Haiti Relief Polo, $98-$110 with 100 percent of proceeds to benefit the United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund (ralphlauren.com)
Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you enjoyed Devon’s post on Valentine’s Day gift ideas yesterday; I know I did! If you missed it, here you go. As for today, I thought perhaps nothing could be more fitting for the day before Friday then some wonderful weekend deals. After all, the forecasters are calling for some brisk weather over the next little bit, and one thing that always heats things up is a sizzling sale, right?
Okay, first of all, speaking of sizzling, if you’ve been eying a waffle maker for a while, wait no more to add one to your arsenal. All All-Clad waffle makers at williams-sonoma.com have been discounted up to $100! Plus, they currently ship for free!
And, what could make one feel better than even a delicious, hot waffle? Helping out those less fortunate, of course, and Polo Ralph Lauren wants to help make doing so all the more enjoyable. The company recently unveiled The Haiti Relief Polo Shirt, which comes in red, blue, white or black. Selling for $98 to $100 each, 100 percent of proceeds from sales of the shirts will aid the humanitarian efforts in Haiti through the United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund.
As for additional online offers, bebe.com is offering $5 standard shipping site-wide for a limited time; hallmark.com is offering a buy one, get one free offer on Valentine’s Day cards today and tomorrow (Should you wish for them to, they’ll even sign, stamp and send them!); and luckybrand.com is offering $25 discounts on orders of $125 or more and $50 discounts on orders of $200 or more all weekend long.
And locally the sales are promising to be very, very special, too! Two places certainly worth trekking to this weekend: Madisonbelle in Leesburg and Treat in Old Town Alexandria. At Madisonbelle, today through Saturday, all sale items are 50 to 75 percent off! And, at Treat, Saturday only, everything will be discounted an additional 30 percent off regular sample sale prices, which means total savings of up to 80 percent!
Happy shopping! Stay warm!
Ps. What’s everyone think about the new iPad?
