'Tis Better to Give

If any of you are still in the throes ot back-to-school shopping, or thinking that this might be a good time to do a little fall shopping for yourself (or score a few end of the season deals for next year) now IS a good time to do it, thanks to Gap's annual "Give and Get" program. Starting tomorrow, the 26th and continuing through Sunday the 29th, you can get 30% off at all Gap and Gap-affiliated stores and websites, including my two favorites: Athleta and Piper Lime.com . AND this also includes Gap outlets, like our very own 518 outlet in Rotterdam. School shoes? End-of-season bathing suit deals at Athleta? Check. Check. Helping those less fortunate and doing good with your dough? Checkkity check check check.

Here's the cool part - for every purchase you make using the Give and Get coupon, Gap will donate 5% to charity. The coupon that I have (and am sharing )benefits the Global Fund, whose mission is to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria in developing countries. Seriously badass.

Here's the rub - use this link for the in-store coupon and e-mail me at upstateandpersonal@gmail.com if you need a copy of the coupon that can be used online.
