WWYD - shall I keep the free gift or give it to my CM?

I ordered a pedicure gift voucher for my CM's birthday present at a local beauty salon. The bloke I spoke to took money off my credit card but didn't send out the voucher so it didn't arrive in time for my CM's birthday. I rang up and spoke to someone different who sent it out the next day registered post. She included another voucher for a facial as an apology. So my dilemma is this - shall I give both vouchers to my CM? Or keep the facial one for myself? It's the sort of thing I would never spend money on myself so I'm tempted to indulge.

I do like my CM - she's a bit bossy sometimes (is an older lady) but is very flexible around times etc and has been looking after my DS for 18 months or so and always buys him a birthday/xmas present. WWYD??

I would keep it myself I think.

Why should you give it to your cm?

Neither is the 'right' answer, so you can enjoy it yourself, or enjoy passing it on.

keep it for yourself!

If you used a credit card that gave you points or cashback you wouldn't give these to the CM would you? This is just a transactional perk, much like the mini box of chocs sometimes given away with the big box!

Oh keep it for yourself

Okay I am persuaded Apparently it's a good thing to do before a night out. Now I just need to get one of those sorted

Do it the day or 2 before as it can bring spots out and you don't want those on your night out.

Cheers for the advice fab. I think the next proper night out is going to happen in ... don't know - I shall have to organise something to make the most of it (which will cost more than the bloody free facial )
