Many people often come home from a long work day tired and in pain from daily tension and stress. For that reason, many people are exploring the therapy that a massage technician can provide. These personnel are becoming invaluable service personnel. Once a good massage therapist is found, it is a good idea to reward him regularly. Christmas is a very good time to say "Thank you."

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Purchase her some essential oils. Whether they choose to use them in their shop or save them for home, massage therapists will appreciate essential oils of almost any variety. Best of all, the gift isn't expensive. You can control the price based on the type and number of oils purchased. Essential oils can be purchased at a local health or discount department store.

  2. Step 2

    Send him a plant, preferably something green that will thrive without much light. A Christmas cactus is a great option.

  3. Step 3

    Buy her a plaque with the Massage Therapist's Prayer in crystal and wood. Web-Boulevard has several options to choose from, and the price varies depending upon the model chosen.

  4. Step 4

    Purchase healing crystals. Many massage therapists believe in other natural homeopathic treatments as well. Crystal therapy is just one of many. Even if the gift is just a single crystal that he can wear around his neck, he will greatly appreciate the thought.

  5. Step 5

    Give her a healing hands money clip from Kyle Design. These engraved clips are made from brass with a silvertone or goldtone finish. You also get to choose the enameling background color.

  6. Step 6

    Make him a basket of goodies. Whether it is cookies, candy, fruit or a combination thereof, he will appreciate the thought as well as the food.

  7. Step 7

    Tip her. If you don't normally tip your masseuse, Christmas time is the perfect time to make up for that. If you normally do tip, then give her something more for the occasion. Holiday tips for service personnel generally range between three and five times a normal tip.

  8. Step 8

    Buy him one or two magazine subscriptions. His customers will appreciate them as much as he will. The cost will vary depending upon the magazines chosen.

  9. Step 9

    Have her serenaded. Many barbershop quartets or choirs hire themselves out for the holidays. They will go into a place of business and sing the songs you have picked out especially for the service person.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try to personalize the gift chosen to the individual as much as possible. Wrap the gift thoughtfully. Include a card with a handwritten note. Deliver the gift yourself rather than having it dropped off or delivered by someone else.
  • Stay away from gifts with a religious connotation.
