For many people, Black Friday is the ultimate shopping day of the year and no longer simply a day to gobble leftovers and relax with friends and family. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen the appeal of crawling out of bed in the middle of the night simply to bag a bargain that surely can be had at another time! However, millions of shoppers look forward to the thrill of the hunt and all the stress that goes with it. Long lines, massive crowds, pushing and shoving are all bound to take their toll on your body and mind. There’s no better reason to take a time out after surviving the sales and recharging at a spa.
Many spas offer specials for stressed-out Black Friday shoppers, or perhaps for those who are stressed by all those visiting family members. Here’s a rundown of some offers and deals catering to shoppers or to anyone who needs a bit of post-Thanksgiving pampering or great gift ideas.

If you’re out and about, stop by Looma Spa and get 20 percent off any two products you buy.
