The holiday season is here and with that comes shopping for the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. Choosing just the right gift for each person is part of the excitement of the season - and at the same time a big contributor to the stress of the season, which is why I’m excited to share with you how I’m decreasing the gift giving stress this year.
I always try to give useful gifts to thank those who do so much for my family: my kids’ teachers, our go to babysitter, the neighbor who always feeds our (longest ever living) hermit crabs when we are away, the nurse at our pediatrician’s office who goes above and beyond to answer all of my questions, the school secretaries who are always so cheerful every time I call and the list goes on. So many people that I want to spoil and let them know how much they help us every day. When it comes down to it, none of them want that sixth pair of fuzzy socks, sugary treat, one more travel mug or yet another ‘Best (insert job role here) Ever’ ornament. So what am I giving everyone this year?
I love supporting local businesses so if I can combine useful and local, it’s an obvious win in my book. This year I’m giving all of those people who make my life so much easier gift certificates to The Auto Spa, The Auto Spa Express and The Lube Center. Useful, local and stress free make for the perfect gift giving combination!
Top five reasons why gift certificates to The Auto Spa, The Auto Spa Express and The Lube Center are the best to both give and get:
- Everyone needs an oil change. It’s one of those things in life we all have to do to keep our cars running smoothly, but nobody gets excited about. The Lube Center is changing that with their fast and convenient drive-thru oil change service. My kids actually get excited about going for an oil change. Everyone gets to stay in the car, the kids are mesmerized watching the Oil Cam showing the oil change going on under the car and I get ten minutes of uninterrupted quiet time. They also offer juice, coffee, water, coloring books with crayons and dog biscuits so every customer in the vehicle is happy and entertained!
- Savings - for my wallet. All gift cards are 10% off from now until 12/24. WLR gift certificates can be purchased online here (great for those last minute shoppers) or at any of their locations.
- Never worry about showing up empty handed. There’s nothing more embarrassing than when someone hands you a gift and you have nothing in return. I’m buying a few extra gift cards and if I don’t end up giving them out, I’ll use them myself in 2021 knowing I saved 10% on my services with the gift certificate discount.
- Show people you appreciate them month after month. The Auto Spa and The Auto Spa Express both offer extremely affordable giftable membership options where you can wash once a day everyday for as low as $24.99/month. What a great gift to give, especially during these Maryland winters that are so hard on our cars. Your gift recipient will have exclusive access to a members only lane that will get them in and out fast. Members also receive $10 off oil changes at The Lube Center. I ‘might’ be giving this gift to someone who lives in my house (hint: think your spouse or teen driver)
- Every Oil Change = Free Car Wash. One of the best parts of getting an oil change at The Lube Center is the coupon they give every customer for a free car wash at The Auto Spa or The Auto Spa Express. It’s really like you’re giving two gifts in one when you give a gift certificate to The Lube Center.
