The Gift of Small Indulgences - Four Seasons Gift Cards


Receiving a gift card tops the holiday wish list, according to a recent study of affluent consumers by Harrison Group for American Express Publishing*. This festive season, give them what they want with a Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Gift Card from Four Seasons Hotel Sydney. Redeemable worldwide for virtually anything, recipients can treat themselves to small indulgences in Sydney or abroad.

"Four Seasons Gift Cards are a wonderful last minute gift for that hard to buy for person on your list," said Stephen Lewis, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Sydney. "This year's festive season is a time to spoil those you love and pamper them after a year of many ups and downs. Gift Cards open up a world of shared experiences and which can be as simple as enjoying a signature spa treatment to indulging in a five course Chef's Table dinner with sixteen friends, the choice is yours."

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney offers countless, accessible gift experiences for everyone on your list including:

• Treat the pamper queen on your list to a Sodashi Crystalus Massage in The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney. This treatment is available no where else in the world and is perfect for end of year unwinding. Crystals used in this treatment are sourced from around Australia and their properties balance the mind, body and soul ($205 AUD)

• Send the gourmand on your list to a themed cooking class at Aujourd'hui at Four Seasons Hotel Boston. They'll learn the favorite recipes of Executive Chef Brooke Vosika and Chef de Cuisine William Kovel; pair them with wine recommendations from Sommelier Jason Irving and take a Sous Chef apron home as a souvenir. ($125 USD)

• For the ski fanatic on your list, the Ski Lite Programme at Four Seasons Resort Whistler lets them pack light for their winter getaway, suiting them up onsite with designer ski wear from Prada and Spyder and performance rental equipment by Salomon, Rossignol and K2 skis and Burton boards. (Price varies)

• For the shopaholic on your list, a Rodeo Drive cocktail in The Blvd at Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills (A Four Seasons Hotel) will hit the spot after a day of retail therapy. Recommend the Tiffany Blue in a special edition tumbler by Frank Gehry for Tiffany. They'll take sweet memories – and the tumbler – home. ($55 USD)
