Sales, Sales, Sales & Other Delights

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, May 8th, 2009

Good morning, shoppers, and T.G.I.F.! At last the sun is back in action! Yes!

Another reason for major celebration: sales, sales, sales — especially for those of you who have been procrastinators when it comes to buying a gift for Mom.

Also, amazing news for those of you who entered our Win Your Mom a Makeover Essay Contest. The super-generous Pink Karma Salon and Spa has actually selected four winners! The ultimate winner will receive the “Day at the Spa” package worth over $600, and the three additional winners will each receive a shampoo and blow dry, massage, manicure and pedicure! The winning essay writers will be contacted today.

Back to those sales, ready and waiting for everyone, first of all, don’t forget to check out the shopping  splendor at Vienna’s Valerianne, where you’ll receive 10 percent off your first purchase when you mention “SWAG.”

Other places where amazing items and discounts are currently up for grabs:

At Farinelli’s, in Clarendon, today through Sunday (Mother’s Day), you’ll receive 25 percent off denim and 50 percent off all of your fave women’s designers such as Vena Cava! The offer is also up for grabs online at shopfarinellis.com. To receive 50 percent off women’s fashions, enter the code “mothersday09″ and for the 25 percent off denim, enter “mothersdayjeans.” Now if that’s not a sale, I don’t know what is!

Tysons Galleria is home to a lot of hot sales right now, too. One of the hottest: BoConcept is offering 50 percent off nightstands or 30 percent off a mattress when you buy a new bed between now and May 30.

Another place to grab great deals is The Limited, where everything is buy one, get 50 percent of another item, both in stores and online, through Sunday.

If you prefer to do your shopping online, be sure to check out ebates.com before making your purchases. The amazing site has increased their rebates significantly at a number of popular stores in celebration of Mother’s Day. Examples: You’ll receive 12 percent cash back at Lancome (up from six percent), eight percent at Sephora (up from four percent), 15 percent at Teleflora (up from six percent) and 15 percent from 1-800-Flowers (usually 5 percent).

And, of course, don’t forget the amazing sales mentioned earlier this week, like the spectacular sale at Cusp!

Happy Shopping! Have a great weekend!
