Sweet Relaxation
It’s worth the drive to treat her to the ultimate in luxury at PA’s (and perhaps the country’s) most famous “chocolate spa.” The chocolate-lover in her won’t be able to resist a sweet-scented Whoopie Pie Mani and Pedi, followed by a decadent massage with whipped Whoopie shea butter—and all without a single calorie. And if you want to follow-up with a shopping op, you can hit up the 43 Tanger Outlet Malls on your way back.

Garden Guru

After all, that’s what Mom really wants—just to spend some time with you!
