Tao Spa · Glenside & Spring House, PA
Couples Massage Gift Card
A couples massage is the rare gift that both people use, both people enjoy, and both people remember. Our gift card for the couples massage at Tao Spa is open-amount, no-expiration, and good at both Glenside (where the dedicated candlelit couples room lives) and Spring House. Built for the anniversaries, the engagements, the Valentine's Days where booking the exact day is impossible — and for the just-because gifts that land hardest of all.
I · What it covers
The session, in the room they remember
The Glenside location has a dedicated couples massage room — candles, dim lighting, two side-by-side tables, and two licensed therapists running parallel sessions. Couples can pick the same style or split it (one deep tissue, one relaxation; one hot stone, one Thai). 60, 75, or 90 minutes. The room is private to your party for the whole booking — no shared walls, no interruptions.
Why couples gravitate to massage as a shared ritual is well established. The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) tracks relaxation, stress relief, and quality time as the leading reasons people seek out massage — and a shared spa hour layers the third reason on top of the first two. Mayo Clinic Health System on massage for depression, anxiety, and stress describes massage as a supportive practice for couples carrying compounding stress — both partners walking in tense, both leaving with their shoulders down. Mayo Clinic on the role of massage therapy for mental health takes the same line — touch-based bodywork as a meaningful complement when a relationship needs an honest hour off the grid.
Spring House also runs couples massage, with a slightly different room feel (more natural light, quieter neighborhood). Either way, the gift card is honored at both — your recipients pick whichever fits their schedule.
II · Why people buy this gift
Five occasions, one gift
Anniversary
The most common reason a couples gift card lands. Mark the card with the year, hand it over, let them pick the date.
Valentine's Day
Easier than booking the actual Feb 14 slot (which sells out). Gift card with a 'pick a weekend in February' card works beautifully.
Engagement / Wedding
Easier than picking a dish or a gadget. A spa morning before the big day is a gift the couple remembers.
Birthday
Especially for the partner who 'never goes to the spa' — couples format means they have company through it.
Just Because
Honestly the best version. Mid-year random surprise — no occasion. Lands hardest.
III · How much to put on the card
A reasonable budget guide
| Card amount | Covers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| $200 | 60-min Couples Massage | Most common couples gift |
| $260 | 75-min Couples Luxury Massage | Upgraded session |
| $300 | 90-min Candle-Lit Couples Massage | Anniversary-grade |
| $350 | 60-min Couples Massage + Couples Reflexology + add-on | Spa morning, two sessions |
| $400+ | Full spa day for two | Massage + facial combo, side by side |
| Custom | Any amount | Pick a number that fits the relationship |
Tip is at the recipient's discretion — most leave 18-20%. If you want the card to cover tip too, add about 20% to the amounts above.
IV · Three ways to send it
Sending the gift
By phone: call (215) 824-8585, give us the amount, the recipient name, and the email address. E-card sent in a few minutes.
Online: through the Glenside gift card store or the Spring House gift card store. Pick the amount, write a personal message, check out. Lands in their inbox.
In person: we will hand you a printed card in a sleeve and write a calligraphy message by hand. Visit either location during open hours.
"Sending the e-card on Valentine's morning still counts. We have done plenty of 7 AM 'I need this in 10 minutes' gifts. It works."
Frequently Asked Questions
Do they have to use the gift card the same day?
No. They book whenever it works — next weekend, in three months, on an anniversary date you mark on the card. No expiration. They also do not need to use the full balance in one session — leftover credit stays on the card for the next visit.
Can I buy a couples gift card for two separate sessions?
Yes. The card is dollar-value, not service-locked. They can use it for one couples massage, or split it across two solo sessions, or stack it with a Massage + Facial combo. Whatever works.
What is a reasonable dollar amount for a couples massage gift?
A 60-min Candle-Lit Couples Massage at Glenside lands around $220 with tip. 75-min lands closer to $260. 90-min around $300. Most couples gift-card purchases are between $200 and $300. If you want them to add Couples Reflexology or champagne, $320–$350 covers it comfortably.
Can I add a romantic upgrade like champagne?
Yes — Glenside offers champagne welcome, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a Couples Reflexology add-on. Mention these at booking and we will set the room. They can also pay for the upgrade separately if you want the gift card to cover just the massage.
Is the gift card good at both Tao Spa locations?
Yes. Glenside has the dedicated candlelit couples room; Spring House also offers couples massage. The same card works at either. Couples massage is a Glenside specialty, but the card is flexible.
Can I make it look like a real gift, not just an email?
Yes — we offer a printed card in a sleeve with a hand-written calligraphy message, available at either location during open hours. Some clients have us write the message and mail the card directly to the recipient's address — call us and we will arrange it.
Is this a good Valentine's Day or anniversary gift?
Yes — couples massage is consistently our most-gifted service for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and engagement gifts. We sell out the actual Valentine's Day couples slots a week early most years, so a gift card is the cleaner play: they pick a date that works.
