Holiday Happenings at Kiskadee

It’s that time of year again…so many activities…so little time. I personally love it, but I know it can be overwhelming. Thanksgiving falls late this year, so it’s good to know what is coming up so you can plan it all out. Get out those planners and put these fun events in there. We’d love to see you for one or all of them!To kick off the holiday season, Kiskadee is having a gift card event. Starting November 22nd - November 27th, you’ll receive an extra $10 for every $50 gift card purchased. What better way to surprise someone special?! Next up is Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. We will have our amazing sale going on Friday: 40 percent off 8 - 9am, 30 percent off 9 - 10am and then 20 percent off the rest of the day. For small business Saturday, we will have a free gift with any purchase of $50 or more. Next up is our Sunday Manday on December 8th. Ladies, come in anytime starting now to make a wish list and then send your significant other in to shop for you. It will be 12 - 5pm, and there will be food and beverages to entice them. My husband will also have the fire pit going in the back so they can kick back and relax too. Of course, we will also have a special discount that day just for them.On Thursday, December 12th is the Ladies Night Out in Del Ray. This is one of my favorite local events. I loved it as a customer, and I love it as a retailer. It’s so fun to see everyone stroll around from store to store while enjoying discounts, snacks, and of course, beverages. This year we will have something extra special happening in the store! It’s a surprise.  Another fun event in Del Ray is the Candy Cane Bar Crawl on Saturday, December 14th. Proceeds will go to Community Lodgings which is an incredible Alexandria nonprofit that works to lift families out of homelessness and into self-sufficiency through transitional housing, affordable housing, and youth education programs. For the event, Kiskadee is sponsoring an Ugly Sweater Contest. Details forthcoming.Last but not least, we will be doing our 12 Days of Kiskadee. It was such a success last year that we decided to do it again with lots of fun new presents. So, starting on December 13th - December 24th, I will offer a special each day. We will announce the special each night for the next day on Instagram and also via email. Stay tuned.Looking forward to seeing you all!
