February is Valentine’s Day month, and many people are trying to figure out the perfect romantic, relaxing gifts. At Essential Massage Therapy in NJ, we know massage, but we also know relaxation! Read on to find out our favorite romantic, relaxing gifts for your significant other.

The Gift of Time. Have a loved one who is strapped for time, always exhausted, or just too busy? Find a way to give them some time back! This might mean waking up extra early to do the chores he always does, picking up the kids to give her an afternoon off, or even something as simple as running the car over for a fill up when the tank is running low. When you take care of these daily living tasks, you give your Valentine some time back to relax.

The Gift of Activity. Tired of commercialism? Spice up this Valentine’s Day with an exciting activity that you and your significant other will both love! From dedicated “romantic” events to revisiting that dive bar where you first met and the diner you ate at the next day, use this little holiday as an excuse to do something!

The Gift of Self-Care. If your loved one puts it all out there for everyone else, but never has time for himself or herself, consider a self-care gift. This can be anything from a gym membership, to a wellness package with her favorite massage therapist in New Jersey, to a month worth of Saturday matinee movie passes. Whatever your partner uses to recharge, put those tools right there in their hand!

The Gift of Nostalgia. Instead of buying new things, make the old new again! Give your partner something they never thought they would see again, such as scouring the internet for a favorite sweatshirt or stuffed animal, bring the past to life by converting old photos into a convenient digital photo frame, or bring out the kid in your partner by refurbishing an old video game console. Most importantly, your partner will love the effort you have put into the gift and the relationship.

While taking care of your significant other, don’t forget to care for yourself as well! Massage is even better when you both get one, and many of these gifts are a great reminder to care for your own health and wellbeing as well. Essential Massage Therapy in Sparta sells gift cards and wellness packages to help you get the most out of your wellness journey, and for the month of February, they are offering $20 off a 1-hour massage!
