Christmas Staff Treat Ideas for London Offices: Why Chair Massage Beats Another Hamper
December in a London office is a strange mix of celebration and exhaustion. There are parties and Secret Santas, but also year-end deadlines, client deliverables and a long list of things to finish before the break.
If you want to thank your team this Christmas, an on-site chair massage day is a thoughtful alternative to another hamper or voucher.
Why chair massage makes a great Christmas treat
It’s an experience, not another thing
Most people don’t need another candle or box of chocolates. A chair massage is something they’ll remember and talk about.
It helps at the busiest time of year
Year-end pressure is real. A 15-minute break in the middle of a hectic week is a genuine gift.
Everyone can take part
Chair massage is fully clothed, needs no special clothing and takes very little time, so it works for most people. Unlike an evening party, it doesn’t rely on people staying late or drinking.
It’s easy to organise
No venue to book and no deliveries to chase. We bring everything to your office.
Festive ideas for using chair massage
- The “12 days of wellbeing”: add a chair massage day to a festive programme of small daily treats.
- A December thank-you day: tell staff in advance so they have something to look forward to.
- At the Christmas party: set up a relaxation corner at your party venue or office celebration.
- For hybrid teams: schedule it on a busy office day to encourage people to come in and see colleagues.
- Client events: add a chair massage station to festive client drinks or open houses.
Tips for booking in December
- Book early. December dates are the most popular of the year, especially the first two weeks.
- Pick a quieter day. Midweek is often best, avoiding the day after the Christmas party.
- Share our online booking system in advance so everyone gets a slot.
- Tell your building. Most London buildings need visitor details ahead of time.
Thinking beyond Christmas
January can be just as tough, with dark mornings, post-holiday workloads and the infamous “Blue Monday”. Many teams book a festive session and then a January reset session to start the year well.
