Give the Gift of Relaxation - Salon Society local gift guide for sustainable holidays 

Give the Gift of Relaxation

 

Massage 

Give the gift of massage with a gift certificate or by pre-booking a treatment. Massage is one of those quintessential relaxation gifts and we would have been remiss to have left it off! Book with Dani at Salon Society or your fave local massage therapist. 

 

Facial & Skin Care

We are huge fans of luxurious skin care treatments and theCustom Facial offered by Hope, Alex, and Dani is a seriously amazing relaxation experience featuring steamy towels, two masks, and a heavenly scalp massage. 

Similarly, give the gift of home skincare!Dermalogica has a great range of gift sets and incredible products that bring the relaxation home - home spa day anyone? 

 

Blowout Club Membership 

Give the gift of stunning hair for 30 days - theseSASO Blowout Memberships really spoil you with VIP treatment! You commit to one blowout a week for 30 days and we commit to giving you the best head massage, gorgeous hair, and a special package price!  

 

Pedicure

We are big believers that pedicures are one of the ultimate spa experiences. They bundle relaxation, massage, and gorgeous toes all together! Our gal Alex used to be a massage therapist so her massage skills are next-level.

 

Bath Goodies

Everyone loves some quality bath products. There is something so nice about taking a bubble bath or watching a bath bomb fizz. Lots of local makers create the best bath products from quality ingredients and safe perfumes. There are tons to be found at local markets likeHandmade Sask (@handmadesask) orBrick & Mortar (@brickandmortarsk)!

Insider Tip: Try ahair mask from Salon Society when you soak in a bath to nourish your hair while you relax!

 

Books

Cozy up with a good book! Find the perfect book for your pal or get them a gift certificate to find their own.Centennial Books andSpafford Books are great local independent bookstores to check out. Plus one of Regina’s coolest bookstores isAwarehouse Books (@awarehousebooks) - full of crystals, incense, and of course books - it is a must-visit store in Cathedral!

 

Cozy Local Mugs 

Everyone knows that your drink tastes better out of a cozy mug! Regina has many local pottery artists that make the cutest mugs - we highly recommend you snag one for yourself! 

Fave local artists + local shops:

AidenAmina (@aiden.amina)

PrairieMoon Handmade (@prairiemoonhandmade) - if you can get your hands on one - she sells out fast!

Wildfire Ceramics (@wildfire_ceramics)

 

Float 

After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, few things sound better than resetting in a sensory deprivation float tank! Check outSmith & Best Float Studio for this super cool experience. 

 

Candles

Candles are another classic for a relaxing ambience. For a wonderful gift, grab a locally made candle in a favourite scent!

Hygge Candle Co. (@hyggecandle.ca)

Conjure Apothecary (@conjure.apothecary)

Ruby Reid Candle (@rubyreidcandles) - you can shop these when you go for your float at Smith & Best Float Studio!

Plants 

Is there anything more relaxing than loving your home? In our opinion, plants give an instant ambience boost to any space. They are bright, lively, O2-creating machines that make us so happy (is it any wonder we have turned Salon Society into a jungle?). 

Our local faves:

Dutch Growers (@dutchgrowers_regina)

Rooted Landscape & Design (@rootedld)

Little Big Plant Company (@thelittlebigplantcompany)

Acne is one of those topics that is surrounded by SO MUCH misinformation!! There is so much conflicting advice, product endorsements, active ingredients, DIYs, Dos and Don'ts, and drastic solutions floating around that sometimes it feels IMPOSSIBLE to know what is fact and what is fiction.
