Picking out and paying up with a drink in hand is always preferable to slogging through the same old mall stops, I think. Luckily, there’s still time to get on the guest list for these festive, get-it-done shopping soirées:
Cocktail Shopping Event
Friday, December 6; 5 to 9 pm
FREE to attend; RSVP to lisa@spca914.org
With 10 percent off at Desires by Mikolay in Chappaqua throughout the evening, it’s a great opportunity to finish up your gift list—or go ahead and treat yourself. Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while you shop; plus, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the SPCA of Westchester.
Holiday Dinner & Boutique at The Woman’s Club of White Plains
Tuesday, December 10; 6 to 8:30 pm
$40 advance/at the door; RSVP to Margaret Eiden at (914) 948-8864
Organized by Heather Adessa, owner of Glo Beauty Bar in Mamaroneck, this evening of charitable fundraising at The Woman’s Club of White Plains combines shopping and supper—inclusive of wine and dessert. Bring one or more toys for a child in need and receive a complimentary raffle ticket for each.
A gaggle of local vendors are lined up to showcase stylish and affordable gifts, like: handbags, scarves, and wallets; $30-and-under jewelry; baskets and other gifts for kids, guys, or your hostess; $25 evening dresses in all sizes; wine totes and accessories; workout/yoga-wear; handmade clutches and other items; gourmet olive oil; and more.
