circulation, and a reset for both body and mind.
2. It’s flexible and personal.
A Day Away gift cards can be used toward any massage service, so your recipient can choose what suits them best — whether they want gentle relaxation or focused tension relief.
3. It supports local wellness.
When you buy a gift card from a local spa, you’re supporting small business and keeping your money in the community. A Day Away Massage & Spa has proudly served the Mary Esther / Fort Walton Beach area for over a decade.
4. It’s an experience they’ll remember.
Unlike material gifts that lose their novelty, a massage leaves lasting effects — better mood, looser muscles, and a clearer mind.
Massage Experiences to Choose From
When you purchase a gift card, the recipient can choose from a wide range of massage styles and techniques, each offering its own unique benefits:
-
Swedish Massage – Gentle, flowing strokes for overall relaxation.
-
Deep Tissue Massage – Focused pressure to release chronic tension and tight muscles.
-
Hot Stone Massage – Warm stones combined with massage to melt away stress.
-
Prenatal Massage – A soothing treatment designed specifically for expectant mothers.
-
Himalayan Salt Stone Massage – Combines the warmth of salt stones with natural mineral benefits.
-
Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Gentle, rhythmic massage to support detoxification and circulation.
-
OsteoThai Floor Massage – A unique blend of assisted stretching and deep bodywork performed on a mat.
Every massage at A Day Away Massage & Spa is customized to meet individual needs and preferences.

How to Present Your Gift
Make your massage gift card extra special with a personal note. Here are a few thoughtful message ideas to include:
-
“Wishing you a peaceful holiday season. This is your time to relax.”
-
“You deserve a little ‘day away.’ Enjoy this moment of calm and renewal.”
-
“For all that you do, take a break and let someone else take care of you for a change.”
Pair your gift card with a small token — perhaps a candle, a handwritten card, or a cozy blanket — for a simple yet heartfelt presentation.
Tips to Help Your Recipients
Encourage your recipient to:
-
Book early during the holidays — sessions fill up fast!
-
Choose the massage style that best fits their needs or ask their therapist for a recommendation.
-
Make it a ritual — many clients return monthly or seasonally for continued self-care and stress relief.
Even just one massage can help reset the nervous system, improve sleep, and ease holiday tension, but making it a routine offers even deeper benefits.
