The countdown for Christmas has begun, and the multitude of Christmas present options make for an overwhelming list indeed.

Wandering around Portobello Road, checking the market for little gems, or scanning the fashionable boutiques of Notting Hill, one might be forgiven if one overlooked the possibilities of Scin Boutique, nestled amongst the sights and sounds of one of London’s premier shopping spots.

But this Christmas, take time to consider a spa voucher from one of London’s premier beauty spas. And, whoever the recipient, spa vouchers are a perfect present, just as the Scin Boutique website outlines:

“A Scin Gift Voucher makes gift giving easy - you simply can’t get it wrong! Scin offers the recipient a fantastic choice of what to spend their voucher on. They can choose from all the gorgeous gorgeous natural and Organic Skincare goodies at http://www.scinboutique.com or spend there Gift Voucher on pampering themselves with a fantastic treatment at Scin Spa in Notting Hill. Combining the two is also possible.”

So its the perfect present for Christmas, and it makes a great day out, trawling the wonderful streets of one of London’s most fashionable areas, uncovering the rarities of rthe market places.

The vouchers are extremely versatile, too, as the Scin Boutique website once again outlines:

“Scin Spa in Notting Hill has a dinky Hydrotherapy bath for one or two people. This treatment warms muscles and is very relaxing so it is great to have prior to a Scin massage, body treatment or facial. Scin Package “Massage Heaven” combines a Hydrotherapy session with a Face Scalp and Body massage and is very popular ( 2 hours for £100).

For mums to be the Scin Pregnancy Massage is the perfect present. Scin has a specially designed pregnancy massage couch with a hole in to allow mum to lie on her front with her bump moulded and supported by an elasticated mesh. This means that mum can really relax during the treatment in total comfort. This treatment is suitable for ladies of 13 weeks+pregnant and the treatment uses an organic pregnancy massage oil. Scin Pregnancy Full Body Massage is £70 (1 hour) or Scin Pregnancy Pampering Package combines a 90 minute Face, Scalp and Body Pregnancy Massage with a quick fix Manicure or Pedicure (£105).

Manicures and Pedicures are always a great gift idea. At Scin the Manicure and Pedicure area is located in the Boutique which has huge windows looking out onto Kensington Park Road. This is great for people watching and the odd bit of celebrity spotting. Scin is a relaxed and friendly environment and it is important to us that everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Scin Manicures and Pedicures range from £25 for a Quick Fix (30 minutes) to £50 for a luxury treatment (1 hour).”

So this Christmas, don’t neglect spa vouchers because they might not seem thoughtful; they can be personalised, sensitive, and tailored, and they can represent not only a lovely present, but a lovely day out in one of the world’s most popular and celebrated cities.

Merry Christmas!
