Well, with the airline gift certificate I might feel obligated to use it for a flight I would have taken anyway so, while it would be nice to save the money, it wouldn't be much of a treat.
This--I'd probably initially be more excited about the airline thing, but in the end it would be less luxurious. OTOH, if I were strapped for cash, that might not matter. :)
Of course, it took me almost a year to use the movie passes I got from my boss for CHRISTMAS, so...
I kind of want to cry you guys. My toe still hurts after ten days, it's still swollen, it's crooked and I have no idea what to do. I don't have a GP because I changed insurance earlier this year. I kind of just want to go to the hospital but this is obviously not urgent care. I feel stupid for not knowing how medical care works.
I would never use a hotel room in town. I don't see the point, unless you're escaping your children.

Go to urgent care! Which is not the ER! I know there's one in Rockville, and one in Crystal City. Not sure where others are. They're like less than the emergency room, but great if you don't have a doc (or yours is hard to make an appointment with).

Maybe a hotel gift cert for a chain? And tell him the idea is for him to use it in town, but then he has the option to use it out of town as well?
bon, you need to see a doctor. No matter how you accomplish that, you shouldn't feel stupid.
If it were me, I'd pick a GP off the insurance list by location, call and tell the office I was in pain so they would see me quickly. See doctor, get whatever referral or treatment. If I didn't like the doctor, I'd worry about that later.
I love it when corporate sends out an e-mail communication which makes everyone in the company start thinking that they need to go home and update their resumes.

Well, my ER doc friend would say that people come in all the time on much less urgent matters. Actually, I can ask her if she's got med advice for you.
Which toe is it? Did you stub it? Is the skin broken at all or was it just bruised?
I know when I busted one of my baby toes it hurt for a good while (probably at least 10 days) and it's still kind of crooked. I never did anything for it except put ice on it for the first few days after I hit it.
bon, go to urgent care. They'll take good care of you.
I'd dig a night in a fancy local hotel with fancy dinner.Me too! I'd never spend the money on it myself, and I'd really love a getaway that doesn't require the logistics of an out-of-town trip.
Didn't need to be said twice.

Kinda depends on the town. I actually have a longish list of SF hotels that look utterly gorgeous and quirky and fun that I'd love to steal off to with Hec for a seekrit weekend.
