The problem with gift vouchers is that they are often tied to a specific retailer, meaning that if you live in the middle of nowhere you need to go to a bigger city to cash in your gift. Not anymore. Wahanda's beauty vouchers can in fact be bought online and redeemed in 369 spas, salons, health farms, hotel spas, gyms and yoga studios around the UK. Elemis, Champneys and Handpicked Hotels are only some of the several outlets that accept the vouchers, so the choice is truly immense. Only in London there are 153 beauty and health centres that accept Wahanda's vouchers, Scotland can count 29, whilst Wales has 7, with plenty outside the main cities too.

But what with this postal strike, is it smart to buy online, I hear you say? Wahanda has thought about that too: they guarantee next day delivery even during these troubled times of postal meltdown,  and if that wasn't enough, when you spend £50 or more on vouchers you receive a complimentary Thalgo Love Your Skin gift. Wahanda also offers a vast array of pamper days at your favourite spas, where you can choose packages offering facials, waxing, massages, body wraps, aromatherapy, manicures, pedicures and more. If you prefer to be preened and pampered in the comfort of your our home, Wahanda has a comprehensive list of beauty therapists in your area who do home visits and happily accept the Wahanda vouchers. Beauty has truly never been so easy.  http://www.wahanda.com/the-wahanda-gift-voucher ; http://www.wahanda.com/inspire/pamper-days
