    Baccarat Spring Sample Sale

    Going to Edison, NJ for some glass may seem a bit far but I know people who’ve flown to Paris to just to pick up a Baccarat chandelier– and it wasn’t even on sale!

    Edison is a bit closer than France and the prices will probably be a bit lighter on the pocket. On Friday and Saturday (April 24 and 25), Baccarat is hosting a sample sale, which will include stemware, barware, vases, decorative pieces, jewelry and gift selections all up to 80% off.

    There will even be some of the crystal chandeliers that lined the streets of Rodeo Drive as part of the annual holiday chandelier display. Sale are details below:

    Bloomingdales 50% to 75% Off

    The following is from a Bloomingdales postcard:

    First Offer
    Thursday to Sunday, April 16 to 19
    Take an Extra
    40% Off*
    almost all permanently reduced items for her and him for a total savings of 50% to 75% off original prices.

    Plus, take 25% -40% off* a selection of regular-priced fashions for her and him.

    *Lots of small print. Here are the highlights: Certain designer and brand exclusions apply. Excludes Women’s Designer Collections and Men’s Tailored Clothing. I’m going to take a wild guess that Chanel is one of those “certain designer and brand exclusions.”

    Barneys Spend and Get

    These gift card promotions are starting to feel a lot like a Macy’s one day sale. Their popularity, however, indicates that they drive sales.

    This time the gift card is coming from Barneys where for every $250 you spend, you receive a $25 gift card. Spend $250 get $25. Spend $500, get $50. Spend $750, get $75. You get the picture. The promotion runs from April 16th to April 19th.

    This seems to be a big week for department store promotions and unless you’re shopping Lanvin go for the Saks friends and family 25% off discount.
