On the First Day of Christmas: Pamper Your Nails and Feet

Looking for a gift for your mother, sister or girlfriend? Want to get your boss or teacher a little something that might put her in a better mood? If you know a girl on the go who rarely takes the time to pamper herself, give the ultimate gift of beauty and relaxation. Plus, she won't even have to leave Levittown to use it!

Head over to a local nail salon and pick up a gift certificate-- the best part is it's easy to set your own price limit and you'll get brownie points for the thoughtful idea no matter how much you spend!

In addition to manicures and pedicures ranging from basic to luxurious, many salons offer massages, facials and every other treatment she needs to look and feel like a million bucks-- without you spending it.

Note: This could also be a nice way to give the man in your life a not-so-subtle hint if he hasn't caught on to your complaints about his lack of self-grooming. Who knows? He might realize it's something he really enjoys. Everyone appreciates a good exfoliating session!
