treat for mom with 2U2

I have a friend who's having a difficult time right now.  She has a difficult mother, a high maintenance husband, and 2 under 2.

What would be a good treat for her?

I'd love to get her something that is just for her or just about her.  

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    Maybe a gift certificate for a mani and/or pedi? I know I would have loved that! :)

    Spa day or half day. I am a soon-to-be mom of 2U2 with a hubby that works long long hours and not too much help, and recently used my DHs anniversary gift to me that was a "Ladys Day Away" package from a local spa. 45 min massage, 15 min foot treatment, mini facial, scalp massage and a lunch without someone trying to escape a highchair or pull food off my plate. It was AWESOME.

    I would say either spa day or maybe a girls day with shopping and lunch or dinner, if she has someone to watch the LOs. If not, maybe you could offer to watch them (if you're close by) while she goes to the spa.

    1st question... does she have someone to watch her LOs? 

    i wouldnt waste your $$ on a mani or pedi if she wont go out w/o the kids! if noone will watch the LOs now you may say well her DH or MIL can get off thier a$$ and watch the LOs i would think about this! if DH or MIL will throw a huge fit then its not worth having them watch the LOs bc she will just be stressed while she is out!

    I would offer to watch her LOs and send her out either by herself for a massage or something or find someone you she would trust and get them to watch the LOs and you both just go out for coffee or dinner!

    As a mom of twins with noone to watch the LOs i would CHERISH some time with a cup of coffee and quiet and a good friend! Id rather that than a massage to be honest.  if she is a SAHM she may have little to no interaction with adults besides DH. 

    your a sweet friend and GL

    I agree that lunch or dinner out w/ you would be nice, at least for me... maybe dinner b/c then her H would be home perhaps? OR if you want to do something for her & her H, babysit & give them a gift card to a good restaurant to go on a date...

    I also don't have family nearby to watch our kids so we have to get sitters to do anything and the nights I go to my book group or once in awhile do something w/ girl friends are so nice, something I used to be able to do all the time & now don't get to do often, much better than the mani/ped/spa stuff for me, personally.
