I'm an anti-spa girl, guess i'm in the minority. I got a certificate a few years back... never used it. Paying $$$ for a pedicure to listen to someone talk about me for 30 minutes in a different language, then $$$ for a stranger to touch me in weird uncomfortable places, and a hair cut I really don't need, not to mention all the crap products they want you to buy afterwards. Ugh.
What I would appreciate is some EFFORT. Effort to do something I have to do on a daily basis like get up early with the kids, or make their school lunches. Or Take charge of dinner, AND clean up afterwards. Etc, etc. then send me to bed with a box of chocolate and a bottle of wine, and I guarantee it would be an explosive evening.
