Seventeen texts and two cramped thumbs later, my sister and I have finally decided on mom’s holiday gift: an after-the-holidays spa weekend.

Mom is ecstatic. Apparently this is way better than the year we bought her pots and pans.

We aren’t the only brilliant family out there. Travel + Leisure ranked the 10 Coziest U.S. Spas for escaping the worst of winter this time two years ago, and CNN had the scoop last year on five of the best spas for holiday detox. This year, I’ve got to note the deals, which are unbelievable on spa packages for “the ladies” (as Dad would say).

My picks for this year’s post-holiday getaway:

Cloister at Sea Island, Simons Island, Georgia
The Spa Essentials Package adds a massage and facial to a seaside cottage on five miles of private beach for $375 per person. (And if that website image of the horseback ride on the beach doesn’t sell you, nothing will.)

Willow Stream, The Spa at Fairmont, Scottsdale, Arizona
This Original Winter deal is simply incredible: lodging rates discounted to $199 per person per night until April 15—that’s 50 percent off the usual!

Sundara Inn and Spa, Wisconsin Dells
The Girlfriends Spa Therapy Special includes massage, pedicure, dinner, buffet, and accommodations in a private villa for $199 per person. (Plus, you’ll be deep in Dells territory, so if mommy wants to go to a giant water park afterward…)

Silverado Resort, Napa, California
Spa Girl Package includes a fireplace suite, 50-minute spa treatment, breakfast, and a complimentary wine tasting for $250 per person. Did I just say complimentary wine tasting? Yes, I did.
