Have a spa party! Have 5 stations: manicure, pedicure, facials, hair and gift shop! Assign one station to each guest. Have magazines to read while getting things done and snacks to munch on! SO HAVE FUN
Don't forget ice water with lemon for each person. And make sure unscented candles are everywhere and the lights are kept low for max relaxation.
Also, an easy and inexpensive way to pamper is to have hand towels kept warm (can microwave them or wrap them in a heated blanket or pads) and spray them with a little pillow spray (can pick up some from Bath and Body Works - I LOVE tranquil mint, but lavender is really nice, too) before laying them around your guest's neck.
If you can sew at all, another easy thing to make is eye pillows (appx 2.5 x 7 inch rectangle), filled with jasmine rice, lavender, crushed rosemary, mint tea leaves, etc. Make sure the fabric used is soft and has a tight weave or, even better: line with a tight weaved fabric. Can microwave these for 20 sec. to bring out the scent. You can take this idea as far as you want - even making u-shaped neck wraps with rice and herb filling.

Even more fun if you invite a Body Shop @ Home Consultant!
