Stress Who

The Holidays Can Be Stressful. This’ll Help.

The holidays. They always have the best intentions. Yet somehow, those intentions always turn into... well, stress. And since that interferes with your not-being-stressed plans, allow us to suggest a few relaxation-specific gifts to give yourself. Although rum helps, too.

EGGS MARK THE SPOT

Eggnog Body Scrub

You Require: Bourbon, brown sugar and sweet cream. But not in cocktail form. Not this time, anyway.
You’ll Receive: A 50-minute treatment wherein an eggnog body scrub is rubbed all over your body and then rinsed off in a Vichy rain shower. The “I’m a festive cocktail” feeling remains, though.

HUSTLE AND FLOAT

A Tank That You Float In

You Require: Not hearing, seeing or feeling anything.
You’ll Receive: A pitch-black, sound-insulated capsule containing an Epsom-salt-rich solution (read: water) so dense that it enables you to float weightlessly. It’s like a zero-gravity nap. With more Epsom salts than one of those would probably normally have.

LEAVE A MASSAGE

Dinner and a Massage at Home

You Require: A quiet night in with someone you feel comfortable disrobing around.
You’ll Receive: A knock on the door. It’ll be two massage therapists (they’ll go about massaging you) and a chef (she’ll go about cooking a two-course meal for you). And a... no, that’s it.

POLITELY RECLINE

Full-Body Massage Recliner

You Require: A massage thorough enough to make you stop thinking about the 92 unchecked items on your to-do list.
You’ll Receive: A full-body recliner that uses an infrared sensor to scan, detect and massage your anatomical shiatsu points. Also, your choice of background music (classical, tranquil jazz, primitive...). Maybe don’t go primitive.

SAVING RACE

The Ultimate AMP Experience

You Require: A full day of driving on a road that’s not gridlocked.
You’ll Receive: Breakfast. Lunch. Oh, and a private instructor who will ride around in your car with you all day on the Atlanta Motorsports Park’s two-mile track. We’ll tell 285 you said hi.
