Popular Cali-based spa chain The Now Massage is making it easier than ever to give the gift of relaxation this year. Guests can enjoy a complimentary $20 added to every $100 gift card purchase made online or in-boutique from Jan. 27 to Feb. 14. This new concept massage boutique was founded on the principle that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. The boutique spa opened its doors in The Heights last fall.
