3. You deserve a break! During the hurried holiday season, it's rare to see shopping and relaxation go hand-in-hand. That's what makes Ladies' Night Out special. You'll be able to shop a little, enjoy a quick massage, shop a little more, have a mini-salon treatment or a drink, shop … you get the picture.
4. Complimentary appetizers, desserts and drink while you shop. Hors d'oeuvres, treats and a drink are included in your ticket price to keep you satisfied as you shop.
