It's time for our annual Wish List Soirée!

It's November, so you know that means we are getting ourselves totally jazzed about the upcoming holiday season! We've spent the last few months searching high and low for the best of the best new products to bring into the shop. We do our absolute best to curate a store full of products that we think will inspire you and will bring you joy. We think the months of hard work have paid off and we can't wait for you to see all that we have in-store for this holiday season!

So, what better way to preview and kick-off the season than with our annual

Wish List Event

Thursday, November 20

6:00 - 8:00pm

Just as in years past, we're holding a private shopping soiree for you, our fabulous customers, so that you can see all the new goodies and create a wish-list of your own that we can send to friends/family as a helpful hint. We'll be serving up some yummy nibbles and inspired cocktails from Art in the Age craft spirits and one lucky guest will receive a fabulous door prize - a set of custom letterpress stationery!**

To top it all off, and in case you want to get started checking things off your holiday shopping list a bit earlier this year, you'll also receive 15% OFF* your entire purchase that night, too! 

Space is limited to the first 40 people to RSVP, so be sure to RSVP (email hello@gusandruby.com with "Wish List RSVP" in the subject line) right away! We can't wait to jingle and mingle with you as we usher in a joyous holiday season!

*Discount not applicable to custom/special orders, gift certificate or sale items.  
** Door prize drawn at random at the end of the night. Winner will be emailed within 2 days of event. Custom stationery consists of 50 1-color letterpress printed flat note-cards and return-address printed envelopes to be designed and printed after January 1st, 2015. Not redeemable for cash.

Ring in the season at our Holiday Wish List Event!

 

Join us Thursday, November 15th, 6:30-8:30pm for a fabulous, private shopping event at Gus & Ruby Letterpress as we kick-off the holiday season!! 

Enjoy a festive cocktail, munch sweet treats and get a head start on those holiday shopping lists while enjoying 15% OFF your entire purchase! The shop will be stocked with all sorts of fabulous new goodies and you'll get a first look and first dibs at what's in store.

Most importantly, you'll also have the chance to create a Gus & Ruby Wish List of all those items you're hoping will find their way under your tree this year. Think of it as a holiday gift registry! We'll then keep your list on file to help out those friends and family on the hunt for a perfect gift. If you like, we'll even email the list to those people to tip them off. And, that's not all, if 3 or more items are purchased off your wish list during the holiday season, we'll mail YOU a 15% off coupon to use in 2013.  You get what you've been wishing for and your family gets stress-free shopping. Really, it's a win-win!

Space is limited to the first 30 people to respond, so be sure to RSVP (email hello@gusandruby.com with "November 15th rsvp" in the subject line) right away! We can't wait to jingle and mingle with you as we usher in a joyous holiday season!
