Present Perfect

Givebeauty.com

They call you the Multitaskinator. You’ve got the 60-hour-work-week-kick-boxing-amateur-sushi-chef-still-have-time-for-a-night-cap thing down to a science.

But even you are balking at the latest challenge: Your three pickiest friends have birthdays next week, and you’ve got nary a gift.

Log onto giveBeauty.com, a national online directory of spas, salons, yoga/Pilates centers, dermatologists, medical aestheticians, and personal shoppers. Joan Beeson Healy, creator, award-winning marketing exec, and mother of seven, realized that busy women have little time to shop around for the perfect present. As a remedy she devised the giveBeauty gift card, which can be purchased on her website and used at any of the participating locations.

There are no activation or usage fees, and the card never expires. So you can instantly take care of all your birthday, holiday, and just-being-nice gift needs in a few quick clicks.

And move onto the next task at hand.
