Fruit and Flowers
Top-to-toe pampering is the order of the day at Chuan Spa with its “Luscious Lady” package that’s available from now until the end of May. Start with a rose hydrating facial, followed by a fruit-infused back scrub, a back neck and shoulder massage, and finally a foot cleansing ritual.

Here’s another fab gift deal. The Excelsior’s Wellness Centre has a great deal where you can redeem a free seven-piece Aromatherapy Associates anti-aging introductory set worth $490 when you book an anti-aging repair facial treatment for $1,050. The promotion is valid between now and May 16.

Double Trouble
Who’s to say you can’t treat mom and get a little something for yourself? We love the Mother’s Day package available at The Mandarin Oriental Spa. Choose either a 90-minute massage or facial in a double spa suite, and then enjoy a mini-manicure plus a shampoo and blow-dry at the Mandarin Salon. And as if the deal needed any more sweetening, you’ll be treated to champagne and chocolates too. The treatment costs $2,100 per person and is available throughout May.

Feeling Rosy
Classic but modern, Paul Smith’s Rose fragrance is perfect for moms who prefer a classic, simple scent but hate old-fashioned fragrances. The scent is created with wild Turkish rose oil with green tea, violet and magnolia to complement it. A touch of cedar tones temper the sweetness, making it wearable for all occasions. $598 available from FACES, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, 3102-1680.
