With just over two weeks until Valentine’s Day, we’re excited to share this year’s exclusive milk + honey Valentine’s Day retreats. You can purchase these retreats over the phone by calling 512.236.1115 or 713.231.0250, in any milk + honey location, or online, now through February 28. Want to skip right to the good stuff? Go here now. Otherwise, keep scrolling for a breakdown of our Valentine’s Day favorites.
There’s a slight chill in the air, red and green ornaments aplumb, and twinkly light-strewn streets — all signs that the holidays are here! As the holiday gifting extravaganza begins, we’re kicking off the season with our annual milk + honey gift guide. Here, you’ll find the perfect present for her, him, your parents, under $150, and even luxurious presents for yourself!
Still looking for the perfect gift this holiday season? Our Holiday Gift Guide and limited-edition gift sets are a great place to start. However, if you’re looking for gifts with a personal touch, our holiday packages and gift certificates are the perfect choices. You can purchase gift certificates by calling 512.236.1115 or visiting us online. Shipping for gift certificates through the mail is free and will be mailed 24 hours after purchase.
To help ensure that your gift certificates arrive on time, please read below for important dates to remember.
Feel like skipping deadlines altogether? Snag an instant gift certificate here.
Saturday, December 19
Regardless if it’s mailed within or outside of Texas, we guarantee regular mail delivery before December 25th only if the gift certificate order is placed before noon CST on December 19. After December 19, all gift certificates that will be mailed outside of Texas will need to be expedited, which may incur additional shipping charges.
Monday, December 21 and Tuesday, December 22
We will continue to accept online gift certificate orders for regular mail delivery in Houston until December 21 at noon CST, and in Austin until December 22 at noon CST. After December 22, we can no longer guarantee a December 25 delivery.
Wednesday, December 23 and Thursday, December 24
Gift certificates mailed after December 22 will need to be overnighted for a fee of $25. However instant gift certificates are great choice and will be emailed to your recipient after purchase.
Single, taken, in the mood for love, or just feel like a bit of indulgence? Good. Let Valentine’s Day be your excuse. We like to think we show the ones we love how much we appreciate them year-round, but there’s nothing wrong with a little extra TLC come February 14. If you’re with us on that point, then stick around — we’re making it easy to get it right next week.
1. Give an Experiential Gift
It’s not just a gift certificate to milk + honey, oh no. It’s your (or someone special’s) ticket to a luxurious massage, facial, mani-pedi, blowout, etc. Basically, this is a guarantee “in writing” that an awesome treatment is just an appointment away.
2. Pucker Up
“O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.”
— Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
This organic, plant-based lip butter is packed with moisturizing virgin coconut oil and shea fruit butter, and fragrant with a warm, spicy mix of cardamom and vanilla. In short, those lips don’t stand a chance. In the best way possible.
3. Set the Mood
Nothing like a little ambiance — preferably one that smells of sandalwood, vetiver, and cardamom — to set the mood. Love is in the air, with a little help from our delicious milk + honey Home Fragrance No. 46 of course.
4. Make plans
This year, Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday. Translation? Reservations are a must. Start with a couples massage at our 2nd Street District or Hill Country Galleria location (book now!), then head to one of our favorite new restaurants in East Austin, Gardner. If Valentine’s Day is actually more of a “Gal-entine’s” celebration, that’s still a valid reason to treat yourself. Head to Gardner with friends, or go for pizza at Bufalina and top it off with delicious cocktails at Weather Up.
5. Have fun
No reason to fret over this day. If nothing else, it’s a Saturday. Enjoy it!
Let’s cut to the chase: our 2014 holiday specials and packages are here!
You can’t go wrong with this season’s milk + honey gift offerings — from luxurious spa packages to our very own organic, plant-based bath and body care products, we’ve got you covered.
We have to get back to turkey prep now, but we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday weekend. May it be filled with gratitude, reflection, warmth, laughs, and if we get so lucky, a little milk + honey too.
Cheers!
If you’ve forgotten someone on your Christmas list, or just like to take care of things at the last minute, milk + honey is here to help.
There is still time to mail milk + honey Gift Certificates. Plus, we have Instant Gift Certificates. Give us a call at 512.236.1115 and we’ll get this taken care of for you quickly and easily.
For everyone who lives in Austin, we think you’ll be safe for Christmas morning if you place your orders by Thursday at noon. If you live outside of Austin, mailing a physical gift certificate may be too late, so we recommend one of our beautifully designed Instant Gift Certificates.
For anyone using overnight shipping through FedEx, orders need to be in Thursday by 5pm to make sure the gift certificates will arrive on Christmas Eve.
Once the calendar hits Thursday, December 22, we highly recommend using our Instant Gift Certificates.
We hope this helps your last minute Christmas needs. Have a happy holiday!
