While tis’ the season to be jolly, tis’ also the season for a million of gift giving guides from every blogger under the sun. That’s great and all, but if your love language is more quality time or physical touch you may be left unsatisfied (No idea what I am talking about? Check out this link to one of my favorite books.) Instead of gifts to give, I came up with 5 experiences you can share with a loved one this holiday season.

1.Spa

There is no better way to say I love you more than a massage and a day spent in sauna or steam rooms. Maybe it’s because I am an athlete and desperately need a massage after 6 months of training jiu-jitsu, but spa’s allow you to relax and spend time together away from technology and other distractions. Top that off with a nice lunch or dinner as you watch snow fall outside and I would say you had one marvelous day. My top pick for a massage in Montréal would be Spa Vert, a place where you are able to customize massages based on your own individual needs. As an added bonus, they use only natural oils and eco-products. For baths, I would choose Bota-Bota. The refurbished boat offers spectacular views of the Old Port in a laid-back atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit this winter.
