Specials in your email inbox every day,
December 3—15, 2012!
Each morning, you'll receive an email announcing that day's promotion. If you want to take advantage of the discount, all you have to do is reply to our e-mail or stop by the shop and say "Stuff My Stocking," and we'll put that item in your stocking bag. At the end of the 12 days, you (or Santa) will be able to stop by and pick up your stocking stuffed with all your goodies! We can also
ship your stocking to you. We will be offering flat rate $7.50 shipping for customers who would like their stocking shipped to them at the end of the event. Stockings can be picked up beginning on December 20th, and the deadline for picking up your stocking will be Saturday, December 22nd. We do require a credit card number on file so that you can be charged appropriately at the end of the promotion. Please do not send your credit card information by email. Call us with your information: Rochester 507-226-8480 or Decorah 563-382-4646. Quantities are limited to our stock on hand; the first emails received will get their stocking stuffed. You will receive email confirmation if we put any items in your stocking.
Feel free to take advantage of one, two, three or all twelve specials - it's up to you! Each promotion is good for that day only, so your "Stuff my Stocking" e-mail must be received before midnight. This is a great way to reward yourself this holiday season, a great idea for holiday gifts, or maybe a great way to have someone else (spouse, child) stuff your stocking; you know you'll appreciate the gift and it will still be a surprise on Christmas morning! The first day of Christmas will start on Monday, December 3rd so be sure to check your inbox that morning!
