spa packages
Getting a gift for someone who has everything can be a daunting task. I love my mom, but she is one of these high maintenance people and she seems to get everything she wants. I guess that is an important thing for she is about to hit the big 50 and she is a really great mom and deserves the best. I really want to do something special for her, and thought it would be really nice to plan a mother and daughter weekend getaway. I really don't have a huge amount of money saved, and with the price of air travel and gasoline, I really wasn't sure how to make the most of our weekend together without spending an arm and a leg. I was out to dinner with my best friend Cari and was telling her about her dilemma and she helped me come up with the perfect solution. She said that a few years ago her mom got the two of them spa packages and that they had a blast. She said they got mud baths and massages. She said the spa had yoga and meditation sessions and that they truly did enjoy their time together. She said it was a great weekend of bonding and eating fruit by the pool and it was time together that she would never forget.
The spa they went to was local enough that it wouldn't cost a fortune to get there and so I gave them a call. They had so many packages to choose from, I couldn't decide over the phone, so they directed me to their website where I could get a handle on the different packages, what they offered and the different prices. Some were very reasonable, and some were out of this world expensive. In any case, after mulling it over for a few days, I finally decided on a package for us, which included massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. I didn't want to over book our time there or I was afraid it would not be relaxing and I really just wanted us to have some time together just hanging by the pool and sunbathing. Once I set everything up, I decided to call mom. I didn't want to tell her exactly what we were doing, so I just told her to have a bag packed and I told her what to bring for a weekend getaway. She spent half the phone conversation giggling and I thought it was really cute. I know that she is really excited and I know that we are going to have a great birthday celebration.
