Some of the best gifts involve not just a nice present to open, but a present that requires you to do something for the recipient to make it come to life! I gave this Hot Stone Massage Kit to my boyfriend for Christmas two years ago and he still loves it!!!

This kit is under $10 and has just enough stones that are only large enough to do a massage for the hands or feet (his personal favorite) but I bought additional rocks that were large enough for a back massage at my local Target. I found them in the craft and candle section and they were quite inexpensive. The only other real necessity is an accurate thermometer (that’s the one I have) and a bowl, which you probably already own.

How to give this gift? As long as you are giving this gift to someone who enjoys massages and you are willing to lovingly participate in giving the massage part of the gift, you really can’t go wrong. I made this into a bit of a game: I purchased some accessories, since I knew he would want to use this gift a lot, and wrapped them up separately and made him open them one by one. The puzzled look on his face was priceless! When I, gift giver extraordinaire, gave him a slotted spoon, a bowl and a thermometer, he knew something was up but couldn’t quite figure it out. Then I gave him the additional rocks and it was beginning to dawn on him what all the stuff was for, so that when he finally opened the kit he was thrilled. This is just one way to give this but, it is such a nice simple gift that it doesn’t quite matter how you give it, the idea that you will massage your love is what will make them happy!

If you really want to please your recipient, read the instructions and make sure you have everything you need so that when they want to collect on the massage you can use the kit right away.

This is a great gift because you have to give of yourself and your time to make it work well and they get enjoy it over and over again. Just make sure you are in a loving and patient mood and don’t rush through it. It will be a sensational hit!

When I was looking for the link to the hot stone massage kit I also found this DVD that would make a great complimentary gift.
