The Christmas List: Spa Gifts for the Beauty Illiterate

Posted by Nina Lalli at 8:03 AM, December 4, 2007

Full disclosure: The founders of Lifebooker, a new website which is like Open Table, but for spas, are friends of Threadster's. For the holidays, they have gift certificates, which means you can give your mom a massage without a) rubbing her anywhere, or b) having to figure out whether she wants reflexology or aromatherapy. Or she could decide to book some acupuncture or a fake tan or a Brazilian—ew—instead.

If you're not feeling the holiday spirit just yet, you might be more interested in this link, which tells you how to get $50 off any spa treatment through the website. You look like you could use an Ayurvedic Baltic Mud Wrap or something.

Good Advice...when in doubt, just send her to a spa. I know I would love it. I would want to leave the certificate open ended though. I don't want someone else deciding what treatment I would get.

I agree, a trip to the spa is always a good mom gift... they'd usually rather be pampered than have another gift sitting on the shelf. Facials in particular are big hits with moms. http://www.JuliB.com is generally a good place to find out about spas.
