Help me, help my friends relax.

I wanted to get a gift certificate for some friends for a couples massage, but I don't live near them and have no clue where to get one from. They live in in Maryland near DC, so anywhere in the DC area should work. I don't have a lot of money, if it could be under $100 that would be great, but I may be able to swing up to $150. Anyone know any place that is good?

I went to Jolie Day spa for a "Day of Beauty" awhile back and really enjoyed it. They advertise a more expensive couples package on their site, but the regular massages are within your price range. I'd just check to see that they have rooms to do two massages together.

Thirding the Natural Body instructional massage. There's a Rockville location (in addition to the Arlington one mentioned above) that also does the instructional couples massage. You should include the tip in the gift certificate amount too...

there are also online compaines that you can buy gift certificates from.

there are hundreds of participating spas, and all they have to do is make an appointment with the spa of their choice, and tell them where the certificate is from.

this is the one that I used a few years ago, and had wonderful results with.
