All those good deeds can wreak havoc on the muscles. This acacia wood Total Body Massager from the Body Shop has two sets of roller balls to knead out tension. The massager provides muscle relief, and the fact that its purchase supports the Teddy Trust, which promotes HIV and AIDS awareness, means she'll even be socially conscious when she's relaxing.
