Massage?

A sweet parent wrote me a note and gave me some money on the 1st day of  school.  She said to spend on the classroom or even on myself ie dinner. I'm thinking towards a massage. Isn't that a nice way to spend it on my classroom? I'm relaxed and happy so they will be happy right?! 
Grateful for the unexpected gifts like the money but more importantly a smooth first day with my kids. They were sweet especially when one mom walked out of the room. The little boy started crying and I walked him to his space. I asked if he needed another hug and he put his arms around my neck and squeezed. 
I almost cried with him.
