Last Minute Gift Ideas that don't break the bank
Wairarapa Neighbours... do you need some extra gifts for under the tree or have someone to buy for that you just don't know what to get? Why not get a beautiful Pure Fiji Christmas Cracker. The golden cracker contains lots of little treasures from Pure Fiji including 30ml Body Lotion, 15ml Body Butter, 15ml Hydrating Body Mist and 5ml Lip Balm. Choose from White Gingerlily, Coconut Lime or Guava (pictured) infusions. They are $25 each or take advantage of our 5 for $100 offer. Pop in to Brackenridge Spa today.
Have a man to buy for and really stuck with what to get? Socks are so last decade. Pure Fiji has launched a new Men's skincare essentials range called Mana'ia. Brackenridge spa has beautiful gift boxes which are the perfect gift for Dad, your brother, lover, friend, son or anyone who just loves the rich masculine scent. The range contains a powerful blend of cold-pressed drift nut oils to nourish, hydrate and protect.
The gift pack contains Pure Fiji Mana’Ia Body Lotion (354ml) and travel sizes of Shower Gel and Body Butter. We've got plenty of stock so especially for Neighbourly friends we've discounted them from $59 to $45. Only at Brackenridge Spa.
