A C3 gift card is money on the menu, not a booking you have chosen for somebody else. They spend it on whatever they want, whenever they want, and they book it themselves. It arrives by email, so buying it at eleven at night still works.
Delivered by email. Any amount. Spendable on anything on the menu.
Why this is the safe one
Buying somebody a specific spa treatment is a small gamble. You are guessing at pressure, at whether they like facials, at whether a stranger touching their shoulders is relaxing or excruciating. Get it wrong and they have to be polite about it.
A gift card removes the guess entirely. You choose a number. They choose the hour, the therapist and the treatment, on a day that suits them. If they want a 90-minute deep tissue instead of the facial you nearly bought, they just book that.
It also means they never see the price of what you spent unless you tell them, which is the other half of what makes gift buying awkward.
Where it can be spent
The card holds a balance rather than a named service. That balance goes against whatever they book.
If the treatment they choose costs more than the card, they pay the difference at the desk. If it costs less, the balance stays on the card for next time. Nothing is lost by picking something small first.
How much to put on it
Round numbers look arbitrary on a card. Pricing it against something on the menu tells them what it actually buys, which takes the awkwardness out of using it.
| Amount | What it covers outright | Price |
|---|---|---|
| $15 | One 15-minute salt and sound booth session | $15 |
| $70 | A 60-minute Photo Glow Facial | $70 |
| $110 | A 60-minute massage: Swedish, therapeutic or deep tissue | $110 |
| $150 | A 90-minute massage, the length people ask for twice | $150 |
| $155 | A 60-minute massage and a facial, on separate visits | $155 |
| Your own figure | Any custom amount, above or below these | You choose |
The $150 card is the one worth knowing about. Ninety minutes is the length where a massage stops feeling rushed, and most people will not book it for themselves.
Getting it to them
Buy it online and the card is emailed out. There is no card in the post, no stock to run out of, and no shop to reach before closing. A birthday you remembered at nine in the evening is still recoverable.
You can have it sent straight to them with a short note, or sent to your own inbox so you can hand it over yourself. Print it, forward it, or read the code out over the phone. Any of those work.
If you would rather buy it at the desk, come to 3001 Hillsborough Street, Suite 124, during opening hours and somebody will set it up while you wait.
What they do with it
Your recipient books online at the booking page like anybody else, or calls the desk. They give the card number at checkout and the balance comes off the bill.
Nothing needs arranging with you. You do not have to be there, coordinate a date, or chase them about using it. That is the difference between a gift card and a booked appointment, and it is why the card is the easier gift to receive.
One exception is worth knowing before you write the note. A couples massage needs two therapists in the same room at once, so it has to be arranged by phone rather than booked online. Tell them to call if that is what you have in mind.
Before you buy
No expiry date is printed on a C3 Wellness Spa gift card, and federal rules set a floor of five years from the date the money was loaded. The current terms are shown at checkout, so read them on the screen before you pay if the date matters to you.
Yes. Enter any figure you like at checkout. The suggested amounts on this page are anchored to real treatments so you know what the card buys, but a custom number works exactly the same way.
By email, usually within a few minutes of purchase. Send it straight to the recipient with a note, or to your own inbox so you can print it or hand it over yourself. There is no physical card in the post.
They pay the difference at the desk on the day. If the treatment costs less, the remaining balance stays on the card and can be used on a later visit. Nothing is wasted by starting with something small.
Gift card balances are intended for treatments and retail. If you want to give somebody a block of prepaid hours instead, the Flex Pass is transferable and can be handed to anyone, which a monthly membership cannot.
Yes. Come to 3001 Hillsborough St, Ste 124, Raleigh NC 27607 during opening hours and the front desk will set one up while you wait. Open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 12pm to 6pm.
That is the strongest reason to give a card rather than a booking. They pick a treatment and a length they are comfortable with, and their therapist talks them through what happens before anything starts.
Yes. You can enter any custom amount at checkout. Common anchors at C3 Wellness Spa in Raleigh are $15 for a salt booth session, $70 for a Photo Glow Facial, $80 for a 60-minute massage and $135 for a 90-minute massage.
By email, usually within a few minutes of purchase. It can be sent straight to the recipient with a note or to your own inbox to print or forward. There is no physical card posted, so a C3 Wellness Spa gift card works as a last-minute gift in Raleigh.
The card holds a balance rather than a fixed package, so it can be spent on anything on the menu at C3 Wellness Spa in Raleigh: massage, facials, the salt and sound booth, waxing, body treatments, IV therapy and retail products.
The recipient pays the difference at the front desk of C3 Wellness Spa on the day. If the treatment costs less than the card, the remaining balance stays on the card and can be used on a later visit.
The recipient books it themselves, online or by calling (919) 616-7868, and gives the card number at checkout. The buyer does not need to arrange a date. A couples massage at C3 Wellness Spa in Raleigh must be booked by phone because it needs two therapists in one room.
Yes. The front desk at C3 Wellness Spa, 3001 Hillsborough St, Ste 124, Raleigh NC 27607, will set one up while you wait. The spa is open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 12pm to 6pm.
Emailed within minutes, spendable on anything on the menu, booked by them on a day that suits.
