ideeli Bliss Giveaway Coming Soon

Season's Treatings
Some ladies spa. Others? They Bliss. What began in 1996 as a Soho haven for superior skincare has evolved into a worldwide synonym for corporal serenity. Now praised for its miracle working product line and recognized by its distinctly witty voice, Bliss has opened locations from San Francisco to Singapore. No news there, right? You may also know that what sets their facials and scrubs apart from the pampering masses is attitude. They have none! Pretense-free, Bliss is all about making their clients feel as "fabu-bliss" as can be.

In this spirit of the individual and the approaching holiday season, Bliss wants to make sure all of your gift recipients are overcome with pure bliss by offering 30% off Make Your Own Gift. Available for a limited time only, just click on to Blissworld.com, check everyone off of your list then enter promo code: GIFT30 and rejoice in a holiday shopping spree well-done. (While you're there, sign up for the latest Bliss offers, news and launches via their delightfully entertaining email updates.)

Bliss also believes that there's no reason why all of your friends and family should soak up so much spa time on their own. One lucky ideeli member will win a $500 gift card towards treatments or products, too. Part Bliss, part ideeli, this is one giveaway that's a match made in heaven.

This giveaway is part of the ideeli Thanks A Million series.
