Spa Day for Mums 2023

Going to a day spa is just not something a mum would normally do for herself.  It’s too much of a luxury to have someone rub your feet, to wear a big fluffy robe, to sit in a room with candles and be treated like royalty. For many mums, it’s a quick route to mummy guilt and feeling that it’s money that should be spent on something else and not her own wellbeing. That’s why giving a mum or mum to be a day spa gift voucher works. It’s pretty much telling her to go and be treated like a queen with absolutely no guilt attached. She has no choice but to accept and use the voucher!

Where: various locations in Toowoomba

When: Whenever she wants!
