I know it seems an odd thing to ask on here, but who knows!

I want to find a spa day that isn't crazily priced, somewhere in Hampshire, or not a horrific drive away.

It is for my other halfs mum, we are splitting the cost, but they still cost a bomb!

Want it to include probably a full body massage, and facial, that sort of thing, if we are going to get one for her it may as well be good.

Thanks, Chloe. Thumbs Up

Not too sure what is considered extortionate for a Spa Day, as they all seem quite pricey to me Embarassed This is a great place to go that's in Hampshire and there are lots of polo horses there too, so may tick other boxes Wink

Could you possibly get someone in to do a massage/facial? I know there is travelling masseurs.

If I was to do it, and got on well with the person I was buying it for, then I would get someone to come to the house, some bubbly, and some girly products you can buy cheap from a chemist (DIY Toe nail stuff, DIY facial, etc etc) and have a girly evening/day in.

Which sounds good to me - as it's hell of a lot cheaper Laughing

If you can't find a cheap spa day, then what about going to the hairdressers together and getting a new 'look' and possibly getting nails done at the same time?

Check me out, full of suggestions at this time of the morning.

Lastminute.com have got some 2 for 1 offers on days at the Spa at Longleat Centre Parks, so it's £70 for the pair. Myself and MrsHippy did the twighlight experience there on Monday evening and I highly recommend it Smile Thumbs Up

I'm going for a weekend break at Longleat Centre Parcs in mid Dec and so we have booked the SPA there as well, though it was a bit cheaper as obviously we had booked a holiday with them.

I went to Nivarna Spa just outside of Reading for a Red Letter day, it cost £99 and was open for two people to use the pool, spa pool, jacussi, but the other things like floatation tank and massage were only for me in the price.

Oh and you got a towelin robe, newspapers, drinks and a light lunch free in the price too.

It was an all day ticket.
