‘Tis the season for giving! At the Institute of Beauty and Wellness, an Aveda Institute, we are beyond ready for the holiday season. There are so many ways to show your spirit for the holiday season, including small little gifts to friends and loved ones to show appreciation. This year, the trend is all about giving from the heart. More and more people are choosing not to go crazy on the presents, but instead give small gifts to show that they care—including hand-made presents, quality time, and acts of love.
As a service provider, this is easy for you! Gift your friends and family members a massage, haircut, manicure, or facial from yourself to help them feel relaxed, balanced, and refreshed going into the new year. There are so many ways to provide care and a moment of wellness to your loved ones that will leave just as much of an impact as presents. Of course, we all enjoy opening up gifts during the holidays—which is why we have provided you with a list of super easy and small gifts to give in addition to your acts of service and other gift types!
