Nail Salons in Cranford NJ

  We are on a mission this year.  A mission to help locals find meaningful, inexpensive, well-matched, and appreciated gifts to give to those people in their lives that leave them utterly idea-less when it comes to gift-giving.  Your child’s teacher does not need another Jean Nate gift set.  If she has been teaching for more than three years, she can probably fill a bathtub with the cheap cologne she has received during her career.  Your mail carrier does not want a box of cookies.  Especially if he or she has to carry it around in their mailbag until the end of their shift.  And nobody . . . . NOBODY . . . . wants a fruitcake.  Has anyone ever actually OPENED one of those?  Or are the same dozen or so passed around from year to year?

     It’s time to step it up and be the GOOD gift-giver this year!  Give the people what they want!  Those that do you a service all year long deserve a proper thank you and show of appreciation.  And there are some surprisingly simple things that you can get them that will truly make their holiday and be greatly appreciated!

So here is the first in a series of better gift-giving ideas.  Something that the teacher, mail carrier, babysitter, neighbor, car pool Mom, or friend will truly love . . . . .

A mani-pedi!!!!!

Who wouldn’t love the opportunity to sit and relax, get their hands and feet massaged, and come out looking pretty?  It’s one of those simple things that so many of us don’t take the time to do for ourselves, yet would be appreciated so much if gifted.

Most of the prices range from $25 – $35.  If you’re looking for a smaller gift, then you could always purchase enough of a gift certificate for just a manicure, which is more like $10 – $15.

Here is a list of just some of the best places right here in town to buy a gift certificate for some pampering time . . . . .

Top Nails at 111 South Avenue East

Young Nails at 20 Eastman Street

Nail Plaza Plus at 111 North Avenue West

Evey’s Nail Salon at 6 North Union Avenue

It’s All About Me Salon & Day Spa at 25 North Avenue East

Green Tea Nails at 200 Raritan Road

The Porch at 27 North Union Avenue

Most of these places offer a variety of other services, as well.  You can also check in with your favorite hair salon, as they often offer manicure and pedicure services, as well.

All you need is a tiny gift bag or box, and your wrapping is done.  No fuss, no department stores, no stress, and a gift that can be genuinely enjoyed.  And, hey . . . . while you’re there purchasing the gifts for others, why not take a minute to decompress this holiday season and enjoy a little pampering of your OWN?!  You deserve it!  And sitting in the massaging chairs is way more comfortable than sitting on Santa’s lap, anyway!
