For those looking to give the gift of relaxation this holiday season, Shapes Salon and Day Spa in the Fairfax Station shopping center on Ox Road is a great place to start.
Shapes is decorated for the holiday season, and manager Amy Jordan said that the salon has holiday specials that are popular.
The packages range from $76 to $264 and would make a great last-minute gift package for busy shoppers. The biggest package is the "Lights, Camera, Action" package, which includes microdermabrasion, gel peel treatment, and alpha vital facial. The package is normally $330.
For those on a budget, the "Party from Head to Toe" gives the gift of a manicure and pedicure for $56. Jewelry and other accessories are also available at Shapes, and could make for great stocking stuffers.
The store also provides gift cards for shoppers who may not know what to buy for people on their list.
Shoppers who may want something a little more food-related can try Great Harvest Bread Company, which has a location in Lorton.
Great Harvest Bread Company provides a variety of gift baskets and products like baked goods and tea towels for a last-minute holiday shopper on any budget.
All of the items in the gift baskets are made from scratch.
According to Sam Gray, a manager at the store’s Burke location, customizable gift baskets are also popular. "People can either come into the store or order the gift baskets online," Gray said.
