Seriously? EVERY store I visit will put ANOTHER free gift in my bag? And I get to sample even MORE recipes?

 

You know, in all the excitement I didn’t even realize that this place is having a SALE today!

 

Wait a minute… It looks like just about all 12 stores are doing some kind of special promotion today. Raffles, door prizes, discounts!

 

This really IS a dream! I haven’t felt this special in a long, long time.”

 

It isn’t a dream, it is Holiday Shop Hop 2009, and this is your exclusive invitation to

participate in this annual event!

 

Start at any of the 12 shops in this mailer. Get your free shopping bag, your free gift and recipe. Pick up some bargains. Have fun shopping and dining with your friends!

 

On to the next stop! Another free gift and recipe! Another fun shopping experience!

 

Visit all 12 shops and the last shop will enter you into the Grand Prize drawing.

 

The number of bags and gifts is limited, so start early! You can still enter the Grand Prize drawing even if you don’t get a shopping bag - just make sure you visit all 12 shops at the 2009 Holiday Shop Hop!

I must be dreaming…

 

“I walk through the front door of a quaint little shop, my best friends in tow.

 

The smell of something delicious hits my senses.

 

Mmmm… Whatever it is - I have to have it!

 

Hey - they’re sampling something over there. Look! In the corner!

 

Really? Not only do I get a taste, but you’re going to give me the recipe? How cool is that?!

 

Oh gosh… Look at all the Holiday decor in this place! Isn’t this simply the most FUN time of year to shop?

 

Oh! Look at the cute shopping bag they gave me! It looks like a travel case with 12 countries on it!

 

Wait! Those aren’t countries… they’re local stores! Here’s a map, showing where all 12 stores are

located!

 

There’s a free gift in this bag too? Its fabulous!

 

Hey! Listen up you guys! If we visit all 12 stores today, and get this little map stamped, we get to enter our names into a Grand Prize drawing!

 

The prize? A gift certificate to each and every one of the 12 stores! That’s got to be worth

HUNDREDS of dollars!
