Please join us for a night out in West Queen West for the 2nd Annual

QUEEN OF HEARTS

A Valentine’s Romance with West Queen West

Thursday February 11th from 6-9pm.

After last year’s roaring success the Queen of Hearts Stroll is back!

Valentines Day is nearly here and the shops along Queen West are heating things up!

Have some ‘refreshments’ and tour some of Toronto’s best boutiques.  When you complete the tour you will receive a gift package + discounts worth over $400, brought to you by a few special shops on Queen West.

Visit our 15 special shops (look for the attached poster in the window), mention the promotion and have a cocktail. You will receive the Queenof Hearts passport (provided at the first store on your stroll), get your passport stamped, and move on to the next boutique. Each shop has a special gift or promotion which you can receive once the passport is stamped by any 10 of the boutiques . Once the passport has ten stamps, it has a value of over $400 (valid until Feb 28, 2009). Not bad for a night of festive fun. Use the package for Valentine’s Day gifts or towards your own February frolicking.

The Queen of Hearts Boutiques are:

Greenshag, Cabaret, Simon Carter, Cat Tilt, Preloved, Tealish, The Spice Trader, Olive Pit, Ziliotto, Carte Blanche, Charlie, Robber, Heel Boy, Neat, and Type.

Pick up your passport at the first store you visit. Have a complimentary “refreshment”, get your passport stamped and stroll on down to the next store. A minimum of ten stamps entitles you to take part in the special offers going on at each location. Come early and take part in the 2nd Annual Queen of Hearts Stroll.

It’s worth hundreds of dollars in savings and giveaways!

What:

Surplus clothing is holding a clearance sale of all Fall merchandise. At the same time we are introducing our new collections from designers such as DIESEL, Monarchy, Rock and Republic, 7 for all Mankind, Energie, Killah, Lucky 7, 55DSL and more…

Aww. Isn’t this sweet? Purchase a $50 gift card from Dove Spa Canada and receive a box with 4 chocolate pieces from Godiva (for yourself or your Honey).

I love getting Spa gift certificates for Valentine’s Day. I prefer them over roses. It’s always nice to receive gifts of pampering and relaxation.

Take a short skin assessment survey and receive a $1.50 discount coupon towards a Jergens lotion.

I’ve used Jergens in the past before and I am curious to try the new and improved versions. It would be fantastic if Jergens came up with an organic line.

Jergens Hydration stations are being set up across the country. To get a free bottle all you have to do is to bring an old bottle of lotion from a competing brand and receive a skin consultation.

Easy freebie!
