These three out-of-the-box gift packages can’t fit under the tree, but they’ll bring joy anyway
THE WOODLANDS, TX – It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but trying to find the perfect gifts and presents for your loved ones can bring on a Blue Christmas. In truth, there are only so many socks and books one can buy – or electronic devices one can afford – before you might feel you’re singing the same carol, different verse.
Why go tried and traditional when you can really surprise your loved ones this year?
This year, Woodlands Online has a few ideas that might help you get out of the gift-buying rut. Here are three gift ideas that are guaranteed to be original and totally appreciated by your present recipient.
Float your troubles away at Blissful Waters Float Center
We speak from experience when we say this is one hour-long experience that will expand your mind and horizons; our own editor booked a session and still hasn’t stopped talking about it. Blissful Waters Float Center is a mind/body destination providing premium floatation, sensory deprivation and contrast therapy in The Woodlands. Nestled near town center, this serene retreat offers you and your loved ones a place to restore and unplug from your hectic lives.
Blissful Waters’ innovative Floatation Therapy services let you step into your own spacious float room, lie down in the Epsom salt-saturated water, and quiet your mind and body. Let your senses go until you reach a state of peaceful calm. Sound, light and gravity are no longer distractions, allowing you to fully relax and rejuvenate.
Post-float, you can waft along the resulting endorphins in a relaxing rest area with a steaming mug of specially crafted tea. Maybe you’ll even think about following up the float with some Contrast Therapy where you can warm up in the on-site sauna and cool off in The Plunge. Or maybe you’ll want to head to the Mind Body Room where you can enjoy Brain Training Technology and Community Classes to balance your nervous system and defend against the stressors in everyday life.
Float packages start at $89 and are worth every penny, especially at the membership price, so consider going all out when purchasing floats for your loved ones. This gift will go far in giving them peace of mind that will last all year. When you call or book online, tell owner and float coach Melody to give you the special Woodlands Online treatment.

Let things get hairy at Rivela Hair Restoration
On average, we normally lose from 50 to 100 hairs each day. But a significant number of people lose way more than that; by age 50, about 85 percent of men are balding, and even half of all women experience significant hair loss. There are reports and studies galore that talk about the statistics of balding men losing out in the boardroom and the dating pool, so it’s no surprise that many will grab at any hair restoration remedy.
Fortunately, The Woodlands has a center run by experts in the field who can let their clients once again feel the joy of rain falling on their hair and not their scalp.Rivela Hair Restoration is conveniently located near The Woodlands medical district. Led by certified plastic surgeon Lucien Rivela, this center can be a haven to give your loved one – whether they be a balding male or female – some peace of mind and some more fluff to the top of their head.
The Rivela Center offers several hair restoration services, including the NeoGraft FUE (follicular unit extraction) method that offers numerous benefits, including minimal discomfort, no scalp incision to get infected, no sutures or staples, no linear scar to heal or later see or feel, little or no risk of complications, quicker recovery time, fewer activity and sports limitations, and a more natural-looking and natural-feeling result.
We can pretty much guarantee that your gift of hair restoration won’t bruise the ego or hurt the feeling of your loved one, and that instead they’ll thank you for it because they felt uncomfortable about pursuing the option themselves. Call Dr. Rivela to learn more about their procedure packages, and be sure to tell him that Woodlands Online gave you this hairy idea.

Give the gift of (live) music with musician John Vidovic
It’s become increasingly more difficult to give music-themed gifts to loved ones at Christmas. CDs are considered to be as outdated as eight-track tapes (our young readers are encouraged to ask their parents or grandparents about this), iTunes gift cards are impersonal, and even the back-in-style retro vinyl record albums are hitting the shelves at a substantial markup.
Woodlands Online has a music option that is guaranteed to make the music lover in your life love you even more: a house concert by singer/musician John Vidovic. This gentleman is a composer, arranger, guitarist and private instructor for guitar, piano, theory, and composition. John knows his music, having received one degree from UCLA and two advanced degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in Composition, plus spending two summers studying in Paris at La Schola Cantorum. Not only is he available for all kinds of music instruction (in person or online), he can bring the music to you with a personalized house concert. Fill your living room with guests for a mini-concert guaranteed to make you the toast of the neighborhood, or book John to perform a special intimate music evening just for two.
Give John a call and tell him what kind of house concert (or music lesson) you’re looking for, and tell him that Woodlands Online is still waiting for him to compose their rousing theme song.
