Not sure what to put on you holiday wish list? How about a bit of Botox? Women are now getting the gift of plastic surgery for the holidays, because nothing says "I love you, Merry Christmas," like a gift certificate to a plastic surgeon. One Chicago-based surgeon started offering gift cards after patients demanded them.


"It's a sign of the times," said Dr. Julian Few," who likes to refer to himself as "Few" (seriously, just "Few"). Women can choose the amount of money the want to give, and then lucky recipients can choose the service they want to put it toward, be it Botox, other injectibles, laser hair removal or peels. Really serious gift-givers can elect to spend big bucks on new products like Voluma, which is a brand new filler that supposedly lasts twice as long as others.

And surprise, surprise, women aren't the only ones who are cashing in their certificates: Dr. Few says about a third of all his holiday gift certificate users are men. [Elle]
