We’re going to profess to know what women want in this article…and we’re going to play the card…we know, because we’ve got a lot of women on our team, all ages, from all over the world, with lots of different life experiences. So…our team view is that we expect our loved ones to go the extra mile on special occasions! I mean…c’mon who doesn’t right? It doesn’t always need to be a huge spend or even monetary but in the main, we all want a little extra TLC on the old Hallmark days.

The month of March kicks off with International Women’s Day (March 8th), and finishes with Mothering Sunday on the 31st, so if there ever was a time of the year to impress your wife, partner, sister, mother or grandmother this month is it.

What do Women Want? Quality Time

As women we’re always juggling a million things at the same time, because we can, and we’re just better at it than men (science says so, not us, fact!), but sadly that leaves us with little time, to plan quality time, with you, the men in our lives. So we really really appreciate it when you make the effort to organise something for both of us. Everyone loves a lunch or dinner out and that’s always a good idea, but how often do you take us to afternoon tea? Mother’s Day or Women’s day is the perfect excuse to try it if you haven’t done so already, and here are our favourite places for afternoon tea in London.

Afternoon Tea:  The Dorchester, The Langham, or Claridges. The setting is elegant, the scones mouthwatering, and the atmosphere absolutely charming. We recommend booking at least a couple of weeks in advance to secure your table. 

Fancy a day out in nature? You can plan a picnic or a hike or why not both? Our favourite picnic spots are near the Peace Pagoda in Battersea park or near Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath which has unbeatable views of London. Just a short drive out of the city is Box Hill which has quite a few family friendly hikes to choose from.

Still Not Sure? Get a Blissful Gift Card

It’s no secret that we all enjoy a bit of pampering once in a while, and no, you rubbing our feet for 5mins does NOT count as pampering. We’d much rather have a professional do that, thank you. And we know the beauty treatment menu can sound like Chinese to some, so we’re perfectly happy getting a pampering gift card so we can choose our own treatment. With a range massages, mani/pedis, facials, and other beauty treatments, USPAAH can deliver instant bliss to your door, and you can book same day too (for those who tend to do things last minute;)).

Purchase Gift Card on our website, iOS app or Android app.

Valentines main

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and couples all around the world will be celebrating their relationship, secret admirers will be declaring their love with flowers (though nowadays, they’ll probably slide in to your DM’s). Do not fear, singletons! We believe that everyone deserves to be spoilt this Valentine’s Day.

The general idea behind the ‘holiday’ is to celebrate LOVE, which isn’t actually a bad one. It’s time to make the Valentine’s Day about the love shared between friends, family, couples, and whoever it is you simply care about! Keep reading if you want to treat a loved one to something special this year.

GALENTINE’S DAY GLAM

Galentines

Galentine’s Day is a holiday Amy Poehler’s Parks and Rec character Leslie Knope created that occurs every year the day before Valentine’s Day, where you celebrate your love for your best girls, its all about chicks before…

We recommend getting a mani/pedi with your bezzies, we can even send multiple Sparistas to you for large group bookings – did someone say slumber party? Gent’s this applies to you guys too!

FAMILY FUN

Family fun

If your New Years resolution is to spend more time with relatives, then ta-da! This is your perfect opportunity. From the moment you’re born, no one loves you more than your parents, and if you’re lucky enough to share that bond with them still, it’s definitely something worth celebrating. Why not surprise them with our classic ‘Swedish Relax and Unwind’, a massage for one or two, it’s up to you. If you fancy a pamper day with Mum, we also recommend our Age Reversal facial – maybe keep the name of it on the quiet though…

YOURS TRULY

Yours truly

Often, couples end up being so busy that they find hardly any time to be alone together without worrying about the stresses of their day and what they need to do tomorrow. According to marriage and family specialist Esther Boykin, a couples massage session can really “drive you to let go, and turn your attention to the present moment”. Engaging wholeheartedly in an activity so intimate as this can genuinely help you to reconnect with your partner, and that content feeling after having a massage could potentially do wonders for your relationship. Oh the romance!

Like we said, Valentine’s Day is a celebration of all kinds of love, and we’re more than happy to play cupid this year. If you’re unsure what to get for a loved one, why not give the gift of USPAAH and send over an E-Gift card. You can also save up to £25 with our Valentine’s Day Specials, just look for the VDAY SPECIAL OFFERS in our app Menu. Offers expire on 18th February 2018.
