The Gift of Beauty

Of all the things a new mom wants delivered to her door, a day spa is sure to be at the top of her list. But that might be hard to box up. Instead, wrap up services from 2BU Beauty mobile salon in the form of a gift certificate. Whether she wants to celebrate being able to see her toes again with a naptime mani/pedi or relax (and probably fall asleep) during a postpartum massage, this is one gift that delivers what new moms really need, some serious "me" time. One good delivery deserves another!

Where to get it: Schedule an appointment or purchase a gift certificate with 2BU Beauty online.
