Rather than staying at the airport you can head off to the Sheraton Bandara about 5 minutes by cab away. It's a resort style hotel so you could have something to eat etc., use the pool, have a massage etc., and get out of airport mode.
Otherwise it's about a 45 minute trip into downtown Jakarta (depending on traffic maybe 90 minutes) where you can attack the great shopping malls.
Have a good time whatever you decide.
