The gift of time

Sometimes you have people on your list who don't "need" anything — except more time in their day! How can you help them achieve that? Perhaps by gifting them a service that saves them time -- such as housecleaning, yard work, painting, or a car detail. Here are some local Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Chamblee, and Doraville businesses that offer those types of services:

The gift of self-care

Many of us are often so busy we forget to take time to care for ourselves. This has especially been true for parents during COVID who are juggling so much! A gift certificate for a spa treatment, a massage, a pedicure, or a hair appointment might be just the push they need to take a few hours for themselves and recharge. Here are some great spots in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Chamblee, and Doraville that offer these types of services, along with gift cards for the holidays:

The gift of experience

A gift certificate to a Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Chamblee, and Doraville restaurant for a date night, a membership to a local Atlanta museum for the family, a season pass for kids — experience gifts might come in a small package but might be their favorite holiday gift this season. Plus your purchase will help our local restaurants, nonprofits, and businesses with cash flow during this difficult year.
