Is this a rubbish present?

[Darmody]

I'm useless at buying presents, so need some advice. My DP has been going on for ages about 'really needing' a particular health and beauty treatment at a local salon. I've found out how much this costs and was going to buy a voucher for this place to that amount with a bit extra.

I've bought other bits and pieces but this would be the 'main' present - I can't decide if this is a rubbish present (as it's a voucher, which is usually a no-no for DPs) or if it would be welcome. Any thoughts?

i'd love that, rather than a load of shit you bought that i didn't need or want...

If your DP has been hinting for ages then its a really thoughtful present.

I think it's a great present. More so seeing that that is what they have 'kind of' asked for ;)

If that's what they'd enjoy then go for it. What hod said.

I dunno.

Is it a relaxation experience or an anti-ugliness treatment?

A massage is nice. No one wants to wake up on Xmas morning to a voucher for an upper lip wax.

If I'd been going on for ages about needing a treatment and DH got me a voucher for it, I'd be delighted!

Always take heed of the hints.

Sounds nice to me :)

Oh dear, saucyjack has thrown a spanner into the works - I'd agree there with saucy - it's not a bikini wax or some such torture disguised as a "beauty treatment"?

Sounds like your DP has been dropping hints in the hope you'll do just that. If it were me I'd much prefer something like that than some wrapped tat I didn't ask for.

Is it a relaxation experience or an anti-ugliness treatment?

It's very much the first one!!

No I don't think its rubbish at all . Sounds like something she wants so ideal you buying a voucher.

If its a relaxation type thing and they've been hinting about it, then it's great. Dh did this for me the first christmas after having DD. I loved him so much for it!

Why are vouchers a no-no for DPs? Ive bought my DH a voucher for a new pair running trainers this year as hes doing a marathon next year, he will get professionally fitted for them rather me just grabbing whatever I see in a sports shop!

I think if it's at a really nice salon and it's a treat he/she could not usually justify spending out on for themselves but have said they'd like to have then I think it's a great present.

Lovely present especially if you cheerfully look after any small children you may have while she goes for the treatment

If this is for a DH and it's a 'particularly relaxing treatment' he's 'really needed' for ages then maybe be careful with adding 'a bit extra' onto it... we have some of those massage places near us...

(kidding - sounds like a great idea)

blackcherries 😂😂

Sounds like a great idea to me!

If it's something DP wants then it's an excellent present .

I'd really love that. Hoping my DH gets me something similar actually.

If you're my partner and are referring to the hints I keep dropping about getting a massage, please buy me the voucher. And maybe kne for afternoon tea with prosecco afterwards.

I'm assuming it's just a gift voucher for that particular health/beauty place and doesn't specify "upper lip wax" or the like in that case I think it's a brilliant present.

As he's been talking about it I'm sure he'll find it to be a great gift! Perhaps something he can't justify spending on himself
