MOH present dilemma

I have bought my MOH and 'maids all earrings for presents (that match their personalities and are for them, not for the wedding). But I want to do something extra for my MOH because she has been a treasure during all this planning. She is the mother of three small children and is also VP of her company (busy lady). I want to get her something that she'll appreciate but isn't wildly expensive. I was thinking a massage or restaurant gift certificate (I'd offer to babysit while she and her husband went out to dinner). Thoughts? Or other suggestions? If one of these options, where are some good places to get spa services or restaurants here in Austin?

    I am a single mom, and all those things sound really nice! I ended up getting mine a really nice handbag that she can travel with. She loved it.

    I really like Viva Day Spa (location on South Lamar and on W. 35th St). I am treating my FMIL to a package there right before the wedding. I think the prices are very reasonable for the experience (soothing, upscale) and they usually have deals on packages. I've also heard good things about Woodhouse Day Spa and milk + honey, but the latter seems pretty pricey.

    Oh, sorry, and restaurants - it depends on where they live and would want to go out. Downtown, there's Paggi House, Moonshine, Z Tejas, Lamberts and Vespaio - all of which are nice but not too expensive and would be fun for young parents (I think.)

    OK here is something that might workout. Usually around the holidays if you sign up for the Melting Pot's emails, they will offer you a free $50-75 gift certificate if you get a 'big night out'. Perhaps you and FI could plan a date night sometime this fall/winter and you could offer the gift certificate for MOH to go out AND you baby sit that night?
    Or if she's OK w/ it you could offer to baby sit for a weekend so they can relax. Thats always the best!
