Summer's Dawn
Thanksgiving Hostess gifts available
at Summer's Dawn Massage
Since a lot of work goes into planning and hosting Thanksgiving gatherings, you certainly shouldn't arrive empty handed. But you don't have to spend a lot to let your hostess know how much you appreciate her taking you under her wing. The standard bouquet of flowers or bottle of wine is acceptable, but we have some other thoughtful gifts available, whether it be a gift for the child, a gift that can be used after the meal, or a relaxing gift for her... or him!
Below I have put together some wonderful affordable gifts** available from Summer's Dawn to bring with you.
A 'must have' after the big meal!

Numi Tea
Pu-erh teas are known in China as "medicinal teas". Pu-erh tea has unique benefits that the other teas do not. In particular, pu-erh helps decrease blood cholesterol levels and improves fat metabolism. In Chinese culture, Pu-erh is drunk with Dim-sum as a digestive for it's ability to break down fat, and is perfect after larger meals, i.e. Thanksgiving...
Many coffee drinkers enjoy pu-erh's rich, deep flavors. Since pu-erh tea has less caffeine than coffee, it is a great alternative for those looking to decrease caffeine intake but still like a full bodied beverage. Pu-erh tea also provides health benefits not found in coffee and is a great addition to anyone's diet. One cup of pu-erh tea with each meal has shown to stimulate weight loss. Pu-erh tea will balance the body's systems and stimulate a more functional metabolism.

With the addition of wheat germ and vitamin E, it assures your skin will be left soft, smooth and replenished. Also, you only need a small amount to get the job done. Because Pur-Essence contains no water, you are buying a concentrated product for maximum skin benefit.
