Alright… it’s another Thursday where I need to leave work early to fight traffic to get to Beverly Hills Saks. As a last minute decision (perhaps to boost 1st quarter sales?), Saks is having a one of their infamous gift card events today. In case you didn’t know, the breakdown is as follows:

Spend $250 to $499, get $25
Spend $500 to $999, get $50
Spend $1000 to $1999, get $150
Spend $2000 to $2999, get $300
Spend $3000 or more, get $450

Today also marks the first day of their beauty event (which already started online earlier this week). Is it just me, or have both the gifts for Saks and Neiman Marcus been meager this Spring? I thought the economy was bad! Gimme my samples! Luckily, the samples for each individual department still has been pretty good.
