The best present a person can receive is love, but the second-best present is a box of puppies wrapped in money. Give a gift that is almost as good as a money-wrapped dog box with today's Groupon: for $49, you get an express holiday package, which includes a sauna starter, express facial, express manicure, and express pedicure (an $100 value), at Sableux Salon & Spa in Crestview Hills.

Begin your relaxifying retreat to Sableux Salon & Spa with a steamy sauna session, which will lure toxins out of pores so that skin is as pure as the Queen's imagination. Then Sableux Salon & Spa's talented team of pampering professionals will go to work depurating pores and evening skin pigment during an express facial, which is designed to nourish cheeks weathered from Winter slapping them with its wind hands. An express manicure and pedicure puts the finishing touches on your newly refurbished form, readying fingers and toes for grabbing holiday cookies.
