Group therapy
A bunch of us from the office would like to get a gift for a female colleague and are thinking of a massage or spa treatment. Could you recommend a reputable place, preferably in Central?
Office Politicians, Central
The Dictator rules: A racy gift. I like it. Elemis Day Spa (9/F Century Square, 1 D'Aguilar Street, Central, tel: 2521 6660) is a favourite with ladies of leisure. It offers Swedish ($690, one hour), aromatherapy ($820, 75 minutes) and sport ($820, one hour) massages, and will supply a voucher for the treatment without listing the price, or allow you to pay in increments of $500. The new Leonard Drake Skin Care and Health Spa in Causeway Bay (35/F, Soundwill Plaza, 38 Russell Street, tel: 3156 1181) is worth the short commute. It offers an anti-stress, Swedish-style massage ($680), and an aromatherapy massage using Eve Taylor essential oils ($750). Or you might like to introduce your colleague to the OxySpa oxygen treatment: 30 minutes in a space-capsule-like gizmo whose benefits include body cleansing ($590). You can buy gift vouchers worth $100 or $500. The Retreat at The Firm (15/F, The Centrium, 60 Wyndham Street, Central, tel: 2525 6696) offers massages (from $600) using Espa products and sells $500 vouchers.
Bag of oranges
I'm looking for an orange bag to go with a new orange dress. Where can I find one that will look tasteful?
