Birthday Spa Gift Near San Mateo

Load enough for one complete session, so nobody has to top it up at the front desk. These five amounts line up with real bookings on the menu.

Sixty minutes is the length we suggest for a first visit. The Signature Massage comes with hot towels and a hot compress, and hot stones and cupping are optional at no additional charge. The same amount books a 60 minute Deep Tissue Massage for someone who likes firm pressure, or a Swedish Massage for someone who wants it slower and lighter.

Ninety minutes covers the whole body and still leaves real time for the shoulders or the lower back. It suits the person who likes massage but never books long enough for themselves.

A 60 minute Couples Massage: two tables, two therapists, one private room. Give it to a couple, or to the birthday person with the understanding that they bring someone along. Our couples massage gift card page covers the longer couples lengths and how to book two therapists at once.

Sixty minutes of Prenatal Massage for a friend who is expecting. The section further down covers what they should check before they book it.

The card holds a balance rather than a voucher for one treatment. Put part of the cost on it and they pay the rest at the desk, or load more than one session costs and they keep the remainder for next time.

Yes. The Square order form has a Delivery date field that starts on today, sent instantly; change it to the birthday and the card arrives on that date instead. You can buy it a week early, the evening you remember, and it still turns up on time. If you only remembered this morning, the instant spa gift card page covers the same-day version.

Delivery goes by text or by email, so a mobile number is enough when you do not have their inbox. There is an optional personal message field for the birthday note. If you would rather hand it over in person, choose to send the card to yourself, print it and tuck it inside a birthday card.

Yes. Choose Group gift card on the Square order form and several contributors pool money onto one card for one recipient. It suits an office birthday or a group of friends where nobody wants to cover the whole amount, and it puts a 90 minute session or a couples booking within reach. Square's For multiple people option runs the other way, sending separate cards to several people at once, which helps when a few birthdays land in the same month.

Square offers 4 preset amounts, and each lines up with a real booking here with a little left over. Anything left stays on the balance, and under California Civil Code section 1749.5 a gift card balance under $15 can be redeemed in cash.

For a birthday that falls close to the holidays, our Christmas spa gift card page covers the December timing.

Load the card for a Prenatal Massage rather than a general one: 60 minutes, or 90 minutes at $159. The session is worked side-lying and propped with pillows, at light to medium pressure, and our prenatal massage page walks through what happens in the room.

The person who is pregnant books it, after a word with their doctor or midwife. Cleveland Clinic names 3 situations that should send someone to their provider first: gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and any pregnancy complication. A gift card suits that well, because nothing is booked until they have asked.

The same care applies to a parent or grandparent on blood thinners or recovering from surgery. NCCIH rates the risk of harm from massage as low overall and records 3 rare serious problems — a blood clot, a nerve injury and a bone fracture — so a quick check with their clinician comes before the booking.

Wherever the birthday is, San Mateo or Redwood City, the card is redeemed at one studio: 1658 El Camino Real, San Carlos, CA 94070, about 10 to 15 minutes down El Camino Real or 101 from downtown San Mateo. Street parking on El Camino Real is free, and the door reads By Appointment, Walk-ins Welcome. Our lymphatic drainage massage near San Mateo page has the drive and the lymphatic side of the menu in more detail.

From downtown Redwood City the trip is shorter, 5 to 10 minutes north on the same street, and the massage gift card for Redwood City page covers that side. If the birthday person would rather have a facial than a full massage, the facial spa near San Mateo page explains the two combinations that include one, such as Lymphatic Drainage + Lymphatic Facial.

All our therapists are fully CAMTC-certified and licensed by the California Massage Therapy Council, and we keep the certificates on hand. The map and weekly hours are on the contact page.

Yes. Harbor Wellness Massage sells it directly through Square, and it is spent only here. The FTC separates two kinds of card: a retail gift card works only at the business that sells it, while a bank gift card carries a network logo such as Visa or American Express. Ours is a retail card, redeemed only at our front desk.

Whether you call it a massage gift certificate or an eGift card, California makes it unlawful to sell one with an expiration date or a service fee. Federal rules set a lower bar: the CFPB notes that a card cannot be sold to expire in under 5 years and cannot carry inactivity fees for the first 12 months. The CFPB also suggests giving the receipt and the terms along with the card, which is easy when the printed card sits inside a birthday card.
