Relax, Hammacher Schlemmer has you covered this holiday season

Every year I look forward to the Hammacher Schlemmer holiday gift guide. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Hammacher Schlemmer is America's longest running catalog, and their aim is to offer the Best, the Only, and the Unexpected since 1848. Each year their gift guide is filled with all sorts of new items that range from ultra-practical (The Only Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator) to novelty (The Talking and Dancing Disco Robot) and everything in between.  

Are you looking for unique gifts that your recipient won’t ever forget? How about the Personalized Bobblehead, or maybe the 3D Writing Pen? You can shop by recipient or just browse their full guide for unique gifts for everyone on your list. Whether your recipient is incredibly hard to shop for or someone who gives you a specific wish list, you are sure to find the perfect present to wrap up for the holidays.

While I have quite a few favorite items on the gift guide {some that I have used for years and highly recommend and others that I’ve had on my list for a while}, my top pick this year is the Deep or Light Pressure Neck Massager. Maybe it’s the fact that we are getting older, but nothing sounds more heavenly than sitting by a fire while relaxing and having the stress of the day disappear. Come January we will have 3 little ones running about, so little luxuries are truly going to be a lifesaver. After seeing how awesome this little guy looked, I searched for even more massagers on the Hammacher Schlemmer site and found the highly rated Any Surface Full Body Massage Pad that I knew I must have. We’re talking heavenly bliss in a flexible vibration massage pad that can even be used on soft or irregular surfaces such as beds, couches, or chairs. Measuring 70 3/4" L x 23 1/2" W x 3/4" D, the Any Surface Massage Pad flexes at four points which allows you to drape it over a lounger, chair, or any piece of sitting/reclining furniture, which means you aren’t confined to a massage table or hard chair. The pad’s built-in massaging motors target the neck, upper back, lower back, and thighs, all of which is controlled with the tethered remote with 6 different presets to choose from as well as varying speeds and intensities to customize your massage. Since hubby and I prefer different strength massages, I love that we’re both able to use the same massage pad – him at the highest setting, me at the lowest, and we can each choose where we enjoy it. You can also choose which side of the Any Surface Full Body Massage Pad to lay on – either the bamboo side for warmer months or the fabric side for when you want a cozy place to lay and relax. Unlike huge massage chairs that don’t roll out of site, you can roll this one up or fold it up fairly compactly and store it away when it’s not in use, or you could even bring it with you on vacation. Check out Hammacher Schlemmer and see all of their amazing and over-the-top gifts you could give to that special someone this year. All of their products are backed by the Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee, which allows gift-givers and recipients to exchange or return gifts at any time, for any reason – how amazing is that?
