Things to buy your mother for Christmas: a day at the spa

According to our friends at truth.travel, New York’s Peninsula Hotel is offering a killer deal on a big spa package:

• One 60-minute treatment (either a holistic massage—choose from aromatherapy, deep tissue, Swedish, hot stone, or tension relief—an intensive facial, or a sunless tanning session)
• One 15-minute treatment, your choice between an express facial or a scalp massage
• A bento-box lunch of tofu, chicken, or poached salmon with fruits and vegetables
• Two travel-size ESPA products such as moisturizer or therapeutic tea tree gel

The whole thing will run you $261 (including taxes); all components separately add up to $422.

Buy this for your mom for Christmas. Don’t bother with the Coach bag. She doesn’t like Coach as much as you think she does. Really.
