Hello friends,
It’s that time of year! Summer, yes… but also… The Georgia Straight’s 2010 Best of Vancouver Poll is here once again. And guess what? With your help, Pebble can be ranked tops in the Best Toy Store and Best Baby/Toddler Store categories.
Voting is easy:
1) Go to www.straight.com/bov and sign up.
2) Write ‘Pebble’ in the Best Toy Store and Best Baby/Toddler Store categories. (Best Toy Store is under the ‘Living’ Section; Best Baby/Toddler Store is under the ‘Style Section’.)
Of course, if you don’t think we belong in the Top 3, please let us know what you think we could do to improve! If you vote in a minimum of 25 categories, you will be entered in a draw for a $3000 travel voucher for a dream vacation!
But hurry, because your window of opportunity is almost as short as a Vancouver summer… Voting ends July 29 at 5pm.
We’re having a party! (Plus a store-wide sale)
Pebble is turning two! And what’s a birthday without a party? Join us Thursday, July 29 from 10AM – 8PM as we celebrate two years of fantastic customers, great local suppliers and new friends. We’re talking lemonade, mini cupcakes and a whole bunch of fun stuff, including:
• Red Fish Kids Clothing designer Lorraine Kitsos will be joining us to offer gorgeous
limited edition and one-of-a-kind items – all locally made, of course.
• Cici Art Factory artist Liz Clay will be on site from 4pm – 8pm customizing
her prints for free — and giving away a pack of Cici gift cards with the purchase of any canvas print.
• Giveaways! Two lucky shoppers will win $50 pebble gift certificates for attending our event.
• And just in case you missed it, our first-ever store-wide sale!
Not to mention balloons, face painting and much more. So come on and join us for the fun! And if you have any questions, just
give us a shout.
Just a reminder that even Canada Post’s most generous deadlines are fast approaching (or as they refer to them, “Suggested Mailing Dates”). You can check out the entire list over here, but these are the most immediate ones:
Air Parcel to USA - Friday, Dec 4
XPress Post to Europe, Asia, Australia & NZ – Monday, Dec 7
Regular Parcel within Canada – Friday, Dec 11
And of course, if your parcel doesn’t arrive at your loved ones’ door before Christmas, you know it probably won’t show up until about a week after. To some people that matters while to others, meh! Not so much. It’s the thought that counts after all, right?
But if you happen to be one of those people for whom it matters, and you happen to still be searching for that perfect gift, we know a great children’s store that will do everything possible to help you make sure it arrives on time.
Happy 24 Days Until Christmas!
