Give Mom a Smart Gift with Smartbox

Your Mom deserves a break today. So treat her to an escape in a box.

Smartbox comes in a CD-size box featuring a color guidebook with full details of each activity or escape.

As the gift-giver you select the type of escape (Fun for All, Adventure, Serenity, Charming Getaways, Adrenaline, or Gourmet Retreats) and the region (Northeast & Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Great Lakes, Texas, and California) and the recipient makes the reservation for her Smartbox getaway directly with the establishment.

The clever gift offers over 1,600 packages and prices starting at only $49. With 150 indulgent spa treatments to pick from, I'd love to give my Mom a "Serenity" package for the Northeast ($119).

For Mother's Day, Smartbox is offering free standard delivery on any standard package ordered on its website until Sunday (delivery not guaranteed for 5/9/10 on any order placed after 5/3/10). So don't delay, order today!
